Real Criteria For Selecting Website Hosting

Published Thursday, August 21, 2008 by bloggerblognet84084 | E-mail this post

Many people are getting into the website business these days. It seems like everybody wants a website for one reason or another. This is understandable. We are in an information revolution. Most of us instinctively go to the "net" when we want to find information about something. Maybe not so surprising, we usually find an excess of information on nearly any subject. We all seem to want to share information no matter whether it is personal, company info or technical knowledge that others can utilize.

It is quite easy to build a website today and there are limitless numbers of companies that offer website hosting. Some of those companies offer great service and some are not so good. There are many similarities in the packages being offered today and the choice may appear difficult. Although pricing should always be a factor, it should not be the main factor influencing your decision.

I personally believe that the number one issue to be concerned about should be customer support.

I don't care whether you are a seasoned veteran or a newbie publishing your first website, there will be a time when you require support from your hosting company.

Absolutely nothing is more frustrating than having an issue getting that new website up and running or troubleshooting a problem with an existing website when you can not get a response from your pleas from help from your hosting company.

Remember, if you have an issue at the hosting end that you can't resolve, your website is a "no-go" and any other efforts will be a waste until you get help.

It is not always a simple task to determine the quality of the support actually provided by a hosting company. My suggestion is to do considerable research and select a well established hosting company.

Bear in mind when you are reading the forums, nearly every company will have unhappy customers for a wide variety of reasons. When using forum feedback as a guideline, get a general feel from the majority of users and don't dwell on the minority posts by raving fanatics that frequent every line of business.

Send off a quick question to a potential hosting company and see how quickly they respond. If you fail to get a timely response from the get-go, don't expect things to get better beyond the point of signup.

Having spent so much time talking about customer support, I have not touched on actual hosting features. That may seem strange. Well actually in this day and age, the features are very similar but you should carefully compare those as well simply to ensure the hosting features you require will be provided. If you are going with an established company and you are new to the process, features will likely satisfy needs. Price and features can open up a whole new discussion but will not likely restrain the success of someone publishing a fresh new website.
