Take this action seriously, do research and choose a web hosting company that has had a good reputation over a longer period of time.
Here are some critical points to look at:
1. What type of operating systems does the host provider support?
2. Has the host provider a record of reliability?
Good hosting providers should offer availability rates at 98/ 99 percent. Remember this sounds great, but does the host really honor availability promised?
3. Security is a major concern. You need to look for information about firewalls, daily backups, password protection and user authentication.
It will certainly be useful if your host provider sends notifications when changes to your account and/or web pages are made, this gives you a reminder to check if any suspicious actions have taken place to your website.
It is better to look for references from people that already use the hosting provider than solely relying on the host provider web page information.
Good customer support should include freedom for you the customer that is why you must review the host provider policies to ensure you have a properly defined money-back guarantee.
Why? because you might not be satisfied with the service and need to leave the host provider.
After scrutinizing a number of hosting companies, you will only have a few possible host providers left. These need more scrutinizing so search for reviews about these providers. (you can do this on the web, but I would recommend using at least 3 different search engines to get varied results.
The main objective is to get the best viewpoints. Therefore, these reviews should be by people using the web hosting company..
The testimonials on the hosting provider websites should not be taken into account at this stage.
These independent reviews should help you to quickly get a feel of how these remaining hosting providers treat their customers and help you find a host with criteria suiting your needs.
Good Luck and all the best with your website building!
