Beware of 'Cheap' Web Hosting
Another case of "you get what you pay for" I think--On 23 May many of the estimated 5,000 sites hosted by bargainhosts.co.uk 'disappeared' only to be replaced days later with default Apache installation pages. Many site owners are without any ftp, pop, or control panel access they can't even restore their sites from their own backups." The latest problems follow the defacement of an estimated 1,500 sites hosted by baraginhosts.co.uk in April. Criticisms voiced in April about inadequate response to customer support queries have grown with the latest problem--The moral of the story? Choose a high quality web hosting service, even if it costs a little bit more. You will receive better customer service and more reliable connections. When you consider how much you would spend on rent for a real-world store, the cost of renting web space for your cyberspace business is pretty cheap by anyone's standards! Oh, don't forget to always back up your web site on a regular basis. [Full story: Bargain Hosts 'disappears' thousands of sites - The Register]
