The different types of clients.

Well, I think that this factor gets looked over, much too often, even by myself.

Have you ever noticed the different the type of clients you receive when you own a "cheap" host, compared to an "expensive" host?

I Have!

There is a huge difference.

When you own a "cheap" host, you tend to receive, well, "slummier" clients. These hosts also tend to have more problems then the more "expensive" hosts.

The "cheap" hosts clients are also more likely to use their allotted disk space and data transfer, this all adds up to higher CPU load, more ram usage, etc... The more expensive hosts clients tend to use only what is needed, not the unnecessary, lower CPU loads, lower ram usage.

Lets look at the support area, the "cheap" hosts tend to have trouble in this area, either they have to many clients with not enough revenue to cover their support costs, or, they pickup clients that need their hand held through this new amazing yet horrifying experience. So, they're is a "flood" of support tickets. Now look at the the "expensive" hosts. They have priced their plans to fit their business plan, their support costs, and still maintain a decent profit. And they tend to pick up experienced clients.

Are you hearing me?

I could go on, and on, and on. But it's simple. These little things add up!

Cheap hosts are almost doomed for failure in today's market. It's just a fact. They try to offer to much for to little, they get top heavy, and end up going out of business. And if they do turn a profit, it's probably very... Miniscule? Therefore making it a waste of time.

Expensive hosts are harder to start, but, once they get going, it's a force to be reckoned with! They can afford the extra support costs, they can afford to pay employees, they can afford that big fat advertising bill, and they still turn a decent profit.

This is definitely something to ponder... Do you want to take the for the quick cheap buck? Or do you want to build and establish a successful web hosting business. It's up to you, I've laid out only MINOR pro's and con's.

You have the power. Use it!
