Web hosting market is very competitve and people look for best hosting provider and cheap web hosting for which they do hosting companies comparison to host webpage or website. The market is so competitive that the if you purchase a hosting package for one year some reliable hosting companies will even give you a couple of months for free on purchase of a one year package. In choosing a host for your site few things are the key and should always be considered. First of all ask yourself a question and that is how important is the website which you are going to host. How important is its data ?

What would you do in case the server is down ? How much revenue will you lose in case of a power outage? What would happen if the server on which you data is present gets hacked ? What would happen in case of catestrophy of storm or hurricane or Sonami etc
Once you answer these question in your mind then you can obvisouly start your search from there. There are some hosts out there which will offer you very cheap web hosting but the cost of it will unreliability and lots of websites hosted on the server and this would result in the performance being compromised.

Some host offers live telephonic support while other only give you email support. Some offers 24 hours support and while other only offer business timings support. Some hosts have their own data centers while other use data centers of other companies.
If a host have too many people on a relative weak server than your site is at a risk of going down all the time specially busy times.
So if yours is a business website which needs to be up all the time with proper backup taken every evening you have to sign up with a host which is reliable and based in a datacenter which is safe and have back up power supply available at all times.


Also there is a new concept emerging now a days and that is cloud computing . You are allocated resource in the servers rather than a physical thing. This concept is becoming more and more popular now. Also web hosting is not just used for hosting websites. Hosting is used for for hosting large enterprise applications. Reason is that some organizations does not like to keep and upgrade hardware all the time. They thus purchase resources at data centers and their people uses that computers on their dumb terminals.


So if you want to choose best hosting provider remember these things. Also you must consider to host in a country you live. For exmaple if you live in USA you must choose a host based in USA and whose datacenter is located in America to avoid routing delay. This would save your time and the time of people who are browsing you website. They will get advantage and will access it very fast if the datacenter is near a location which they are physically at.
