Tips On Choosing A Webhosting For Your Website

There are tons and tons of tips provided online on how to choose the best webhosting for your website/s

. The tips provided below are from firsthand experience of somebody who moved from one hosting to another over a span of 8 years. These tips are practical and useful if you are new and just starting to run a website and are planning to get a webhosting.

What should we look for in choosing a webhosting company?

1.Track Record. You have to play wise and choose conservatively if you are starting. Check out reviews and feed back by other people that used the webhosting services you are planning to buy into. Remember that you are doing this to avoid fly by nights webhosting companies; and to determine that support is provided effectively to its clients.

2.Determine your needs. Do you need a shared hosting? If you are planning to host a single website for a few months or a year, with projected web pages of less a thousand, and traffic that is less a thousand a day, then shared hosting maybe enough. If not, and you think you will be expanding soon enough, you may consider a dedicated server, and if it is costly for your needs, consider getting a VPS (Virtual private Server).

3.Cost. After selecting a few companies based on your search and online feedback, determine the price offered versus the specifications. Decide what is best. Do not get suckered into paying for many years down the road, otherwise you will get stuck in a provider even if you are already planning to move.

4.Support. IMO, this is very important. Test the webhosting support system by using chat, phone or email. Support should be provided to help you navigate their site, and to set up your website. Instant, fast and reliable support is best. Do not be shy; ask support if you need it.

5.Stability. Do they offer a 99.99% uptime? The webhosting company should have reliable and stable providers; otherwise it would affect their servers and cause problems for your website/s.

6.Location. This should be the last among your worries; it would help to get a webhosting provider that is located or closest to your market or website audience. If you think that most of your visitors would come from Europe, it is better to get a webhosting company whose servers are located in Europe as it could help the download speeds of your website.
