Web Hosting Review Guide


Why Web Hosting Reviews?

Web Hosting is fundamental to all websites; business sites or personal site. And not all web hosts are created equal. I have tried several in my many years on the Internet so I know this to be true.

The purpose of this site is to help sort the wheat from the chafe with the critical decision the lies ahead of you. The success of your enterprise (be it a business venture or a personal endeavor), depends on the quality of the service that you receive from the web host that you choose.

Here are some of the critical questions that you need to ask of any web hosting company.

  • Does the host that you are investigating have great support?
  • Will you have enough hard disk space for your needs?
  • Will you be allowed enough bandwidth for your needs?
  • Does your web host support all the features you want? You might have a requirement for scripts to run. Not all hosts allow all scripts?

It goes without saying that you want your host be reasonably priced. I am aware that some hosts are free too, but you need to be very careful with free hosts. They will not accommodate business sites and they will be very restrictive more most hosting needs. If you want anything except a single, simple web page, then steer clear of free hosts.

Let's investigate some of the points raised above a little more closely?

Web Hosting Support

Even the most reliable of web hosts will be called upon to offer support at some time. With the best will in the world, things go wrong occasionally, even with the best of web hosts. What is important is how quickly they respond when you put a call out.

I would be wary of anyone who only offers email support. Email can be unreliable, and with something as important as web hosting, you do not want your visitors to experience problems for longer than is humanly possible. Most professional web hosts will offer a free help ticketing system to allow you to contact them easily.

Equally, a web host needs to be available 24 hours a day. There is no guarantee that you live in the same country as your host, and keep the same working hours. What is important here is that no matter what the time is in the host's country, they respond quickly to your calls for help, no matter where you live.

In the nest section, we will discuss the use of web hosting resources such as bandwidth and disk space. We will give you some tips for assessing how much of each of these you will need and what they both are.
