Your web host makes your site available to viewers by providing you site with a designated space on the worldwide web. Choosing the best web hosting company for your needs is one of the most important decisions you must make when building a blog or website. With the proliferation of web hosting companies in the market today, prospective e clients are encouraged to research providers and be wary of promises and monthly fees that seem to good to be true. Be prepared to be bombarded by a diverse array of plans, programs and prices. Because so much sensitive and confidential information is exchanged over the Internet, security is a priority. When searching for a reputable web host, question what assurances they provide to keep all your blog or website data safe and secure from hackers that would use the information for fraudulent gain. The most dependable web hosts offer 24/7 customer service and targeted technical support. Technical issues or “glitches� can happen with any host and at time. The most important consideration is not the problem itself, but rather how quickly the problem is corrected. If you site runs slowly or fails to open, you want the issue corrected immediately. If you have to wait until regular business hours, you may loose customers and revenue. Read unbiased customer reviews. If a web host company has consistent problems, customers will post complaints. Look for a company with few negative comments and a proven record of dependable service. A Google search will locate a wealth of web hosting companies: all trying to attract


your business. Compare prices, features and plans to find a host that offers all the services you require.
