There are a few things you should consider when
selecting a hosting company for your website.
Reliability
A good uptime. Your website shuld be accessible all
the time.
Speed
Your website should load fast. Average websurfer will
wait 8 seconds before leaving.
Compatibility
The Hosting Server must campatible with any
programming languages used on your site. Example: CGI, PHP, ASP ect..
(most are)
Cost
The web hosting must be affordable.
Service and Support
You will want service to help you get your site up and
running and support if something goes wrong.
More Information about the above below
Reliable Servers.
The single most important thing to consider is
"uptime". You want your website to be up and accessible 100% of the
time.
*Never settle for an unreliable host look
for 99% uptime.
In addition to losing customers that can not
access your website, you can also lose links from other sites if it
appears your site is gone. Links from other sites help your listings in
the search engines (main source of traffic for most websites). So
not only can you lose direct traffic from sites that link to you, hurt
also your search engine rankings. Even worst... if a search engine
spider/robot attempts to crawl and index your site while it is offline
(down) your site may be purged from the search engine results.
A Reliable
server should not just have a good uptime, but a good responce time. It is
very important for your website to load and function fast and
efficiently. Numberous studies have shown the average web surfer will
wait a mere 8 seconds for a webpage to load. Slow responding websites
lose many visitors and potential customers that impatient and click on
their browsers back button.
