Cheap web hosts can actually do quite a lot for those of us who know how to use their services to the fullest. Now when I say "cheap", I don't mean anything poorly set up. I'm talking about inexpensive, yet valuable - know what I mean? The fact is that many cheap web hosts online provide excellent service, and their account packages each allow for our creativity in web designing according to each of our individual needs.
For a good example of what I'm talking about here, let's assume you need to create a presence on the web for a business you might have in the real world, in order to spread the word and increase your client base, or just to offer information about your whereabouts, what you do, etc. - using the services of any of the cheap web hosts out there, you could do this with a simple, single-paged website, a domain name and maybe an e-mail account as well. For this, you could easily find an account costing around $5 per month. That's pretty darned cheap, right?
Or it could be that your needs are not so uncomplicated, but cheap web hosts can still supply you with an account to have your needs met. Let's say that you run a web log (or "blog") which showcases the business you run, offers tips or tutorials on the subject of your hobbies you might like to share, or even to create a world-wide discussion on some areas that you are expert in. performing this activity would eventually accumulate a large group of readers, loyal fans, fellow bloggers and others. You could still use the cheap accounts that web hosts can provide.
Imagine that you did all of this as a means of generating income. You could monetize your blog through the use of relevant, contextual ad placement within your posts. This would create the need for more storage
space for posts, bandwidth to accommodate increasing numbers of visitors and perhaps sub-domains for branching off of your main domain name for each post. You could easily find the right account to use for this that cheap web hosts offer, for around ten to fifteen bucks per month to do all of this - perhaps less.
As a further example, let's say that you need to do your web hosting on a much larger scale - cheap web hosts can still provide you with service. Maybe you're someone who generates your income solely online. You'd certainly require more bandwidth and storage space, as well as other things. Maybe you're a publisher of a newsletter that you distribute through e-mail to a vast subscriber base. Maybe you offer products for online sale which people could buy and download from your web pages. Maybe you operate an array of monetized blogs which review other people's products for affiliate commissions.
Okay, so maybe you do all of the above. Can the use of cheap web hosts really still be a feasible option here? With the use of a reseller account, cheap web hosts can still handle this, and surprisingly, even much, much more - seriously. You see, the concept of reseller accounts was originally put together so that anyone who wished to join in on web hosting business, offering services to others, could do so and enjoy a stable monthly income... but now, reseller accounts aren't cheap ssd hosting for just this type of reason anymore. You can actually use a reseller account, which many cheap web hosts offer, to host an unheard of amount of websites, affiliate promotion sites, monetized blogs, forums, discussion boards on various topics, and stake your claim on a huge chunk of the internet all for your own use.
Paying for a reseller account would only cost around twenty to thirty dollars per month, and it would permit you to create and host more websites, domains, and download pages than you can shake a stick at. If you think about it for a bit, at the price of the account, all of your websites that you can host on a reseller account could effectually be less than one cent each month in cost, per website - could cheap web hosts be any more inexpensive?
