Getting a website online has never been so easy, with so many hosting companys to choose from how do you know which one to use? Most people sadly go for the cheapest they can find as on paper the cheapest hosting companys seem to offer the same as the more expensive ones. This is often a costly mistake as even though it wil be a short term saving, we can almost gurantee it will be longterm headache!

 

All hosting companys have a certain amount of resources at their disposal, its how they use these resources that creates the price difference. For example two companys offer 6GB of bandwith, one will cram as many people onto a server as possible whilst the other will have a cap on how many people they want on the server. The one with the cap will usually have a percentage of spare bandwith to allow for any sudden surge in traffic, the cheaper option wont. This means if suddenly a site gets a massive amount of people visiting it the server with the cap can use its spare resources to accomdate this, the cheaper server struggles and sometimes crashes / need rebooting thus your website goes offline/slows down with everone elses stuck on the server.

 

So now you know roughly how a server works and how cheap hosting isnt the way forward, but what can Squirrel Hosting offer?

In short good honest value, reliable servers and fantastic technical support.

Squirrel Hosting is a Sheffield company and if your from yorkshire you know 'us yorkshire folk' like to keep things simple and honest. This is why we offer you everything we possibly can in each hosting package without pushing the prices up. We know others like to charge more for databases or ftp access but it costs us virtually nothing to offer some of our services and as such we dont charge extra. Anything that costs us more to setup/run is put in a higher package so you never end up paying for someone elses needs.
