When looking for a shared web-hosting provider, it is important to remember that when using shared hosting, you do not have full access to the physical server. By its very nature, you are sharing all the resources of the sever with every other user. What you do will affect everyone else, just as what other users do may also impact you. There are several things you should be looking for when you are ready to start looking for a good shared web hosting provider.
In Shared Web Hosting, several websites use the same server. The security is not in the hands of the website, but in the hands of the service provides. This can make the Shared Web Hosting UK service unsuitable to sensitive businesses. You have to make a decision on how reliable you web service provider is. Also, as there are 10 to 30 websites using the same server, the speed is slow, and if you're planning on selling, this could hinder your sales. This kind of web hosting service is only suited to small businesses with moderate traffic levels.
User generated content simply put, is allowing your site visitors to add their content to your site. It may be some feedback on a product or review. It could be a posting on your Shared Web Hosting UK forum. How about letting visitors post articles to your site or allowing them to add themselves to your business directory?
I have recently shared a customer's nightmare with a supposedly reputable domain registrar. All they wanted was their domain pointing to a different DNS server (the server that tells the internet where your website is), a simple request, they received no response from any of their emails. I didn't like their silence and suggested we actually move the domain to my registrar instead, more emails sent, more silence, weeks of it!

Forget Testimonials at the host's page. Although we also have them and what is written are true opinions, no doubt, you have to see for yourself if the company is as reliable as it claims. Just contact them and ask for information you will need to know. "Where is their data center located?", "What happens if I exceed a bandwidth limit?", "Do you provide basic help with scripting?", "Am I going to have full control over my domain and if not do you register the domain at customer's name?" etc. Ask any question that might affect on your online business.
