Hi,

Choosing the right host is a very important decision. I've tried to covered all basic things which we have to consider while selecting a web host.
# UNLIMITED features : Rarely trust companies that offer unlimited space/bandwidth etc. as this is blatant overselling. When was the last time you saw an unlimited hard drive?!
# Free hosting : Be wary of free hosts, particularly ones that seem to be giving far too good a deal to you - they probably are.
# Your ACTUAL needs : You might be excited by hosts that offer 5GB of storage space and 1000GB (1TB) of bandwidth for very low prices, but you should at the very least be wary of such companies. Besides the con issue, ask yourself - do you even need such large resources?
# Do your research : It's very important to do adequate resource on whichever host you choose: don't just take their word for everything. Check what the technology experts are saying on the issue (e.g. look through reputable technology magazines for reviews).
# When your needs outweight most plans : If you've outgrown your current plan and you are using very large resource amounts, it may be time to think about renting out a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or a Dedicated Server.

There are reliable companies with unlimited offers. With the expansion of the infrastructure facilities it is possible for a host provider to have unmetered plans.

Among those basic considerations, our actual needs and own research about that are more important. If you have no idea about technologies then it is better to have someone's help who is expert in that. Personally, I want you to make sure whether the web host provides better customer support or not.
But, I totally agree with all you said to consider while choosing a web host.

Don’t cut yourself short on disk space and data transfer (bandwidth/traffic) when picking a plan. Most websites consume a very small amount of disk space, but you should allow room for growth, and space for email storage. Investigate if the host provides warning emails as you approach critical limits and ensure they won’t surprise you with excess fees for exceeding your monthly bandwidth traffic allowance.

One can surely roll his or her computer into a web server as soon as it is decided but the idea of entrusting a dedicated person (for this job) with this job is often a better and reasonable one. It requires you to pay that person but it is ideal if the person does it in a reliable manner.

Great post! It's actually nice to see something, sometimes it's hard to explain to my clients why not offer unlimited bandwidth and space as some other places.

If you are looking for a web hosting provider to host your website or blog, there are several features that you should consider before purchasing the cheapest package you can find.
Important tips when choosing a web host are as under:
1. Check how much web space amount it occupy?
2. It should have FTP access.
3. It's access should be speedy and reliable.

Seek good customer service with lots of help pages and FAQ pages, 24/7 telephone support preferably toll free, 24-48 hours reply email support or chat is vital. Avoid a host that has a reputation for poor quality customer service. Check out their average response time and their true uptime guarantee.

nice conversation but I think it is by luck you can get a good web hosting company. Any way every person has their own choices.

Hello,
I think the first thing you should keep in mind while choosing a web hosting service is your website or business needs and then the budget you set for your hosting services. By properly defining these two things you can find the best hosting service for your website.

Like most things, making a decision on which web hosting company to choose can be tough. With all the companies out there each promising to have 99% uptime, unlimited resources, and knowledgeable support, there has to be a way to cut through the jargon and make an informed decision.

Availability
Availability is the technical term used in the industry for reliability and what you need to look for is a web host that can offer high availability. In other words, they will guarantee that your website will stay online and won’t fail due to errors with their servers or be taken offline for long periods during maintenance.
The industry standard for availability is 99.5% but this still equates to your website being offline for over 3 hours every month. Ideally, you want a high availability provider that can offer uptime of 99.95% and higher. At eUKhost, we offer this level for our shared hosting whilst offering 100% uptime for our business packages, VPS and dedicated servers, and cloud hosting.
Choosing a high availability host is essential if you want your website and business to have a reputation for reliability. It helps your customers trust you and guarantees that your site is always there to generate income and maintain the services you offer your customers.
