1.Reliability
There are many web hosts and the average user would find it difficult to get an unbiased idea of the best place to host their site. Large hosting companies provide a cheap service, but the disadvantage is that the customer is lost in the crowd and no one is actually looking after their particular web site. This leads to poor reliability of service, and many times their servers are easily hacked so the customer ends up paying a great deal in the long run, while benefiting from lower costs in the short-term.
2.Customer Support
This is something that many newbies to web hosting do not give sufficient importance to. Most of the time things are fine. However, when something has gone wrong, and it definitely will, that is when expert support becomes crucial. Most large web hosting companies hire an overseas team that can only answer specific questions because the are given a frequently asked question and answer sheet. Anything that does not correspond to their Q&A answer sheets is beyond their ability to help with. That is why you will find only cut-and-paste answers to your questions. It is best likened to visiting a doctor when you are seriously ill. When you are fine, you dont need a doctor, but when you are ill you really want the best doctor you can afford. Why go cheap or with a large company who is more hype than hyper and risk your online business?
3.Control of the data/content
A professional web hosting company gives its clients total access to what they post and what it looks like. This is different from any third-party service that offers web hosting for free. With free services, website owners can not control some aspects of their website. With pro hosting the website owner has no restrictions on the amount of data or the number of web pages that their website can have.
