The main problem with the cheap web hosting deals, especially from sites that offer payment plans month to month, is that they attract spammers, phishers, hackers and other Internet bottom feeders. The problem for your business web site is that you may wind up sharing an IP address with one of these sites. If you use email to send newsletters or sales flyers for your clients, you may find your emails blocked by one or more of the primary mail server, simply because the spammers who shares your IP address has violated the rules. Finally, your web host will confirm the email service that they have removed the offending account, and your IP will be returned eventually, but meanwhile, you can not communicate with your customers. Meanwhile, spammers or phishers know their accounts will be closed in a matter of days or weeks, and they do not care.
