Cheap Hosting - You Get What You Pay For

Cheap hosting is no place for your website. Let's face it, you're trying to do business on the Internet. The last place you want to try and cut corners is with your hosting. If your website is unavailable, if your web pages load slowly, if your website is hacked and someone installs a nasty little virus that brides get on their computer when they visit your website... (oh yes, it happens and Google will penalize you and block people from getting to your website - see the graphic below), you just lost ANOTHER sale... because of trying to save $400/year - or about $30/month.

You can get high-quality hosting for $30 to $60/month, depending on your needs. High quality hosting delivers performance AND security.

There isn't a faster way to lose a sale, if you ask me. There are a lot of reasons a bride will leave your website. Cheap hosting is just one.
