With a good host, your website is available 99.9% of the time, loads rapidly, and has sufficient space and bandwidth.<br \/>\nPerhaps the most critical component of a good <a title=\"ehostpros hosting\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ehostpros.com\" target=\"_blank\">web hosting company<\/a> is their support.\u00a0 Test a prospective host, send them an e-mail question, or even call.\u00a0 If you do not get a response in under 12 hours for e-mail, or cannot get through to a support person on the phone, look elsewhere.\u00a0 You will have technical support issues sooner or later, and every minute you wait for help is a minute you are losing money. <br \/>\nSpace and bandwidth are important in your web host decision process.\u00a0 If you are doing a small e-commerce site, space is a minor issue unless you are hosting a large amount of video or pictures. A 10gp plan is a huge amount of hosting for a single website.\u00a0 New websites with little traffic also require little bandwidth.\u00a0 However, to make money, you will need some traffic, so make sure there is room to grow. Also, decide if you are hosting one domain or many.\u00a0 Hosting solutions often offer packages to support a single domain, or a single domain with add on domains.\u00a0 If you are likely to host additional websites, look for a plan that allows add on domains.<br \/>\nYou need to consider what additional hosting requirements you need.\u00a0 If you are running an e-commerce store, you will need PHP and MySQL as part of your hosting package.\u00a0 Anything beyond a simple html pages require those tools, such as WordPress or Joomla.\u00a0 If you are interested in great web tools such as WordPress, but lack any Unix experience, look for a program called Fantastico as part of the package.\u00a0 Fantastico makes installation of CMS systems simple.<br \/>\nFinally consider price. Basic shared hosting is inexpensive.\u00a0 At this point, you likely have no need of dedicated or shared servers, so stick with the inexpensive plans that meet your above requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing a good host is one of the most important decisions you will make about your online business.\u00a0 A poor host provides constant distractions, downtime, or content loss.
