Web Hosting Fine Print, 3 Things to Look Out For Before Buying
Web hosting companies are really a dime a dozen these days. It is
because of this reason that a lot of them are constantly having to come
out with better pricing, or features or hosting packages in order to
increase their sales, and stay in the game. However; because some of
the web hosting companies out there aren’t always the most honest, they
advertise new features but in the fine print put clauses that take away
from these new features.
Web hosting companies are really a dime a dozen these
days. It is because of this reason that a lot of them are constantly
having to come out with better pricing, or features or hosting packages
in order to increase their sales, and stay in the game. However;
because some of the web hosting companies out there aren’t always the
most honest, they advertise new features but in the fine print put
clauses that take away from these new features.
When signing up
for a hosting package, make absolutely sure that when you register and
purchase your domain that you have actually purchased your domain in
your name. Sometimes what companies will do is put the domain name
under their name and then just rent the name out to you for an amount
every year.
The problem with this is that the domain is not yours
and if you ever decide to sell your website you won’t be able to, and
if you ever try going to another hosting company it is very hard and
sometimes impossible to get your domain name from the previous hosting
company.
Hosting companies will sometimes waive the setup fees in
order to make certain hosting packages more appealing to the buyer,
however; you do have to keep an eye out for the fine print, because I
have seen it many times where they will advertise this free setup and
then when you get to the billing part you will notice that you have
been locked into a 2 or 3 year term. It is always a good idea to look
at the billing statement preview just to make sure you’re getting
exactly what you’re supposed to and what you’re paying for.
For
the most part web hosting companies, especially those that host tens of
thousands of customer are very honest and offer exactly what they say
they are. However there are companies out there that will display
unlimited bandwidth and or transfer limits and then in the fine print
there will be a clause that limits that to a certain amount per day. So
you will get unlimited bandwidth so long as you don’t go over the daily
limit.
It is always good to remember that when purchasing a
contract with any company whether it be with web hosting or not, to
read the contract and all the fine print to make sure that you are
getting exactly what has been advertised and that there is not
restrictions , or escape clauses.
