Hosting should be selected according to traffic, application requirements, database usage, storage, backups and expected growth rather than simply the cheapest monthly price.

Match infrastructure to workload

Monitoring, security updates, backups and a clear upgrade path are important parts of a reliable business hosting strategy.
