Lightbulb How to choose a Host. A few simple steps, feel free to add to it.

Here are some simple steps in choosing a host.

1. Do your research here and on the internet to find a host that works for you.

2. Every host has had some problems, but that doesn't make them bad.

3. If you find a host that's too good to be true, it probably is. Just remember this, you get what you pay for.

4. There's no such thing as unlimited bandwidth and storage space, so don't waste your time with hosts that offer this.

5. Once you find a host ask questions to see if they fit your needs, and see how long it takes for them to respond.

6. Go with a host that has a 30 day money back gaurantee.

7. I have nothing agains't one year hosting payments up front, but if you're starting out it's better to pay monthly.

This how-to was inspired by watchdog's post, with contributions from idologic_dh, eliquid, Techark, Dennis, and others.

it's true, but - don't pay for a year in a hosting because you can close your site after a month. also, you need to see reviews about the host you buy - try to search in google the company name.

Well just because you close your site does'nt mean you can't still use the hosting.

Great tips! These will definitely help someone trying to find the right host.

Good information. As you said sometimes hosts can be a real pain. I had some problem with a host that even didn't answered to my questions.

I want to add a thing- always check the past record of the company u host on. if company is new, better stay away from it. coz companies fail mostly in first 6 months of their operation.
best is to pay monthly.

Nice tips. I personally would go with reliability even if their prices are a bit higher. Down times are a drag and it equals lost sales opportunity.
