Why start with small web hosting?

When I start my first web hosting for a blog two year ago, I have ambitions that my blog will have a lot of traffic, Then I choose website hosting with 'unlimtied bandwidth' and 'unlimited storage' with which I believed it would be able to support my 'supposed to be large' traffic.

This prove to be unneccessary for a starting website. because the initial traffic increase very slowly and it will take monthes before your website even get noticed and get increasing traffic. you might not want to continue your website after a while for one reason or another before it even gets popular! It is a price we have to pay before we could get some experience!

That is why starting with small web hosting is essential to start a website , actually I recommand starting your website with blogger or wordpress to get some real experience before you decide to hosting your own website! Of course if you have a lot of money to dispense then it is a different story.

How to upgrade to a better web hosting plan ?

The reason that most people do not want to 'start small' is the fear of the complex process of upgrade/move their website to a better hosting package when their website finally gets a lot of traffic , we 're all afraid of that changing the website might cause a lot of problem and lose traffic and most of the time, It is why people are willing to buy web hosting plan at the start that is not neccessary for their initial website !

But the upgrading/moving website is more easy than your think if you 're using drupal for your website, It is easy even if you decide to swith to another web hosting company . please refer to my article here for swithing your drupal website .

Choose a budget web hosting plan

I start this website a few month ago on the web hosting webhostingpad, and there 're no many visitors at the first few monthes, I dot not have any problems yet. webhostingpad claim the hosting plan allow 'unlimited storage' , 'unlimited bandwidth' but that's something I do not care for the reason here.

For right now, all I need is a stable web hosting!
