How much worth my web hosting service

Monday, 26 October 2009

If the term of web hosting means something to you at all, than you already have a web hosting provider or are looking for a new one. Before you choose a web hosting company for personal or business reason, you should know if your investment worth the money.

Web Hosting support

Reviewing a hosting company, what would you put on the first place? Support, price, service? All of these are important, but the primary is the support. Many companies have different kind of support, but how does it work? A good support should be online every day, 24/7 by phone call and email as well. The response time is also very important, because your problem need to be solved fast! Technicians should be friendly and educated to explain and manage you situation, and of course, to speak your language!

The next step is to look for hosting company features, if they can provide that service, what you need, or you should look elsewhere. Some basic things are really necessary for each hosting account like bandwidth amount, the number of domains that you can host or park on the account, the hosting space, free advertising or free designs, but you should look very carefully if the hosting company gives you the ability to put on your account ecommerce websites, blogs, forums, any cms scripts that require database and space.

Web hosting price

The last thing you should consider is the price for a monthly package. In most of the cases, you can buy a hosting service for minimum 6 or 12 months. If you buy for more years, the cost per month could be very different between 12 month plan and 36 month plan. We don’t suggest you to get the cheapest web hosting, or the most expensive. You should search for the hosing plan that satisfy your needs and is affordable. If you don’t need extra options just let them, and why should you pay for what you don’t need. Be careful who you make business with and keep in mind you get what you pay for.

In summary we want to remember that the web hosting service is changing time to time, and if you get a better hosting with more features for lower price, and they have a good customer feedback, don’t be afraid to change your hosting company if you have to.
