CON: Because you are sharing with so many neighbors (other people), if someone screws up, or get a big traffic spike, your sight could go down with there's. However, I do recommend this if you're just starting out. As long as you pick a solid host, you will be fine. NOTE: As your site start to pay for itself, you'd want to upgrade to a Virtual Private Server, or a VPS. With a VPS, you can start low and gradually scale up as needed. In other words, when your site starts to make progress, let's say about 80,000 page views a month, that's when you'd want to upgrade to a VPS.

User generated content simply put, is allowing your site visitors to add their content to your site. It may be some feedback on a product or review.

Will I get up to 99% up time as a minimum requirement for hosting my site? Do not just jump at any web hosting service just because it is very cheap without considering the facilities on ground. Search carefully for what you want.

Web hosting services are becoming more and more common day by day, and prices are going down. But it is extremely important to select a reliable, low cost web hosting services to get the most for your money.
