1. Top Web Hosting - What To Look For
If you are creating a business web site, or a non-commercial site to which
you want to get visitors, then you need a top web hosting service.
Your visitors will want your site to load quickly and are less likely to return
if it is slow or is not available. Google also takes account of this when
deciding how to rank sites. To avoid these issues it is best to use one of
the established and reputable hosting companies.
Don't consider free hosting, there is always a disadvantage and you will
not get the level of support that a new user will need. It is not expensive
to get a good shared hosting package although there a great many to
choose from and some are better than others.
Finding the best hosting package for you can therefore take some work.
You might look at review sites but this can confuse matters because they
make different recommendations. You might search out user comments
but inevitably will find some complaints about every host (to be expected
given the number of customers they have). I have looked through a lot of
such comments and would say that the majority of negative reviews in
one way or another relate to support (or lack of it).
To find the top web hosting for your needs you must to be clear what they
are:
• Linux or Microsoft Hosting:- If you have employed third party
developers they will advise on the hosting requirements. Which you
need will depend on the tools you will use to produce and run your
site. Most people use Linux hosting in the absence of any specific
requirements.
• Type of hosting (shared, VPS, dedicated server):- Choosing a host
that offers an upgrade path is a good strategy if you expect your
site to grow significantly but it is normal to start with shared
hosting. Shared hosting means that many users' sites are hosting
on a single server and share things like the disk space on that
server. It is possible to put too many users on one server but
reputable web hosts will not do this.
• Site Performance:- A site that performs poorly is a sure way to lose
visitors and frustrate those who stay. Look for guaranteed
availability of at least 99.9%. To get an idea about loading speed
you can look for any user comments and also look at the host’s own
site.
• Customer Support:- As mentioned above good support is essential.
Good web hosting services will provide support by phone, chat and
email and do so 24/7.
• Resources:- For shared hosting you usually see unlimited website
hosting offering unlimited resources including unlimited disk space
and unlimited bandwidth. Clearly "unlimited" is not possible as a
server has finite resources. The host must exercise some control
otherwise one user could take all the server resources. Despite this

2. "unlimited" shared hosting keeps the product simple and resources
are unlikely to be an issue unless the site gets busy.
• Price:- You should only consider price after your other requirements
have been met. Although there are pricing differences they are not
great enough to be more important than the points above. Most
hosts offer incentives to new customers so you can take maximum
advantage of these by signing up for as long as possible (provided
you can get a refund if you need to cancel).
