How do I chose a web hosting company
| Choosing a web host can be a difficult and time-consuming activity. Something which ought to be fairly straight-forward can turn out to be quite tricky. Typically web site hosting is sold with two major parameters: web space and bandwidth (also more correctly known as data transfer). Web space is the amount of disk space available for your web site files, but you also need to allow some space for log files, online statistics, email and databases. Data transfer is how many bytes of data visitors to your web site are able to download per month. Disk space and data transfer are not the only considerations. You should also consider email facilities, whether there is webmail available, or just POP3 access to you email. Whether an SMTP server is available for sending emails. How you can access their technical support. Some provide 24/7 telephone support whilst others provide support via email only.
