Default Which host is better?

Hi guys, just want to ask what kind of host is better? Well we all know that hosts gives us incentives when we intro someone to them, but it is just a one time incentive right? What about the hosts that give you recurring incentives as long as the newly introduced person keeps using the service? Of course it is at a slightly higher price though. Is it better?

Hi, the choice is yours. If you go for one where they pay you for referral, you have to take note of the higher monthly fees that you are paying up front. Things to take into consideration, can you refer enough people on your own to defray your cost and make some money out of it? What if the person you refer decides to stop using the service?

Cheers!

None is better than having your own server.

If you choose virtual hosting, you need to ensure you are not in the bad neighbourhood. Otherwise, it will hurt your organic search engine placement.

choose a reliable and well-known providers, because they will surely terminate those bad accounts.

if you plan to get a dedicated server, do not get from locally, because bandwidth is very expensive.

west-cost USA will be much better and the cost will be low. it will be around 70-100 for low end server.
