subject: New Web Hosting Companies [print this page] Hosting a website is a potentially costly endeavor, especially if you're new to the Internet. With so many different web hosts out there offering a large variety of service plans and capacities, choosing the best web host for your own project can be a difficult choice to make if you don't have the right information.
1. Research the topic as much as you can before you decide to narrow your search for the best web host. Obtain helpful and pertinent information of web hosting and provider sites by accessing the review sites of respected reviewers; hopefully this should furnish reliable and inexpensive web hosting options for anyone seeking hosting on a limited budget.
2) When you've narrowed this down, look up each company's reputation and see if there are numerous complaints which have been lodged against them. Don't pursue any company that has had more than five serious complaints against them in the past year, as that is a good indicator of their general reputation.
3) Read through and join an online forum that discusses your web host of choice. In such places you will find plenty of advice and information about any number of things related to web hosting. Right now you may feel that your questions are going unanswered, but in a forum such as this, you may ask your questions and you will get very helpful answers.
The fourth thing you should do is look to the customer support side of each company. It is all very well finding a web hosting service that offers you the plan you need for a price you are happy with, and yet discover that their customer support is a shambled, many cheaper hosts will not have the right amount of employees ready to deal with their customers queries, such hosts should be avoided at all costs, especially if you are new to web hosting and so likely to need help getting everything sorted.
