How to Choose a Good Web Host

by Chris Channing

Web host companies are growing in size, and are in high demand due to the massive amount of web sites being created daily. Free web hosting and commercial paid hosting is available for all users.

There are a few upsides to free web hosting. One of them being, its free. With a free web host also comes advertising that cannot be controlled by you. They usually consist of banners, and sometimes pop up ads. Free web hosts also have a set number you can have available for bandwidth. Exceeding this bandwidth restriction will have some undesirable repercussions. If you need a lot of space you will definitely need to purchase a paid web host service.

Keep in mind, free web hosts also have limits on the size of a file you can upload at one time. Some may only allow up to 5MB to be uploaded, or just 1MB. Certain free web hosts are more lenient and allow for larger single files. The rate that your site can be accessed through a free web host is also something to consider.

If you want to build a large and fancy site, a paid web host is pretty much necessary. They offer a massive amount of options for users, and are much easier to work with and customize. A great reputation is an important factor for paid or commercial web hosts. Consider the number of users that are happy, and the uptime speeds as well. Its not recommended to use a web host that has an uptime speed of anything less than 99.5%.

If you have a small site, you should be able to purchase smaller packages through a good web host. A good web host will try to accommodate to a vast user base with different package sizes for everyone’s needs! If you run across problems with your site, you will want technical support. Since many companies do have tech support, but are closed on holidays or weekends, or after work hours, its important to find one that is open 24/7 365 a year.

All web hosts should be willing to answer your questions, if they ignore customer service emails, then that’s probably a bad sign. You will also want to look for a good host that can meet your needs for your site. If the host you have in mind cannot, you should find a different one. A good web host would be willing to refund you your money if you are unsatisfied, or if they mess something up on their part.

Closing Comments

Web hosts are important companies, and a great web host will offer you many options for customizing, and meeting all of your needs.
