March 17, 2006, Newsletter Issue #24: Questions to Ask Your Web Hosting Provider

Tip of the Week

There are many things to consider when choosing a web hosting provider. Free web hosting is great for simple websites without much traffic and most free web hosting providers offer site building software online so you can create your site quickly. However, make sure you check out what web hosting resources your web host offers. If you have more than a few pages you’ll probably determine to pay a little each month for better quality service. How much time is the service guaranteed to be up? How much space do you need? Do they offer FTP support? Can you host your own domain or do they require you use a sub-domain? How many email addresses are offered? Do they offer services geared towards e-commerce web hosting or shopping cart software? Does the web hosting provider offer web stats? Are there setup fees? Is there a money-back guarantee? Just do a little homework before moving forward with any web hosting provider so you don’t waste time getting things set up only to discover the hosting service you selected doesn’t fit your needs.
