It does not matter if you are looking for a place to put your Blog or somewhere to put up a web site, there are still four things to consider when selecting a hosting service.
Do they offer a lot of web space and traffic? Just because they are offering low cost web hosting doesn’t always mean they offer very little service. Sometimes you will find they offer the same amount of bells and whistles the big boys do.
Are they available 24/7? Sometimes web hosting companies offer such low prices because they don’t have the best customer service. Make sure when you are looking for discount web hosting that you test their support before you actually purchase from them.
What is their stated uptime? Sometimes a budget web host provider will cut back on their web server’s uptime. Make sure the host your choose offers at least 99.5% or better uptime. Everyone has different needs, so make sure you take this into account when looking around.
How long has the web hosting company been in business? If they just got established recently you might want to look for one that has been around for several years. While not always true, most newer companies do not last long. If you do choose to go with a newer company, be sure to back up your site often, just in case something happens.
These are just the basics. Just remember to do your research before selecting a provider and you will avoid headaches down the road.
Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. — Thomas Jefferson
