When looking to select a hosting solution for your website you will have to take into account the following;
o Price
o Reliability
o Affordability
o Speed
So in this article I will aim to inform you what to look out for so you can choose the best web host for yourself and your website. If you're a small business or a medium size business then shared hosting will be perfect for you, or if you're just looking to write about your hobby or passion online then shared hosting is also a perfect solution. Shared hosting is affordable and depending where you purchase your hosting plan from is usually reliable.
Shop around, don't choose the first host claiming to host your website for a couple of cents because they more often than not will bolt off with your money right away, instead look for a website host that has been around for a long time and has hundreds of thousands of customers, after all if it can keep all those customers they must be doing something right.
The industry standard when it comes to website uptime is 99.9% this means that 99.9% of the time that someone visits your website it will show up, which is great news. However you may find new website hosts claiming this figure only to be let down in a couple of months time, once again if you go with a web host that has been around a long time you will more than often receive this amazing uptime of 99.9%
I highly recommend you take all the above factors into account so you can choose the best web hosting plan for yourself.
