The dangers of budget, shared hosting
By Joe Gardiner Friday, 26th August 2011
There are plenty of web hosting companies offering low cost shared hosting that has continued to get cheaper over recent years. Cheap web hosting is particularly prevalent in the US where bandwidth is much cheaper than the UK and Europe.
