Using low cost hosting is to be avoid due to security issues and/or attacks that - will - take place. Would recommend instead getting a domain name and then configuring the DNS entries so that site can be hosted via Google sites or blogspot - which is free. Robert -- R.

Hi All
Recently I setup the ISOC Canada WordPress site at a Shared Hosting website due to price but upon research and discussion with Joly and others I discovered that Shared hosting opens your site to potential hacking. Research revealed that the site is shared with 3,500 others. Here is some research on the risk http://www.epicwinhosting.com/blog/is-shared-hosting-secure/
*Question: Is it worth the difference?*
Secondly, Upon discussion with the hosting company they don't have a VPS service to upgrade the account.
Thirdly When I did a WHOIS on the name this was the first thing I found. No response yet from the hosting company, Ticketed the item with their support on this issue as well. Almost feel hostage.
Name FastDomain Inc. (R1455-LROR) StatusADDPERIOD, CLIENT TRANSFER PROHIBITED, TRANSFER PROHIBITED Fourth In conversation with Joly he recommeded a VPS site called GANDI for more secure hosting https://www.gandi.net/domain/buy/result/ Also I found gatorhosting.com as well
