First and foremost you have to see that you are a experienced or a beginner in the web hosting. Because beginners are advised to choose a web hosting plan that will run on the windows platform. Why because windows platform are user friendly you can handle the things easily because you may be using windows stuff on your computer already.
These are the things you have to consider while choosing a web host.
- You have to make a research on the web hosting providers first by reading the reviews.
- Make sure that the web host providers offer a website design builder especially if you are a beginner and if you don’t know the basics in web designing. And also make sure that they will help you setting up your website to your satisfaction.
- Check their customer support, because a lot of tem offer 24/7 customer support through phone, which will be just a lie, to check this make a call to the web hosting company at the unearthly hour and see what the response they give if their response is satisfactory then you may know that the customer support of the company is strong.
- You have to check that they are providing all the features you need like FTP, PHP, Perl, SSI, HTAccess, Telnet, SSH, MySQL etc. and also check that the feature you require are also offered.
- You have to test the speed of the network. You can do that by clicking the start button→ Type “Command” and press enter and then type “ ping hostdomainname.com”. and wait for the process to get finished and after the process gets finished look for the average ping. If the number is lower then its better. Any number below the 80 is good and any number above 100 is bad, until and unless the host is based in another country.
- You should not get fooled by the advertisements which the particular web hosting company provides. They provide the advertisements that proclaim that they will provide unlimited bandwidth. You might not need more bandwidth but you must make sure that you are going to get enough for your site to perform well. Make sure that you are not buying more than that you need.
- You have to understand the different kinds of the hosting if it suits your requirements or not. Make sure that you are going for the shared or the dedicated hosting.
- You have to know that what kind of server you are using. For most of the applications Linux servers are the best option.
- Its rare that the cheap web hosts providers are also providing good service. The lot of the web host providers will provide cheap rates to only attract more and more customers. But they don’t provide good service they are just scams. Try to have a look beyond the advertisements they are displaying.
- Make sure that you are able to try the web hosting service before you are paying for the service they provide. These days most of the web hosting providers are providing trial offers so you can try their services before you purchase the web hosting service. If you are not able to try then you try and find a plan with that 30 day money back guarantee, if you are not with the quality of service they are providing you can quit and get the money back. This will protect you by avoiding the wastage of money.
