Tips for finding the best web hosting company

With hundreds of website hosting companies in the market it can be hard if not impossible to know which web hosting company will provide a dependable hosting solution at an reasonable price. When you have a domain name with a good web hosting company, you can get reports on your traffic and find out which of your pages your visitors are visiting most often, as well as being able to check out many other statistics.


Your web host will charge you a monthly fee for services that ranges from $4.99 or $9.99. You will probably pay between $75 and $150 per year for your hosting. You can try free web hosting services, there could be bouts of server problems and you are likely to have short comings in the amount of storage, number of email addresses, FTP upload and so forth. You should just check out a site like HostingTopList.com where there are current web host ratings of the most reliable hosts.

Be sure the web host can accommodate e-commerce, storefronts, blogs, forums, chats and anything else you may want to add onto your website. Estimate what your growth needs are and check that your web host can serve you as your site grows. The last thing you want to do is change hosts mid way unless you absolutely have to do it. Check your bandwidth capacity to be sure that, if your website hits develop rapidly, your customers will not have to wait to download or view info.

These are the main things to look for in a web hosting company:

1. Top notch Customer Support: Your web hosting provider ought to be there for you 24/7 and give you fast access to the techs you need to help solve your problems. Find out how long it takes for them to respond to your problems. An effective test is to call them late at night to see if you get a real live person.

2. A Sound Infrastructure: Check to make sure they offer a multi-homed network that is powered by multiple bandwidth suppliers to make sure there is redundancy. Some offer a 100% guarantee on their network accessibility or network uptime.

3. Financial Stability: If you are running very critical operations, you can not afford to be with a web hosting company that has only been in business for a couple of months.

If you’re are confused by the jungle of hosts, look at the HostMonster rankings. HostMonster is my favorite at the moment. Good luck with your search for the perfect web hosting company.
