How To Pick A Web Host

I've been visiting a lot of forums over the years and I have notice that there are two questions that often come up.

What is better a free web host or a paid one and which web host is the best? I have had both paid and free. I can tell you that a free host is definitely not the way to go unless you absolutely have no money. A free web host puts ads on your web page that are most likely not even related. They also make your page look busy and junkie. As for which web host is best, when asked that question in a forum you will get a variety of answers. Everyone has their opinion about their favorite web host. It is good to listen to what they have to say but in the end you have to pick the web host that best suits your needs. When I first started out I picked a host that was very popular and expensive. It was an excellent web host as it had everything and then some. That is why I cancelled. It was too expensive and a little confusing. I chose a different web host with a simple plan and have not regretted it to this day. I started up with the cheapest plan and as my business grew I upgraded.

Here are the features you should look for when choosing a web host.

1. Multiple plans(so you can upgrade as needed)

2. Tech support either online or by phone.

3. Money back guarantee

4. Disk space----500mb to10gb

5. Bandwidth----50gb to 500gb

6. SQL---MySQL-5 databases to an unlimited amount

7. PHP---PHP 5 or higher

8. Add on domains---5 domains to 25 domains

9. Os Linux or Windows

10. Control Panel----Cpanel

If you don't know what some of these features are you can go to DiscovercPanel.com to learn what they mean and why you need them.
