Generally cheap hosting is what it is described as - cheap. If a host is offering below average prices, then you can expect below average services.
However, expensive does not necessarily translate into reliable service. My advice is to make sure you find a host that has been around for over a year. Talk to their customer service department, get to know who you are doing business with, then make a decision on what is best.
About the free domain name offers, generally free domain names are not necessarily free. The price is simply added into the yearly price of whatever package you are purchasing, so while you are seeing $0.00 for your domain name, really it is simply added onto the total price of the package. So, this really doesn't have any affect on the services you can expect from a host.
Hope this helps.

a good explaination 
In addition, you get what you pay for. Dont expect a stable server and good support from cheap providers. They will need to oversell server to get profit, and when they dont have profit enough, can they hide more staff to support customers?
Of course, as Goodydomains mentioned, you should make a search about the host, try to contact them sometimes, and see how they reply. That will help

Cheap hosting is cheap for a reason. Overselling often results in poor uptime and a high server load. That is not to say that many more expensive hosts don't also put thousands of accounts on a single server, so it is a good idea to do a bit of research before selecting a host. My advice is to look for something in between. Find a host that has been in business for at least six months and ask them questions like what has their uptime been so far this year etc. It is also a good way to test their tech support. If they don't respond in a timeframe that you consider acceptable, then look for another company.
Good luck finding a host.
Just be careful that the domain is registered to you and not your hosting company. Many people run into issues when they go to change hosts and they find out they no longer have access to their domain name. Generally it is a good idea to keep your hosting and domain seperate.
Good luck finding a host.

Yes , in some cases it can make a big difference.
IF you pay , let's say $15 for 10Gb , that price is way to low, in that case the risk is higher that a company will go bankrupt or will not have enough money to replace hardware or pay unexpected technical costs...

Generally cheap hosting tends to be of lower quality. Don't get me wrong but there are a couple "cheap" hosts out there that do offer what most expensive host do altought they are quite rare.

well..
if you really want to know,
Cheap hosting could be reliable. You need to make sure they survive at least 2 years or so to consider to be a reliable host.

In rare cases, cheap hosting are reliable ones. It's a way of trapping customers by offering cheap plans.Whatever hosting you go for, cheap or expensive, you need to find out for how long the company is online, what's their uptime, what's the experience of people who have taken the services of that host. If a company is online for a long time, it has survived because it's providing reliable services.

Cheap host's lower their prices these day's in order to keep up with the competition. Web hosting prices become lower every year, and in order for web host's to sell they must have below average prices. The lower the price, the more customers, not in every case though. Some people might think that "cheap" hosting is less dependable than "expensive" hosting and this is true in some cases, but situations vary. Now day's web hosting companies could be run by anyone, a 8yr old, a 100yr old, which means that the hosting you will buy, wheather its expensive or cheap, will vary no matter what.

The big problem these days is that there are a lot of new company's , selling let's say :
5 GB space for $10 , $10 for 5 Gb space is not profitable, unless they use Celeron servers.
Altrough If you use a host like that, you can be sure that they wont last a very long time ...

That's true , but the main problem is that most of the cheap hosting comps are overselling their servers ...gate2vn said:Celeron is fine if host doesnt overselling

Just a thought: If you sell 5Gb at $10/month with a 120Gb drive at $160/month, running on a Pentium 4 HT 3.0Ghz processor, then you are actually profiting $80.00. Now, in terms of running a business that is not necessarily a great profit margin, however it is still a profit.
In addition, on average hosting clients will not use 5Gb of webspace. Some might say it is overselling to run a business on such a concept, but in actuality it is reality. This is why some very profitable companies can sell 10,000Mb space and 200Gb of bandwidth for $3.95/month and still be on top of the industry.
Hope this helps.

I have to agree with that, altrough it depends on where you locate your servers, our servers are located in Europe and if we sell 5 Gb for $10 a month ,then we will not make so much profit, this because we use 2x80Gb's hard disks in each of our servers to guarantee speed, one of these 2 hard disks is used for our daily backups, so we can only sell 80GB.goodydomains said:
Remember that you need to factor in the price of offering tech support, advertising and other business related costs.

Yes, factoring in business expenses reduces the profit margin considerably, if you do not consider the average of space/bandwidth used across the range of your clients. However, the profit margin increases dramatically when you consider this usage.
