What would be a problem if I just get one of $10 hosting plan for my client?

Question

Hi there. I'm creating this website for my client.

It's a small local bike shop and I was wondering what kind of web hosting service I should use to host the new website.
Will there be any problem if I get the cheap hosting service that is made for personal use?
Or should I get one of those business plan??
I'm integrating PHP and MySQL but the amount of data that will be uploaded to the website won't be too much. It's just product info and comments.

Answer 1

Is this $10 / month? Or $10 /year? If it is the former. there should be no issues. With the latter you may suffer performance issues, bad support etc. which may anger your client. This entirely depends on the company you go with. Some reputable companies have offered $10 / year plans for a limited time...



Hosts expect both small business and personal clients to host with them so there should be no issues in that department. If unsure, just ask the host.

Answer 2

The cheap hosting is all you need.



You should pay between $3-$8/month for shared hosting. All you need is the cheapest shared linux hosting. I have a number of different websites hosted on shared hosting and they can handle far more data/traffic than you will need.



To give you idea I have shared hosting site that gets 3,000 visits per day and I log every page visit. I have had no performance or storage issues.

Answer 4

As it is a small business website which uses minimum resource,you can go with normal shared web hosting plan. The shared web hosting plan price may differ from one provider to another. I personally use bluehost and hostgator and they working fine for me

Answer 5

A business is NOT a personal website.



My old company if they caught you doing that would SUSPEND the account. And for a business website that could be catastrophic.



Hosting does not have to be expensive, but it does need to be the correct type.
