Price

When it comes to evaluating on the basis of price, be sure to evaluate on more than price. Since most hosting companies are competitively priced and you will need to pay anything between $10-$15 a month, focus on finding out about company’s uptime record and customer service reputation which will eventually pay in the long run

Space:

This might not be an issue as most competitive hosting provider provide ample space. However, you must check if the hosting provider lets you scale up the space amount as you nears the limit or not?

Bandwidth:

Bandwidth is not a big concern for small projects. However, if you are expecting some heavy traffic on your website or you have some large files on your website, this will come as one of the major costs.

A hosting provider that is capable of providing all types of hosting including managed shared hosting, managed VPS hosting and managed dedicated hosting must be in the top in your evaluation list.

This is the first major filter through which you can evaluate the performance of hosting provider. Make sure the provider has good programming compatibility and supports you both in terms of front-end and database layers

Database Offering:

Most websites these days need a database backend. In order to evaluate the managed web hosting provider, make sure to note the type, size, version as well as accessibility of the database

Up-time:

You will always want maximum uptime for your website. While most competitive websites claim to offer an uptime of 99.9 percent, it is difficult to validate the uptime. The best way to judge this by reading the reviews of the hosting provider in a comparison website.

File Access:
