The importance of upgradability
By on May 31, 2010 in VPS & Dedicated, Web Hosting
Say you pick a certain web hosting plan or rent a dedicated server only to find three months later you need more power. Should you pay another setup fee?
In most cases, no. Hosts have different policies on upgrading plans, but a good host will understand that that the unexpected can happen and give their customers some leeway. Most are also more than happy to pick-up the larger tab.
Before signing up with a new host, ask about the upgrade policy, especially if renting a dedicating server. Make sure that the host has a number of faster servers and doesn’t charge customers to migrate. No one wants to pay a setup fee twice.
