Used with author's permission.&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;!-- AdCentsPro --&amp;gt;   &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Anyone who has ever shopped for web hosting knows that you can spend anywhere from nothing up to several hundred dollars to host your web site. So whats the difference? Well often times if youre talking about typical shared web hosting in the $6 to $20 range  nothing. Thats right  nothing! Nothing that is, except good old fashioned marketing and hype!&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;We compared standard features on 5 well known shared hosting accounts to see exactly what you get for your money  and the results may surprise you. What we really care about in our test is probably what you would care about as a small business owner looking for hosting for a basic site: adequate disk space, ample email accounts, and reasonable bandwidth. We looked over all the other bells and whistles  but werent really willing to pay loads extra for them. We were also looking for a short term contract (monthly or quarterly)  not a year or two commitment.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Upscale&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Verios Bronze Plan - &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://hosting.verio.com/index.php/unixwin_bronze.html&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_new&amp;quot;&amp;gt;http://hosting.verio.com/index.php/unixwin_bronze.html&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Monthly Price (including set up fees) - $24.95 per month + free setup&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Basic Specs  250 MB of diskspace, 7.5 GB of bandwidth, and 20 email accounts&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Extras  Web design software, free domain pointing, Urchin web stats, free chat software&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Our take  If this were 1998 I might consider paying $24.95 for a package like thisoh wait, its 2004.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Mid Tier&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Interlands b100 Account - &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.interland.com/shared/bluehalo/?package=b100&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_new&amp;quot;&amp;gt;http://www.interland.com/shared/bluehalo/?package=b100&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Monthly Price (including set up fees) - $12.95 per month + free setup&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Basic Specs  250 MB of diskspace, 10 GB of bandwidth, and 30 email accounts&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Extras  WebTrends web stats, access to log files, firewall protection&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Our take  This is one of the biggest brands in hosting and their prices have been reduced of late. Still pretty expensive compared to aggressive lower priced competitors.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;SuperbHostings U Power Service - &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.superbhosting.net/upower.php&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_new&amp;quot;&amp;gt;http://www.superbhosting.net/upower.php&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Monthly Price (including set up fees) - $12.50 per month + free setup&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Basic Specs  1000 MB of diskspace, 50 GB of bandwidth, and 250 email accounts&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Extras  Free domain, 30-day money back guarantee, daily data backups, free search engine submission, no content restrictions&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Our take  Another well known hosting service that seems to offer considerably more value in the mid-tier than other companies.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Cheap Hosting&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;IPowerWeb - &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.ipowerweb.com/products/webhosting/index.html&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_new&amp;quot;&amp;gt;http://www.ipowerweb.com/products/webhosting/index.html&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Monthly Price (including set up fees) - $9.95 per month + $30 setup&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Basic Specs  800 MB of diskspace, 40 GB of bandwidth, and 400 email accounts&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Extras  $50 Google AdWords credit, money back guarantee, SSL included, unlimited email forwarding&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Our take  Often thought of as the low priced hosting leader. Their plans really shine when signing up for an annual account where the price drops to $7.95 per month.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;HostSave Standard Hosting - &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.hostsave.com/hosting/plan_features.htm&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_new&amp;quot;&amp;gt;http://www.hostsave.com/hosting/plan_features.htm&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Monthly Price (including set up fees) - $8.95 per month + free setup&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Basic Specs  1000 MB of diskspace, 100 GB of bandwidth, and 500 email accounts&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Extras  Free MySQL database, catch-all email address, PERL v5, log file access&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Our take  This looks like the best deal for our basic needs. They have a big brand name and all the features we need plus the MySQL database thrown in.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Conclusions&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You can pay a lot for basic shared web hosting  you can also get it on the cheap. While certain specialty features might justify paying a premium, our analysis suggests that you can probably get the same specs  maybe even better specs  without paying more money. So for our hard earned bucks, cheaper is definitely better!&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;  About The Author&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Bob Frazer&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Email: &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;mailto:info@cheaphostingdirectory.com&amp;quot;&amp;gt;info@cheaphostingdirectory.com&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://CheapHostingDirectory.Com&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_new&amp;quot;&amp;gt;CheapHostingDirectory.Com&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; is a resource for webmasters and consumers looking to find a web hosting company or a quality expiring domain names with traffic.
