Okay. So you've designed your website and want to publish it or you have every intention of designing but you need
to make plans for the hosting first. Whichever is the case, there are questions that need to be answered before you
choose a web host.

Hosting a website is like opening an office. Your site is actually an internet based office or home where friends
and visitors can visit, get to know you better or make business deals. So just like choosing a befitting home or
business environment, you need to choose a good web host for the success of your site.

Who is a web host? A web host is an individual or business organization that maintains a web server that runs 24/7,
365 days. They use special hardware and software applications that make information stored on their systems to be
accessible to the entire world via the internet. Web pages, documents and applications are stored in their computers
and can be viewed or downloaded by visitors.

So how do you choose a good host? There are thousands of hosting companies out there in the world. Many new ones are
opening daily, each with its own (often mouth watering) promises on what it can and cannot do. But before you pick
out one, stop!

Is it really the best for you?
What makes it good?
How are you sure their server up to the task?
Are they scammers?

Ask those questions. There are lots of bad hosts out there. Don't fall into their trap. Before you pay them you should
check out their offered services, read their terms of service and if possible, try their demo Control Panel. Most
good hosts have demo C Panels where you can test their features before buying.

Secondly, look for hosts who offer you unlimited or large amounts of bandwidth. That is the most important. Bandwidth
is the life blood of your site. If you exceed your monthly bandwidth, your site will become inaccessible for the rest
of the month.

Why is bandwidth important? Bandwidth is the calculation of the number of bytes downloaded by any visitor to your site.
For example, when visitor A watches a movie of 200MB uploaded on your site, he is actually using up 200MB of your
bandwidth to stream the movie. Bandwidth is so important that you can't do without it so choose a host that offers you
unlimited bandwidth. That way your site will always be open.

Third, we talk about space. Unless you plan to host a relatively small website you should look for a host that offers
you large amounts of space. Many hosts offer unlimited space but I must point out to you that there is nothing like unlimited
space. Based on the arguments of one of the pros in this forum (Afam4Eva) I have come to understand that you can never never get unlimited space. However hosts advertise unlimited space but actually provide limited space that can never never be exceeded by
you based on their calculation. They may give you 1TB of space knowing that there is no way on earth you can ever exceed that.

Another thing to go for is to use hosts that offer you additional domain hosting. Select a host that allows you to host
multiple domains on one account. This allows you to host as many websites you want without paying any extra cost! You
only need to register the domain name.

These are the most important features you need to check out. Additionally, make sure you choose a host that offers you
24 hour support so that if there's ever a problem you can be confident it will be taken care of immediately.

Extra features you need to check out are: MySQL Dtabases, E-Commerce features and critical Data Back up.

Good tips there. Keep it up.

I hope you know that those so-called unlimited bandwidth been offered are not actually unlimited. You're going to have problem with a shared hosting account if your website has a lot of visitors per day. If your websites gets loads of traffic then why not get a virtual private server(VPS).
