 Web Hosting companies are too common now. With many small and large companies coming in here and there, it is really hard to find a decent one with good prices and most important of all, good support. The market is full of hosting companies that are both good and bad (in some cases) and they also oversell a lot now. But the point is, that many look for very cheap hosting and forget to check many things such as support, server specs, and what the package actually includes. With much information about that you will be able to choose the right host you need.
Security
It is no doubt that many hosting companies have many server restricted a lot mainly because there is a lot of spammers, hackers, exploits, and a lot more going around. Security is very important to your website. For example, some CMS (Content Management Systems) such as Joomla or Mambo require that you have PHP Register Globals Off, but if your host has it on, then you run a huge potential security risk. It can allow many exploits to be used against your system, as well as have many spammers get through if your system becomes compromised. Check your hosting and recommended security settings of the script or CMS you are running on.
Support
Believe me when I say that support is really important to your website as well as the up-time it has. Support is really important when your website crashes or is even hacked. If support is not around, then you will face rough times trying to fix it yourself if you aren't a big geek of computers and programming. Popular hosting companies are really good at support, but many (like 70-80%) of today's hosting companies really stick at support. I will name a few great hosting companies at the end to show you which I have had great experiences with.
Affordability
Every webmaster doesn't have hundreds of dollars to spend at first (unless you're rich, lol), many of us need good prices and something worth for our money. What I noticed a lot of times is that when you buy a package online, then you dislike it for the first few days and want to cancel, the most hosting company always tries to spam you with a "better deal". Such as a dedicated server upgrade from a shared hosting which also upgrades your payments from $4 to $100+.
These are major important factors for your website to survive. With exploits, viruses, and hackers running around the internet, there's no telling when one might hit your website. A company that I have been hosted for a very long time has been my only choice now is called TopHostingCenter, why? They have everything I needed as a webmaster and they will have everything you need too for your website to be up and running without any problems. Good support, good sever security, for good prices that are mainly unbeatable and matchable by them as well as a free dedicated IP so you won't have to share unlike HostDime, HostGator and other companies like that. I have not posted links or any hidden links for me to receive credit for referrals, because when it comes to your security and website, this is serious.
