Congratulations!! You have successfully registered your domain name. Your next step is to choose a provider that will host your web pages for you. Without hosting no one will be able to view your pages on the net.

So what are the things you need to consider when choosing a web host?

  • Web Tools and Software: Do they provide FREE design templates, free ready to install tools and software to create and manage your website? Most hosting companies, when you buy hosting from them, should offer you free cpanel. Cpanel basically gives you access to several functions like checking email, File Management, Web Statistics and much more.
  • Support: Are they available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? Are they available by phone, or only by email? Do they have live support?
  • Cancellation: After you have subscribed, can you cancel anytime if you are not happy or satisfied with the service or product? Do they provide a 30 day money back guarantee?
  • Disk Space: How much disk space do you receive for your account?
  • Email: Does the web hosting include email (POP3) accounts and are these unlimited? Can you configure these emails in outlook?
  • Reliability: Do they make any guarantees about “Server uptime“. This is a guarantee that your site is 99.9% of the time online and wont run into any problems due to server problems of any sort.
