As we know very well that there are lots of web hosting providers in market but it has been really tough to choose right one. Every company in market is promising 99% uptime, unlimited resources, and knowledgeable support but main thing is to make right decision on it.
This article will help you to make decision of right hosting provider and to know what companies mean by what they say. Let’s have glance over few important factors to consider before choosing web hosting provider.
1) Price: This is factor most of us will consider at first when choosing hosting provider but according to us it should not be the choosing factor. If one service provider is offering a law price that does mean that he is the best. Looking for the cheapest offer is not the best idea. Law cost hosting may not provide you the best support which is more needed in order to make your website presence strong. First thing that you should consider is features and then should look for prices.
2) Area of Focus: We all know that all hosting providers may not provide the solutions what we are looking for. Some hosting providers may offer great shared hosting plan but may not provide you solution that startups need. While other hosting provider may have great enterprise solution but they might not have what other small business looking for. You must look for company’s specialty or expertise area before you buy it.
3) Tech Specs/ Limitation: Take look at your website and think what really you want your website to do. If you want to host a blog, ecommerce site, videos or rich content then cheap hosting is not the best option for you as it has lots of limitation. A Cheap hosting may not be power processing, may not have RAM or disk space to server you better. I am sure that most the time you will deal with loading time or downtime issue. Also look if addition support, domain or backup is chargeable. Don’t hesitate to call them and ask question what exactly you want. Make sure that you don’t take it granted.
4) Tech Support: Make sure that hosting provider’s tech support is good because when your site goes down or you have some problem and if you are not getting good tech support , you will feel frustrated. Also make sure that they are easily accessible via live chat, phone or email. Do they provide 24*7 supports? If you find any problem
in contacting them then they are not the one you are looking for.
5) Customer Reviews: This is one of the most factors that you need to consider while buying hosting plan. You need to conduct Google Blog Search for particular hosting provider company or need to look for them on twitter. Get to know what their current customers are saying about their services and hosting plans. Are they easy to contact support? Go to their social network and ask question related to your query and probably you will get few answers. This will be most important factor to consider.
These five factors will help you to choose best hosting provider for your website. If you think we are missing some other factors you are free to comment below. Keep reading for more tips on Web Hosting
