And, in recent months, the quality of service has seriously deteriorated to reach the worst in the industry! there are so poour the host French hosteur.com

They may have been a victim of their own success and grow faster than they can handle. They remain in business but we hear very little lately. However, the problem is not there. It lies in the fact that people who paid in advance for them for two years must remain with them and suffer from poor quality of service ...

Some hosts make use of underhand introducing such costs of facilities to encourage people to pay for a long period. If a host requires a setup fee, be wary and to avoid it.

A very popular web host does not allow its customers to use FTP software, but rather forces them to use an online interface - you have many worries to download hundreds of files - like when you install a wordpress.

A very similar host also imposes a limit on file size to a few kb and a size of database of just 10 MB - even if they offer their customers hundreds of GBs of disk space and thousands of GB of bandwidth. Trying to fill those spaces in a lifetime if you can ...

Still another host claims to offer a bandwidth of 3000 GB per month - but they have a threshold of 10 GB per day does not pass. This means that in any case, you can use over 300 GB of bandwidth per month! And there are so many hosts that you lie like that ...

If we consider the annual cost of hosting these scammers is like having 80 or 90 bucks!

4 - An infrastructure of poor quality - One of the reasons why these hosts are able to offer services at a price so ridiculously low and remain in the industry is that they cut prices without scruple.

Usually, cutting prices implies a server infrastructure and network of poor quality. This usually results in a decrease in reliability and quality of services offered. This will also depend on customer service. Since a highly qualified technical team is expensive, the hosts opted for other options. They usually delegate support to persons located in third world countries and recruit workers with a minimum level of competence. Result: a quality of support to poor clients.

5 - The hidden cost: Many people do not realize when they pay for a hosting package very cheap, even if they get disk space and bandwidth with a size that goes well beyond this you need the characteristics of power shortage.
