Finding one that does not give cheap service for cheap price is not that easy. I’ve done some research to help you choose the right one for you.
Here are some minimum requirements to keep in mind when choosing your hosting service.
- 24/7 technical support
- Plenty of disk space to store your content
- Lots of bandwidth to support page views
- free domain name
- Additional domains hosted in the same space
- Free site building tools
- C Panel or a similar tool to make uploading your files easy and straightforward
- E-commerce capabilities if you’re going to need them
I am going to give more details about the 24/7 technical support problem. This is a real “hot button” for me. If I have a problem with my site, I want to speak to a qualified support representative who can help me. And I want to talk to them right now while I deal with the problem. I don’t want to wait until tomorrow.
Sorry for the rant here, but I’ve been down that road and want to avoid it if possible.
One more thing you might want to consider is finding a hosting company that will give you some free Google and Yahoo marketing credits to help you promote your new site if you want to.
Well, I hope this has been helpful to you. I didn’t know anything about what to look for when I started online a few years ago. I hope my experience saves you some headaches in choosing the right web host for you.
