Disadvantages of cheap Web Hosting

1. The amount of disk space is usually very limited.
2. Bandwidth (traffic or monthly data transfer) is also very limited.
3. You get a limited number of Email Accounts.
4. You get a limited number and volume of MySQL (MS SQL) databases.
5. The possibility of using various scripting languages (ASP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion) or software (various scripts, CMS, pre-installed website creation software) very limited.
6. Companies offering cheap hosting often can not provide an adequate level of security and safety of data (physical security, daily backups).
7. When using low-cost hosting, as a rule, there is no good technical support (24/7 support by phone or email).
8. You have no opportunity to place multiple sites on one hosting or create subdomains.
9. Companies that provide cheap web hosting could not guarantee 99.9% server uptime.
10. You can not use SSL protocol (Secure Sockets Layer - cryptographic protocol that provide secure data transfer).
11. You do not have complete control over the server (complete root access).
