Best 10 must tips before selecting a webhost

After being in the webmaster world for more than 5 years and having good and bad experiences with the webhosts I have concluded that money is the not the only thing you need to see while selecting a webhost.

There are many ways by which you can determine what host you need and all. Some of them are listed here. Have a look over there and I am sure you will know some facts.

1. First thing to see on is what you need. If you are a new

website with some blog or a simple few page website then be sure not be take a

huge power of dedicated webhost. Dedicated webhosts are needed by the webhosts

that have proxy or video script running on the site. Even streaming causes lots

of usage of bandwidth. So first decide what you need.

2. Search on the internet for the best web hosts that meet

your requirements. There are some good directories like Bestnewhosts.com

directory and more. Use them to compare webhosts.

3. Read reviews regarding webhosts. See no host is perfect

but some bad reviews don’t make the host bad. So see why the bad reviews are

due to. Sometimes people are not a bit patient and make a review as bad but see

whether their problem was solved soon or not.

4. Avoid taking unlimited thing. Always guess what you need

and then take the plan. See even if the webhost provide unlimited then it does

means that this is soon gone end up as the some limit. Even if the host say

unlimited but the server has a limit.

5. Try to ask the host some questions and see the response time.

A ideal host must have a quick response or live chat. Many times this shows how

many staff they have and sometimes you can even test the experience of the web

host admin and others.

6. Have a look at the payment structure. Better pay monthly

than yearly so that if some problem occurs then you would not need to regret.

But sometimes when the host says that they need yearly payment then make a host

that provide money back guarantee.

7. Ask about Backup schedule. Many times you need to ask

about automatic backups by the webhosts.

I am sure this features comes handy sometimes. Many times

the old servers tend to crash so need to be with them on that one.

8. Uptime guaranty by the host should be taken. Many host

tell that they have 99.9% uptime but better make a tracker for a host available

online for free to get the updates.

9. Ask friends. Asking friends who have websites hosted is a

best way to get hosting. Experience is best than anything else. See what they

have got. Many times such asking can prevent you from your money loss.

10.Last but not the least. Never think that money is the

best measure. I have seen some cheap host providing best service while

customers of hosts with 7$ per month for shared hosting making complains.
