Why Cheap Domains and Hosting Can Hurt Your Business
Why Cheap Domains and Hosting Can Hurt Your Business
When you start a business, it’s tempting to grab the cheapest domain and hosting you can find. It feels like a small detail. But in reality, it’s one of the most common mistakes that ends up costing businesses.
Here’s why:
Cheap hosting is slow — clients leave if your site doesn’t load in 3 seconds.
Poor support means when your site breaks, no one helps.
Low-security hosting risks your site being hacked or flagged.
Domains registered in the wrong place can get locked, or you can lose control if you forget renewals.
For a client, your website is your first impression. If it’s down, broken, or flagged unsafe, they won’t come back.
Real Story: When Hosting Crashes Kill Business
In 2021, a well-known Australian clothing store reported losing nearly $30,000 in sales in one week because their bargain hosting provider went offline. Their website was unreachable for days, and customers flooded social media with complaints. The “savings” of $10/month hosting ended up costing thousands in revenue and reputation. thats crazy!
The same thing happens to small businesses every day — only it doesn’t make the news.

Funny Tip from Our Expert
“If your website takes longer to load than your microwave takes to warm up a coffee, you need better hosting.”
We’ve seen people lose clients just because of lag. Don’t let your site be the digital version of a coffee that never heats up.
