Finally, there remains the choice of provider. This needs a lot of research too, to check up on reliability and support issues. It can be done by checking out the host's reviews on web hosting review sites, and by browsing some of the host's existing customers' websites. Note that changing hosts after some problem pops up is inconvenient and will cause loss of business, so plan for upgrades or changes in future with a host that offers disruption-free and affordable upgrades.
