How To Pick The Perfect Web Host

By Timothy Phelucci


Building your new web venture can be a scary process, especially if you haven't ever built even a single website before now. Doing a project all by yourself is really scary. It can even be a risky adventure! Be careful not to reveal too much about yourself, especially in the beginning and take care to make sure that your personal information is protected. Joining a well known and respected web hosting company is one of the best things that you can do for yourself when you start your project. But how do you know which hosting company is the best?

You should already know that the process you use to choose your hosting company is not all that different than the process you use to choose between other things in your every day offline life. Choosing new items for yourself is pretty much the same on and offline. Here are some things that you should keep in mind.

If you are uncomfortable with doing your own FTP, you should choose a company that will allow you to use their web based services. If, on the other hand, you require 100% control over your files and transfers, you will want to choose a hosting package that allows you to use outside software and applications for your FTP needs. Will your website stand by itself or will it end up being part of a bigger network that you plan to build? If you only want to build a single site you have plenty of cheap options available to you. If you want to build a network of sites you should choose hosting that will allow you to put several domain names on your server space. Some hosting providers place strict limits on the domain names an account is allowed to have. The more complicated your project is, the more complicated your hosting needs will be. Your priority should be finding hosting that will meet your needs without charging you exorbitant rates to do so.

Try out the companies used by the site developers that you admire. It is easy to fake a good review on a website so if you want to get information that you can trust, ask your site developer friends which hosting company they like best. Most website developers are happy to help newcomers figure out which hosting options are best. You might even be able to use some of the site owner's server space to give it a try while you figure out which hosting service is right for you. Lots of site owners earn extra money by selling space on their server accounts. To buy server space for a good price (on someone else's account) ask your site builder friends for good deals.

Finding the best hosting provider for your project is easy when you take a few steps to narrow down your choices. Taking the time to do your research and thoroughly plan your project will ensure that you get the hosting you need for the price you want. Looking over your options and asking every question that you can think of is a great idea. You'll be glad you did.
