First, there is the Shared Web Hosting. This type of hosting means a location is shared by many websites. All the websites in a shared server will share the resources such as space, bandwidth, IP address and so on.
(2). Get A Linux Plan - A Linux plan is more reliable and use up less resources than windows. A word of caution here though, unlike windows that is not case sensitive linux is, so make sure that you use all lower case letters in your file names to avoid any recognition problems.
Just understand one thing; dedicated hard work over long hours generates a big money income. Now look again at what Affordable Web Hosting is in the context of real work.
Below are a few more but I could go into great detail and do not want to confuse you. If you have the time, look into all of them by using your favourite search engine and decide which is best for you.
FREE WEB HOSTING SERVICE. This is the most popular type of website hosting. From the word itself, the service is free. Because there are lots of beginners choose this type first before other type because they try to learn the basic things to do in managing website. But because it is free, you cannot have your own domain name. You will only have a sub-domain name. We are not recommending this type, better have a cheap web hosting, because sooner or later, you need to have your own domain name for your Shared Web Hosting UK.
I am from the UK and a few years ago I would struggle to purchase products from the United States online. This was because most websites only accepted major credit cards, but I had a debit card and this was not always accepted. But this is less of a problem now that more companies are accepting PayPal.
My one bit of good advice is do not sign up with any server for a long period of time to start with. It will be cheaper in the long run but at first just sign up for a little while. Try before you buy, make sure that the service provider is able to meet your expectations. If it does, then sign up for a longer period and save money.
