Would you choose cheap hosting company or are you willing to pay more ?

I would pay more for a much better service. It would take more time and cost more to move to a different host every week than to just stick with one good provider.
 
As I said, price shouldn't be the main decision factor when you choose a web hosting.

Why?

Well, look at this examples. [source]
Amazon loses $1,104 every second that amazon.com is down.
Google's 5 minutes outage is reported to have cost over $500k.

Have your site unreachable makes you lose money, directly or not.
And more. For example you can lose potential customer, it can adversely affect your reputation, you can't receive emails.

Imagine you are earning $50 per day.
A cheap host can guarantee a 99.5% of uptime, but actually it can be also lower. 99.5% means 7.2 minutes/day of downtime, which are 1.825 days/year. <<URL snipped>>
In this way, in one year you can lose about $50*1.825 = $91 per year. But as I said, there are more things other losing money.

A good reliable web hosting can guarantee (and usually maintain) 99.95% of uptime, which is 0.1825 days/year.
Hence, you lose $50*0.1825 = $9.1 per year.

It is an interesting example that can explain visually why web hosting is so important.
If you can, pay a little more, but you'll save time and money.
 
Going with cheap hosting company may make your life horrible sometimes. Everything has a Price, even tech support are paid their salaries. They are experienced and ready to help anytime.

To make your life hassle-free, pay some bucks, tryout with some web hosting company after research, if they are not satisfying you, go with some other.

To get best services and smooth running of your website, prefer reliable web hosting company with best techsupport services and quality web hosting services.
 
I would simply prefer a 'cheap price host' with 'stunning performance'. Nobody really can't offer you with unlimited space/bandwidth as it is not possible, everything is limited. Even a dedicated-server would have limits, so it's not possible to have a host with unlimited specifications.

If there is no cheap price host with good services available then I would pay more and choose some other host.

Good question, It depends If I am looking just to get a quick site up for testing etc.. I don't want to pay loads maybe £2 per month tops, But If I am trying to run a business where my livelihood depends on decent up time I will pay a premium
 
From my journey in the hosting industry, I've come to discover that generally if the price is really cheap, then the hosting won't be up to par with what you truly want.

A lot of companies believe in getting what you pay for, therefore, if you pay $3/month for an "amazing" deal with a webhost, you're generally going to get $3 service, whether it be through the support or the actual web hosting.

Myself, I'm for checking on the prices THEN going back to check on the reviews for that said host. If you see a good bit of different reviews for a host, then you know it's most likely a reputable host. As well, checking on when the company opened is a great way to tell how good their service is. As well, it's good to try and check up which kind of websites they're hosting, and see what kind of clients they're trying to pick up.

For the most part, I try to level everything out from: Support time/knowledge - quality of the host from reviews/clients. Generally this means that for cheap hosts, it will have to be from a company that I know has been around for a long time, or that is known to be good for cheap. For expensive hosts, I've learned that most of the time (hint most) they try and make sure you know you're getting the quality of hosting you're paying for. They stand up to their expensive prices per month.
 
In hosting there are few more things which are more important than price. Like :

• Your requirements.
• Security
• Uptime
• Customer support quality of the hosting provider.
• Your selected hosting provider’s customer review.
 
I would say rather pay for quality as hosts have to pay for their services aswell and usually give more to clients on higher packages.
 
If u want high quality then obviously you should pay more rather that doesn't mean that people who offer less price are not having the quality. It all depends on your budget & the needs....
 
that's on affordability.

from asian countries mostly they go for oversold extremely cheap hosting.

but in american and European countries they choose the best or the middle prices.

As some leading providers do oversell but even so sell at $10/mo,,,,

That's because of the myth propagated by forums like these that higher price = better quality. According to current wisdom, the mere act of raising your price makes you a better host.

The truth is closer to this (for small hosts/one-man shops): The more you rely on hosting to pay your bills, the more you will charge.
