With the wide range of choices in today’s market, getting the right hosting provider for your needs can be a tricky task. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when shopping around.
Will you be hosting more than one site?
Choose a plan where you can host unlimited domains. There is no point in paying $5.00 per site when you can host all for less than $10.00. Also go for unlimited MySQL databases, since configuring multiple scripts to run on the same database can sometimes be difficult.
Storage and bandwidth caps
Whether you are hosting a personal blog or a huge portal, bandwidth and storage limitations are issues to be taken into account. You can never know when you will get a huge spike in traffic and go over the allotted limit. As a side note, unmetered hosting usually comes with a fair use policy. If you anticipate massive amounts of traffic, you should consider purchasing a VPS or a dedicated server.
Terms and conditions
Make sure you read the terms of the hosting company before purchasing a plan. There are servers where certain content types (like proxies or adult material) are prohibited.
