Finding the right web hosting is kind of frustrating job for most of beginners. There are thousands of providers offer similar services around the Internet. There are no formula to find the best one, what you can do is asking someone else’s experience or read their reviews. But for most of personal blogging works, the shared hosting package is enough. Shared hosting is the cheapest option compare to other web hosting type.

You may wonder when the best time to upgrade from shared hosting to the more advance one. When the blog getting popular and attracting more traffic then start eating too much server resource, the provider usually automatically deactivate the blog and gives warning to the visitors “the website you’re visiting is currently busy try again later” or other related warning. When such warning appears on your website, it means you need to upgrade the hosting package.

Depend on how you build your blog, from the beginning until the hosting need to be upgraded take a long time, may be months or even years. In my blogging experience, the hosting can’t handle the traffic after about 24 months. But others experience maybe need shorter or longer period, depend on the traffic their get into their website. The shorter the better I think, because the more traffic you get the more money you can earn, hopefully. And the next question is: upgrade to what? Dedicated server of course, but you may consider to upgrade to vps hosting first for some period to save money.
