A good rule of thumb would be to do a web search for the term Affordable Web Hosting and from the results returned, go to each company and see what they have to offer and then use the company which you feel has the most Affordable Web Hosting package.

Beware of companies that can quote you a price almost without hearing any details of your project. Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions! Your web site represents a significant investment and you should get clear explanations of what is involved and how the project is priced. On the other hand you should also be ultra clear and specific about the process flow of your business. Remember, your designer might know little to nothing about your industry and without sufficient specifics from you, there can end up being unexpected costs when the designer has to rework the design and coding.

So you have your Shared Web Hosting UK site planned out. You know who you want to visit your site, what you want them to do when they get there, and have a pretty good idea how you want your site to look. Now it is time to give your site a name. For a web site that means "registering a domain name". Domain names can be registered pretty cheaply (from about $8 to $15 depending on the domain type).

Where do I buy a domain name? Don't worry. Nowadays, many hosting providers will give you free domain name just to sign up with them. But if you like to build many websites, then you will need to register domain names. I would suggest Moniker, Godaddy etc...

While most of these top 10 web hosting services come with the 'unlimited' tag, do not be misled into thinking you will actually get unlimited space. The claim in reality means your usage of bandwidth will be unrestricted, not infinite. Also it will make sense for you to first figure out what your exact requirement is and whether you will really need to go for the unlimited hosting plan. Speak to the service provider before digging into your wallet and go for only what you require and you think will best suit your needs.
