subject: Which Web Hosting Provider Should You Choose? Make Right Choice [print this page] Which web hosting provider should I choose? This question should appear the first among all the others. It is no use to move further without answering it. The most part of information you can take from the site directly. Do not go to the Testimonials page where people leave boffo reviews about some product. In most cases all the comments are not true.
Let's go to the "Contact US" page on a hosting provider site. Usually, you can see just 3 variants there.
1. You see a full contact form including telephone numbers, office physical address, email address.
2. You see only e-mail and an online messenger number, etc.
3. You see a full contact form, but all the pointed details are foreign.
If we see the first variant, we come to the conclusion that this is an organization. Someone paid for the office rent and bought all the equipment. Be sure that they have an accountant's department. All this leads to the conclusion that this company is responsible to its customers.
Though, all rules have exceptions. If your future hosting company is an organization, this does not mean that you will be satisfied with the service. As a rule, price is high. If this organization has licenses, this fact adds trust to the company.
The second variant is more risky. Most probably this hosting provider is a "young and perspective team". In reality this means the following. This team is some friends who stay at home and rent a server from a bigger hosting provider. Is it good or bad? There is no unambiguous answer.
But hosting providers like that usually disappear quickly. In spite of this you can be satisfied with the service quality. As a rule, these hosting providers do not have any license and they will not give you any document. This variant is not good for legal bodies.
The third variant is also very interesting. This can be either an organization or a "young team". But if this is a serious company and it opened its office somewhere, one question appears to ask. Why did they not do it properly? Why did not they include a local telephone number and technical support? Usually these companies like responding via e-mails.
The second thing to view is a way of payment.If there are a lot of ways, this company can be trusted.If there are just web ways of payment, again, this is definitely somebody's account.In any case, simply call the organization. At least an auto-answer should reply you.
