Simply comparing the monthly web hosting rates is misleading. If your site does not produce any income, then you might save a few dollars each month by subscribing to a cheap web hosting service. The value of reliable web hosting service becomes painfully apparent when the cheap web hosting service fails for periods of time during peak periods or when technical support is not available for the tasks that you need accomplished.

Reliable Server, Network and Technical Staff

Consider this. Most web hosting services claim 99.9% up-time. When the profit margins are high or the products are high ticket items, the cost of web hosting becomes incidental compared to the need for reliability. Our servers are monitored 24/7 by trained professionals. If anything fails there is a response within minutes. Down time for server maintenance is scheduled during off-peak hours. You can rest assured that your web site is in good hands with AShopWebHosting.com web hosting service.

There is an old saying, "penny wise and pound foolish". It is ok to use cheap web hosting services for personal and hobby sites, but it is an absolute mistake for a serious business web site.

We only use high quality servers, which are housed and maintained in a secure environment with 24/7 physical monitoring by trained technicians. The down-time for our servers is less than .0001% and most of this is from server maintenance, which is always done during off-peak hours. This level of reliability is expensive for us to maintain and I would guess that our profit margins are lower than the cheap, high volume web hosting companies, but for us the choice is simple.
