    Other important questions to ask!!

    1. What is the host company's bandwidth to/from their datacenter? Do they have a backup bandwidth provider or two? What OC bandwidth level are they providing services at?

    2. What is their CPU usage limit? What is their policy on notifying the owner of the site when CPU usage is reaching the limit? What is their policy on reviewing the source of the cpu overusage? If its just geneneral popularity as evidenced by the logs will they shut you down? Is CPU usage limit stated in the contract anywhere?? 1 or 2% is very low and means they are overselling their servers.

    3. Ask the host how they prevent and limit overselling and how can they prove it to you?

    4. How often do they backup their servers??!!!

    5. What plug-ins and widgets do they support? Do they have Fantastico?

    Thanks for the lovely tips. Makes life so simple for users to see what webhosts to decide. I am researching a lot on choosing one so will ping on this forum for my needs. Currently I am with awardspace and it works pretty well for me except that I miss email functionality which is very much required for a site/forum I run.

    A little tip from experience...if you are looking at web hosting companies, I suggest that you consider looking for hosting companies that allow adult content. No matter what the content of your site is, if they allow adult content, as a general rule they are much more able to handle any other type of site. There are many viable options for less than $10/mo out there that could get you on the right path. PM me if you need suggestions.

    Very glad to see this still gets a read once in a while.

    Well Sam you are correct, it does state the obvious. There are so many people out there more than ever today that are new to hosting. There are also many new hosts that have flooded the market place, not to say that is bad but we can only hope this little guide helps people in their search for a solid web host.

    When choosing a web host it's of course important to consider. Its depends on many factors. such as....
    1. Where is the host server located?
    2. What kind of connection to the internet does it have?
    3. What ISP the customer has.
    4. Where is the ISP's servers located
    5. Which server would the customer connect to from the ISP. etc....

    If they have support chat it helps a lot and this is also very important and you should consult with an agent before place your order also make speed test and if possible ask for an IP address and check all that you need before to chose.

    My tip is to look whether the webhost designed their own site or brought a template.
