Hey Jerod!
Choosing the right hosting service for your website or blog site is super important. It really makes or breaks your website.
You are right, going with cheap hosting is an option that is not a bad idea, but that depends on what your long-term goals are. Of course, if you don’t have the budget to invest in a premium hosting provider, going cheap is okay to get you started. But you have to know that as your web traffic grows you will have to upgrade later. And with this comes the hosting migration. Some hosting providers to help you with such migration. One great hosting company I’d highly recommend is called WPXHosting.
This is a great topic to talk about. Thank you for sharing the tips Jerod!
Best regards! 😀
