If you are currently satisfied with your web hosting company you are lucky. Other website owners are unfortunately trapped with their problematic hosting providers and they are still hesitant to consider switching hosts.
Here are a few of the reasons why website owners do not want to switch to a new web host.
1. Cheap monthly fee.
One of the reasons why hosting customers stay with a bad hosting service despite the problematic experience are the low pricing of these bad hosting companies. Affected customers should keep in mind that in exchange for the cheap hosting subscription, they getting poor hosting service and they are losing business due to server downtime and security concerns.
I remember a client who wants to stick with his problematic hosting company because he only pays $1 dollar monthly for the service. However his site keeps on getting re-infected with database injections due to weak security of the host. He came to me three times for malware removal. His WordPress site would have been malware free if he just followed my recommendation to switch host.
2. They got used to it.
Another reason why they will not consider switching to a new host is because they already got used to the control panel or interface of their current hosting. I believe this is not a justifiable reason why you should sacrifice a good hosting service over getting used to a web host panel or interface.
3. They are scared to move.
The main reason why website owners are afraid to move to a better web host is that they think that transferring there website to a new web host is a daunting and costly task. When I suggest to my clients to try other hosting providers they usually say that they don’t want to deal with the hassle of moving their sites to a new server.
Final Thoughts
With the advancements of today’s web hosting technologies, the above-mentioned reasons are already resolved by better hosting providers. There are now web hosts that offers low pricing, easy control panels, and can move your site for free so you won’t have to worry about transferring your website to a fast and more secure hosting service.
If you finally decide to move your site to a better web hosting service, you should consider a provider that offers, fast servers, free daily backup, minimal downtime, and the best customer service.
May the new year bring good luck in your online journey.
