How to choose your next hosting company
March 18th, 2009 by Mike

With thousands of website hosting companies on the market it can be difficult if not impossible to recognise which web hosting company will provide a hosting solution at an affordable price. Having a domain with a good web host, you can get reports on your site visitors and know which of your pages your visitors are visiting most often, as well as being able to check out many other statistics.

Your web host will charge you a fee for each month of services that ranges from $4.99 or $10.99. Plan to pay between $75 and $150 per year for your hosting. You may be able to use free web hosting services, but you may experience bouts of server problems and you are likely to have substantial limitations in storage, number of email addresses, FTP services and so forth. You should just try visiting HostingTopList.com where there are current web host rankings of the best web hosts.

Be sure the web host can accommodate e-commerce, storefronts, blogs, forums, chats and anything else you may want to add to your site. Calculate what your growth needs are and check that your web host can serve you as your site grows. The last thing you want to do is change hosts mid way unless you absolutely have to do so. Check your bandwidth capacity to be sure that, if your website hits develop rapidly, your customers will not have to wait to download or view info.

These are the main things to look for in a hosting company:

1. Top notch Customer Support: Your hosting provider needs to be at any hour and give you fast access to the techs you need to help with your problems. Find out how long it takes for them to help with your problems. An effective test is to call them late at night to see if you get a real live person.

2. A Sound Infrastructure: Check to make sure they have a multi-homed network that is powered by multiple bandwidth suppliers to ensure there is redundancy. Some offer a 100% warranty that covers their network availability or network uptime.

3. Financial Stability: If you’re running very critical operations, you can’t afford to be with a host that has only been in business for a few months.

If you’re are still confused by the maze of web hosts, look at the current HostMonster ratings. They are my favorite at the moment. Good luck with finding the perfect web host.
