Clearance

Sometimes the web hosting industry is like a huge clearance. A lot of hosting providers advertise with increasingly cheap offers and they try to be better than their competitors by creating hosting plans with a spectacular amount of services.

As a customer sitting in front of the computer you can study all these offers, but it’s not easy to find out the key benefits.

So what should I expect from my web hosting company?

• The right price/performance ratio

There are some web hosting companies selling hosting plans very cheap with an huge amount of services you never can use. It’s not easy for a customer to find out, if the performance is really available as outlined in the commercial, as long as a usual website does not need the resources. If you really need such high resources, it is possible that the site slows down or the hosting is cancelled due to policy reasons. But also a technician who is operating his own server in the living room is able to sell a very cheap hosting. He has no costs for the data center, for the backup, for the failover power, and so it’s easy for him to offer a cheap product. But is it really reliable, as you expect it from a web hosting company? How much you like to spent for your domain name and your web hosting is always up to you, but you should be aware, that a reliable service is valueable and could not be that cheap.

• Availability of a helpful Support

Did you ever experience at hotline calls, that you were supported every time by another staff member and you have to explain your problem again and again from the beginning? If a support is not well organized, it is exhausting and could cost you a lot of additional money and time. It is important how you can reach the support. Is it available by email? Can I call for a local rate and do they speak my language fluently? How long is the turn around time of an inquiry? The support staff should be really helpful and they should be able to give you not only a default answer.

• Functionality

You register your own domain name, you publish your web site, you set up your email addresses to be available via email. Even a low priced product does not excuse , that the service is partially not available or you have to pay additional fees for the support.

emerion found a way to offer low priced products with service quality. The top hosting plans are hosted on the same high available shared system as the first quality-products. Even the support is available for these products without additional fees. There are just fewer services than in the first quality products, but you don’t buy a compact car to mutate it into a van.

The competitive hosting plans are available starting at
€ 1,98 p/month, domain name included!
