The Internet is loaded down with companies pledging that they offer affordable web hosting. It is necessary for each individual to determine for themselves which companies are being genuine and which are simply trying to pull the wool over your eyes.
 

 
Toll Free Numbers
Many companies post toll free phones numbers on their websites that customers supposedly can call anytime. However, many of these phones numbers turn out to not be reliable at all. They either don’t work or they only seem to work Monday through Friday during certain hours. This is despite the fact that the toll free number may make you believe that you are literally able to call 24/7.
 
Subscription Required Before Special Offers
You will find that a number of unfair companies will not allow you to have access to all of the things that you get with their product until you subscribe. The website iwebtool.com explains it like this,

Cheap web hosting companies often makepromises of free downloads worth thousands of dollars. You cancheck this offer only after you subscribe to their service.

You need to have access to review the products and downloads that you may get before you ever have to subscribe. That is the only way to know for sure what value you are getting.
 
Putting Up Fake Reviews
Popular review sites often attract companies with bad intentions. They set up fake accounts to put up fake positive reviews about their services. It is a disservice to everyone because they are giving out only information that they want you to believe, not necessarily what is really true about their services. This is one of the more popular tricks used today and something to watch out for.
