- Budget - You need to make sure that the hosting plan you choose fits in with your budget. There are hosting plans for only a few dollars and many offer a cheaper first month. If you have a large business website you may need to spend more than a small family website, which could possibly be hosted for free, if you are willing to the hosting company post ads on your site.
- Uptime - What is the point of having a website if it isn't up and functioning for people to see? Make sure the hosting company you choose guarantees 99% uptime. You should also check reviews online to ensure that customers are actually experiencing good uptime. Don't just take the web hosting companies word for it.
- Customer Service - I have read some terrible reviews of web hosting companies customer service. You need friendly and helpful service 24/7. This will ensure you can set up your site quickly and easily and iron out any problems. You should also ensure that the site provides virus and hacker protection.
- Control Panel - You want the hosting process to be easy as pie. It can be if your hosting company provides an easy to use interface. This will mean that you can upload files easily and can manage your website easily.
