In this article, I mentioned a few warning signs that are to be considered. You should know that the price and allocations are not as important as the quality of service; If the budget is absolutely limited, the price may be a valid criterion, but if not, he should not receive a lot of credibility.

Value Added Services

Value Added Services

Hosting companies offer different value-added services to stand out from the competition. Sure, these are an advantage, but a common mistake customers make is choosing a host just because it offers many value-added services that will not be used anyway. Some of the really useful features are:

1. self-install script - self-installers will save time if you are going to install a forum, image gallery, the management system, etc. Installation procedures on an auto-installer script take seconds and can be performed by novices without the need to make difficult tasks usually associated with installations.

Do you really want your own domain name?

Do you really want your own domain name?

When you purchase a domain name with a website hosting package, make sure that the host will register the domain name under your name. It should normally be written in their FAQ, but if there is no such information, simply contact them. This will also give you the opportunity to check how fast their customer support team responds to inquiries.

In web hosting industry, the adage "you get what you pay for" is almost universally applicable.

There is always a possibility that some of those customers host illegal content. There are web hosts who have had their servers unplugged, resulting in their clients' websites going down. I'm sure you do not want to put your business at risk and have your site hosted on the same server with illegal pornography and software sites, to verify the acceptable use policy of the host to know, if the host takes care of what's hosted on their servers.

Downtime guarantee and service monitoring

Downtime guarantee and service monitoring

Having a personal website go down is a minor inconvenience; having a business website down is serious business. How much profit do you lose if your site has been down for a week? Long downtime can be very harmful for companies today who spend large amounts of money on advertising their websites. Essentially, there are two rules about the reliability that one should look:

1. You should check if there is an uptime guarantee offered. A true service-oriented provider will also give a money back guarantee, offering a discount or free service as compensation for downtime. Any company that avoids taking the responsibility will not put much effort in the service.
