How to choose perfect Web hosting company ?

by Kk Sharma Web Developer

No two blog hosting sites are created alike. Companies work to cater for different audience needs and the features integrated into their platforms reflect this aspect. Whether you’re a beginner or a long-time blogger with an impressive following, apart from your content, the host you choose will determine the degree of success your website.


There are quite a few good hosting companies in the market today, and quite honestly, it can be quite overwhelming for a beginner. For the most part, sites will advertise their strong suit. If you don’t know what you’re looking for, it’s easy to fall for the most fluffed or for what someone you know or admire is using. Before settling for one, here are a few features to look for in an efficient blog hosting website.


Free vs. Paid


While they say good things in life are free, that doesn’t quite apply here- for the most part. A free blog will give you excellent service, but you’re likely to miss out on the best features of the hosting site. If you’re just starting out and are exploring your hobby, then by all means, get the free version.


However, for those wanting to expand or even start a business website with your custom domain name, get a selection of three or four companies to compare pricing. Before you settle, note that the cost is not a reflection of the superiority of the brand.


Features


A beginner will find a site requiring technical skill to build or customize off-putting. That is not to say the straightforward ones are best; some need time to learn how to navigate but are equally good. Some basics should be present; a free domain name, drag and drop website builders, stat tracker, and several free themes. There’s more to it.


Speed


A site should load in less than 2 seconds- any time after that and a user will exit the page in favor for another that loads faster. An online shopping survey done revealed 79% of buyers would not return to a site selling merchandise if it took long to load. More than fifty percent stated the high speeds increases their loyalty to a business.


Security


You want a secure site where your personal information doesn’t get stolen. It should also hold-up in case of high traffic and not cause a server shutdown. Worst still, you don’t want a hosting site prone to viruses. Paying for enhanced security features is well worth it especially for a business website. Buyers ought to have the ability to trust your site when making a purchase.


Tech support


How fast you can get assistance matters, especially if it’s urgent. For round-the-clock assistance, you may want to pay for the premium or one of the plans offered. It’s faster than filing a ticket and waiting for someone to fill it. Image yourself running one of the PR companies in the city of Toronto and during the streaming of a product launch, your site goes down. You need to get it back up and running within a few minutes at best.


Reviews


When selecting a hosting site, see what others have to say. Unbiased real reviews give you a full picture of what you’re getting into before committing. It should also give you multiple plugin options for added functionality.


Final thoughts


Some well-known sites on the internet are WordPress, Heroxhost, Blogger, Wix, etc
