subject: Choosing The Most Suitable Hosting Package: Some Hints And Tips [print this page] The prospect of choosing a web hosting deal that works for you, as well as your site, can seem daunting, especially given the bewildering array of available options.
There are large numbers of web hosting companies to choose from, both in the UK and abroad. It used to be the case that it was possible to get cheaper hosting by going with a US web hosting company, especially given the exchange rate. However, these days the general preference for UK users is to choose UK hosting: prices are now very reasonable, and, if your audience is in the UK, connecting to your site wont involve transatlantic data hops, thereby giving your users a generally swifter connection.
So, you have decided to choose a UK web hosting company. But theres still plenty of choice.
Start by looking for companies that have been long established. In the internet era, even 2 years can count for a long time, but ideally you should be looking for hosting companies that have been around for close to a decade: this shows real staying power in a highly competitive industry, as well as an ability to move with the times.
For instance, when considering affordable UK web hosting from EUKHost, bear in mind that we were established in 2001 and have the kind of experience in the hosting business you are doubtless looking for.
Next, look carefully at the websites of each company youre considering. Make sure the sites are written in good, clear, prose, and check that the various packages on offer are explained in laymans terms.
Pricing is also an important part of the equation. You will find for instance that with web hosting by EUKHost, our most affordable cPanel hosting package is pretty hard to beat, including a fantastic 2GB bandwidth allowance. Taking in to account our superb 24/7 365 days a year technical support, affordable website hosting from EUKHost is certainly worth serious consideration.
