Is Your Web Host Too Good to be True?Written by The Quantum Host
When searching for a hosting company, make certain to stay away from web hosting deals that seem too good to be true. If package sounds too good to be true, chances are it is. There are several respectable web hosting companies out there working diligently to operate a good business.
You will come across good and bad in web hosting industry. Luckily for every one poor hosting company there are many more companies that know what it takes to operate a hosting business. The other day I came across a link in deals section for an unlimited web hosting plan. I have seen word "Unlimited" used several times in web hosting marketing and it bothers me, along with a few more things.
First of all, web pages on this site did not work properly. This should be a red flag that you might not want to do business with this company. If they can’t get their site to work properly then why should they be concerned with yours? The only part that seemed to work was Paypal link for you to pay for Web hosting.

The QuestionsIts amazing how many businesses have spent good money on website design and still are getting little or no return on this investment. Try answering these simple questions. How much have you spent on you website? Maybe £5,000 ($10,000) or have you gone for all singing all dancing £15,000 ($30,000) site with animated pictures, frames and rolling pages. But question remains - what business benefit are you deriving from your site? How much more business are you getting because you have your website? Can you quantify and track incremental business you have received for investment you have made. When you search on what you consider a key word or phrase associated with products/services that you provide, where does your site appear in page rankings? Try Google, MSN and Yahoo, and try and find your site. If you are not on first page, ask yourself question - how many people searching for my key word/phrase will bother going to second page of results? .Now look at companies that are getting a high position in results - do you know why this is? These organisations are your key competitors and are taking business off you every day of week, in fact its 24/7 because net is always available across globe. The Answers The answer to this problem is quite simple. You have paid for someone to design a pretty website, not get you onto first page of results page. But its even worse than that, some of techniques they have used to make your site look nice may actually reduce your ability to be seen. Yes, that's right you have paid good money to become anonymous to your customers!
