2. Check their Specialty

There are many hosting companies which only focus on only one thing and yet are not better than others. You may end up finding a company whose Dedicated and VPS are both great, but their shared hosting isn`t good. However, in some cases, the scenario is almost the reverse. First, you need to understand which type of hosting you need. If you have a small business or personal blog with (let`s say) moderate traffic, you should go for shared hosting and a company which specializes on share hosting is your best bet! Similarly, if your traffic can soar thousands of page views instantly, go for a VPS host which offers stupendous VPS hosting plans.

3. Learn about their Hardware infrastructure

You need to be aware of web host services which don`t describe their server infrastructure very well. What type of hardware is their server made up of and is there any top notch machines present in their grid system or not? The hardware infrastructure of a web host affects the affects your website`s performance and it weights on the performance on your host`s server performance as well. Therefore, you need to know everything about hardware infrastructure before you make your mind.

4. How much Disk Space they offer

This is the tricky part as most hosts promise “unlimited bandwidth and disk space. Did you ever imagine the disk which provides unlimited storage? Honestly, no website requires that much space! Unless you are planning to launch a new YouTube, there`s no way your website will be more than 1 GB disk storage. Therefore, your main interested should be bandwidth which unfortunately is unlimited.  As the hosting service will not tell you how much bandwidth your site has used or using, you need to ask the customer support to inform you about it. The online review of some web hosts will help you to find the reliability and speed of a hosting company and how much unlimited resources they provide as compared to their promises.

5. What about Technical Support

This should be your top priority as it’s the top feature everyone is looking for. If you happen to come close original user reviews, you will see that customers are out bursting about tech support. It’s important because if your website runs into a technical issue, you would be expecting the tech staff to help you out. Server downtime isn`t an option for businesses which depend on their internet presence!
