Choosing the right web hosting provider is a key step in launching a successful website. But too often, people fall into traps that lead to slow sites, lost data, poor support, and overpriced plans. At SharpHeberg, we regularly hear stories from customers frustrated with their previous hosts. Here’s how to avoid making the same mistakes.
💸 1. Falling for overpriced plans
Some providers offer cheap introductory prices that skyrocket after the first year. On top of that, they often charge extra for basic features like SSL certificates, backups, or email addresses.
At SharpHeberg, our pricing is clear, affordable, and stable. No hidden fees what you see is what you pay.
🏢 2. Trusting big-name providers too quickly
Just because a hosting company is big doesn’t mean it’s the best. Large companies often treat customers like numbers. Long wait times, overcrowded servers, and a lack of personal support are common complaints.
SharpHeberg offers a different experience: human-sized support, custom solutions, and attention to your unique needs.
❌ 3. Underestimating the importance of customer support
Your website can run into technical issues at any time. And when it does, poor support can leave you stuck for days. Many large providers only offer ticket-based support, sometimes only in English, with slow replies.
With SharpHeberg, you get fast, friendly, French-speaking support, available 7 days a week. We respond quickly and help you in plain language.
🗑️ 4. Ignoring automatic backups
Imagine losing your entire website due to a simple mistake or an attack. It happens more often than you think especially when backups aren’t included.
That’s why SharpHeberg includes daily backups in all plans. Because your data security should never be optional.
✅ In short
Here are the key traps to avoid:
- ❌ Falling for hidden or rising prices
- ❌ Picking a provider that’s too big to care
- ❌ Assuming you’ll never need support
- ❌ Forgetting the need for backups
By avoiding these common web hosting mistakes, you can ensure a safer, faster, and more reliable experience for your site. Don’t risk your website with a poor hosting decision. Choose SharpHeberg for transparent pricing, reliable performance, and personal support you can count on.
