Don’t let a bad hosting decision cost you time and money. Learn the 3 most common mistakes companies make — and how to avoid them.
Choosing a hosting provider may seem straightforward — until something goes wrong. Many businesses choose based solely on price or speed to launch, and later regret it. In this article, we reveal the three most common hosting mistakes and what to look for to ensure stability, performance, and expert support
1️⃣ Focusing only on price
The cheapest plan often hides major issues:
- Frequent downtime during traffic spikes
- Limited resources (CPU, RAM, bandwidth)
- Slow or unresponsive support
💡 Solution: Look for value, not just low cost. Consider SLA, dedicated resources, and the provider’s reputation.
2️⃣ Overlooking the infrastructure type
Many users don’t even know whether they’re getting:
- Shared hosting
- VPS
- Cloud
- Dedicated
- Bare metal
Each structure has a direct impact on speed, security, and scalability.
💡 Solution: Know your application. For demanding systems, cloud, dedicated, or bare metal hosting is often the right call.
3️⃣ Ignoring technical support
Support is underestimated — until an outage hits and nobody responds.
- Limited to business hours
- Slow ticket resolution
- Lack of skilled technicians
💡 Solution: Choose providers with 24/7 expert support, clear SLAs, and fast resolution times. Peace of mind comes from knowing help is always available.
