How should I compare Web hosts?

How to conduct a comparison

The following merits should be included when you compare Web hosts:

• Reliability/uptime – how often do the servers go down for maintenance or because of problems?
• Price – how much does it cost to have a website hosted? Are there extra charges for more features?
• Backups – does the company perform backups of your data? If not, do they at least tell you how to back it up yourself?
• Customer service – are they available via phone and email? Do they have a physical address? Are they available for questions 24/7?

Uses these guidelines to compare Web hosts, and you’ll be well on your way to finding the best Web host out there for your specific needs.
