“Choosing the right web hosting company”
Before choose the right web hosting service provider, it is very important to get the right mindset first. You must consider them as your “partner” and therefore you will want them to have good reputation, stability and great customer services.
Below are the 5 factors you should take into consideration when choosing a web hosting service provider:
1. Reputation
Do your own research, find more information and reviews from whichever forums you can find on the Internet so that you know more about the company you are about to host your website and emails with them. You want to make sure none of the below turning into a problem.
2. Stability
This is the biggest problem where the server kept having down-time affecting your daily operations. Understand that no company will guarantee 100% up-time (normally 99.9%). It is common to occur in shared hosting especially when some web hosting company decided to be greedy by stuffing too many website into a single server. You will send support “tickets” to request for assistance. Unfortunately by the time you get a respond, it is most likely your website is already back online and the common reply is “your website is accessible now”, this cycle goes on forever. So server stability is the most important factor to consider when choosing the right service provider for your company.
3. Speed
No doubt that server speed is important especially today where the attention span of a person is shorter than before. It’s not wrong either with such demand, after all our time in this life is not long so every second counts! Remember the scene in Captain Marvel (2019) where they insert the CD into the desktop to listen to the CD content, it takes decades to load. If your website takes that long to load, you most likely lose the potential sales. Today, web content is heavier than before with more images (and high-quality images). So speed is an important factor to consider when choosing the right web hosting service provider for your company.
4. Customer Service and support
When you have a down-time or if you encountered issue with the server, you want to resolve the issue as soon as you can. The web hosting service provider must be reachable. You should choose provider who has channels or multiple channel that enable you to reach them easily and you want them to respond to your inquiry within seconds. You also want them to be competent and able to investigate and resolve the issues you raised. You can always test their respond speed by sending inquiry about their package.
5. Security
This is one of the most important factor to consider when choosing a web hosting company. Fortunately, almost all the reputable service provider have security tools in placed and comply with the industry standards. Of course, you will not know whether the security tools they used is the best if you are not from the industry. Server companies usually share some of the the tools information on their website. Therefore, you are advised to do your own research to learn more before choosing a provider.
