I have a number of websites that I run where I go with the cheap under $5 a month hosting plans. Most of the time, these hosting companies are small one or two man shops. I’ve had two sets of sites be down for over 5 days because I kept on believing they would eventually fix the issue with their servers. Fortunately, these sites weren’t real money makers for me but they were still profitable so I was losing money in the end.

I finally signed up with another host and moved the sites off the servers that were down. When you choose to go with cheap hosting companies, you do need to check in on your sites every now and then to ensure they are up, especially if you have a pump and dump site as many of you affiliate marketers may have.

You get what you pay for.
