Yeah, the fine print can either make or break a relationship in any business. Oh the bumper to bumper warranty doesn’t cover what? Same goes for web hosting. Take care.

@Destination Infinity,
Thanks for your appreciations. Regarding your query, it is absolutely fine if you want to host a niche website with less traffic, but even if you expect spikes in traffic on some days, going for shared hosting is a bad idea.

This was a very good post. I am on the look out for a host and I was thinking about bluehost. But even they provide unlimited hosting space etc. with the same CPU restrictions. Do you think such hosting packages are ok for niche websites which do not expect so much traffic like say getting in the first page of SU etc? BTW your site is nice and informative.

@Andrew,
Yes, you are right with SQL connection errors logic. Unfortunately on shared hosting you don’t get a chance to restrict the max no of SQL connections as well. Even with wp-super cache, it is tough to manage on a shared hosting since the limits they specify are SO LOW I was told I can’t use more than 1% of CPU

When you get those SQL connection errors, it’s usually because the SQL server ran out of memory or the CPU is too busy, so the number of database connections really fits in with the CPU & memory usage.

Also, caching can drastically decrease the database connections and CPU usage. Any Wordpress blog expecting to be a hit on social bookmarking sites should have wp-cache or wp-super-cache installed and enabled.
