How To Choose The Best Web Hosting Service

The criteria for finding a free web host and a paid web host are similar there are only a few differences.

When choosing a free web host, first make sure youre comfortable with their advertising method. And remember free web hosts without advertisements are not really that good. These web hosts close down after some time, more often than not.

Most free web hosts offer at least 500mb of web space. It is more than enough for most websites, because most websites use only up to 5mb. But, depending on the kind of web page you want, your needs just might be higher than 500mb. In such a case, a paid website is your only option.

Other factors that must be looked into are things like your file type, or the size, which some web hosts set limits to, reliability making sure your website is more often online than offline, and bandwidth allotment.

But the options, for the most part, are limited when it comes to choosing a free web host. With paid web hosts you can be choosier.

First thing not only should the web host be reliable and fast, it should also guarantee its uptime (the time when it is functional). Uptime should be at least 99.5% or higher.

Bandwidth make sure you know how much bandwidth and disk space the company is offering you you dont want to end up getting much less bandwidth/disk space than you need.

Most companies actually offer enough up to a certain point. If your website becomes really popular, or if it exceeds a certain specified file space, the host will mostly charge you exorbitantly. Unfortunately, even those companies that advertise unlimited bandwidth/disk space actually have a limited bandwidth/disk space whose limits might be set in a slightly different way under perhaps a clause. So you have to decide what your requirements are, depending on what files youre planning to upload, and how popular you think the website is likely to get later. Also see if the host provides you with an email package and how many email ids youre allowed to have.

One more thing you need to make sure is that their service/support is excellent. The way to make sure you will get efficient support is to call the company at the phone number listed on their website (and only consider websites that offer phone support) at an odd time say twelve in the night, Saturday, and see if they reply. Another way to test their service is to send them an email, early on, asking them a simple question. If the reply doesnt come within twelve hours, you would do better with another host.

Price whereas it would not be a good idea to base your decision on the price, remember that more expensive hosts dont necessarily provide better facilities.

And last, but not the least, make sure to check out reviews about the host. This site may help: http://www.hosticon.com/
