How to Choose a Web Host
Overview
Selecting the right web host involves identifying certain key qualities to ensure you're getting the best overall deal. Luckily, you're in a buyer's market with numerous web hosting companies eager for your business. This guide will help you pinpoint the top deals available.
1. Don’t Focus Solely on Price
While it's tempting to opt for a low monthly fee like $4.99, you need to ensure you're getting value for your money. The solution is thorough research. Check multiple hosting reviews and compare different packages. Don't hesitate to rely on the advice from these review sites; they specialize in making informed recommendations and may even highlight excellent special offers.
2. Choose a Specialized Web Hosting Company
Many businesses offer free website templates, add-ons, and even cover transfer costs from other hosts. However, their primary income often comes from web hosting. This approach may not be transparent or fair. Instead, seek a company dedicated solely to web hosting that clearly identifies itself as such.
3. Prioritize Human Interaction
Top web hosting companies have been in business for years, employing skilled technical and support staff. Key indicators of a quality host include a 24/7 help desk, online chat support, comprehensive contact details, user forums or blogs, and regular newsletters or updates. It’s crucial to have direct access to support when needed. The best companies often go above and beyond, assisting with unrelated computer or software queries, making them worth seeking out.
4. Emphasize Capacity and Uptime
While many hosts offer free software (sometimes worth hundreds of dollars), capacity is crucial. Options with as much as 3TB are available, which should suffice for most small to medium businesses. Make sure your host has minimal downtime. If they're measuring downtime in minutes rather than seconds, look elsewhere. High-quality hosts will have almost zero downtime, essential for maintaining sales, income, and customer retention.
5. Evaluate the Host's Website
A company’s website often reveals its true nature. A poorly maintained site may reflect a fly-by-night company, while a high-tech site indicates a forward-thinking, efficient host. A reliable company will showcase a methodical and well-organized website. Choose a web host whose site you find trustworthy and professional.
By considering these factors, you can make an informed choice and find a web host that best fits your needs.
