Web hosting is at the forefront of the Internet era because if one wants to make their website available to the general public, one has to start the whole process by hosting their website with a web hosting service provider and many people opt to find a cheap web hosting service. There are many things to consider when you select a web hosting service regardless of it being cheap or expensive. One might also be able to find a web hosting service which would be negligible in cost but if your website will not work than that particular hosting will not be of much use anyway regardless of the price.
The difference in price is because of the quality of the web hosting provider, true that there are companies that are overwhelmingly expensive for a same similar function but you will have to ascertain if they are exorbitantly priced for no reason at all or is there a good and justified reason behind their higher pricing. The principle on which all web hosting service providers work is that they have their own servers which are also computers but more like main frames, they have much more faster speed, capacity and storage than common computers (and are very expensive) plus there is a whole network of backups in case of an electricity failure, short circuit or any sort of an electrical problem which might lead to the shut down of the server or servers because if that happens, your website will go offline as the server is the place where your website is stored and brought up from every time someone accesses it.
If the servers are too slow, what will happen is that your website will open too slowly and this is something we have all come across at one point in time or another where we went to a specific website and it took considerable time to open. This happens because the server is too slow and under load or you can also call it an overload, which is causing it too slow down just like your own personal computer because of too many operations simultaneously. All servers have their own capacity and technical specifications to which it will function at the best possible speed but it can be over loaded with a bigger storage capacity and this leads it to slow down as there is too much information for it to process. There would be hundreds of other websites along with yours on that server, regardless of the fact of how big your website is and eventually, it will take up just a tiny portion of the server and this is how web hosting companies make their money. The ones who offer very cheap web hosting services generally overload their servers or do not have a good dependable server because of which they are able to offer relatively low prices.
There are also some good companies out there that offer web hosting services at a considerably cheap price as well, sometimes it is because they have a promotion going to increase customers or are new in business. Whenever you decide on a cheap web hosting service provide always make certain you will not face these problems and if these are not problems for you than do not have any hesitation at all about where your website is being hosted.
