How to Select Web Hosting

Beware of Unscrupulous Fly By Night Hosting Companies

Rather than arguing whether such entities exist in hosting business or not, one must be careful and make sure that they get the best long term service at the best price.Some of the Tells of not so top notch hosting operations are as below. Once you see these signs, that should be a red flag. Either keep searching for another host or at least investigate deeper into the company  before hiring them for hosting your website.:

No contact info (telephone, email, etc.)
Some hosts simply make it impossible to contact them by any means possible. Call your web host, simply having only a email address maybe a sign of a fly-by-night operation.

Long term contracts only
While cheaper plans may warrant an annual only plan, some hosts provide annual service exclusively. There is no guarantee that even though you have paid them for 12 months that you will get 12 months of service. Avoid long term contracts greater than 12 months of service.

Domain name registration in the web host's name
Some hosts offer to register your domain for you, legally register the domain in their own name! Therefore, if you try moving off, you will lose the domain because it was done in their name.

No Money Back Guarantee
Most respectable host offers a money back guarantee (30 day minimum)

Complicated uptime warranty
Some hosts hide behind their Terms of Service with complicated uptime guarantees such as the customer must report the downtime.

After you have satisfied yourself with the issues above, you might want to consider the cost of the plan from amongst the most qualified hosts for your website. After all, you are going to need money to run your website and if you can't afford a plan or a host, what good is it. Click Here to Choose your top of the line Hosting Service
