The most important and difficult decision one has to make while starting an online business is to opt for the host plan, which meets the requirements and is within one’s budget. One can take the help of the search engines for searching the best plan. There are number of web hosting providers offering great packages. It is very difficult to choose best one among them
It is good to write down all the requirements by the customers and then choosing the package suiting one’s requirements and then only the chosen package will have its worth.
Following are the few aspects to be considered when choosing a web host.
It is very important to know how much space will be required and this can be done only after knowing that what kind of business one is running? Is he selling a single product? Showcasing a huge catalogue with lots of pictures? Or, maybe a membership website? Different types of businesses use different amounts of disk space. After he will require knowing all these information one can easily calculate how much space and then he can easily choose the package accordingly. This is very right that no one wants to pay extra for the space he would never use.
Data Transfer
Many hosting plans put a limit on the amount of data one can transfer. Data transfer is the amount of traffic flow from one’s site that includes images, banners, and file downloads, etc. If the user crosses the limit he have to pay extra for it, which results to be very expensive. At this point he will realize the worth of pre study of the requirements. Now he needs to do some homework i.e. to know what is the size of his page? Does he expect to have a lot of visitors? Does it involve transferring many files? If he does, then he surely needs a plan permitting plenty of data transfer.
Email Accounts
Now one should know how many email accounts will he need? One for his personal use and one for support, enquiries, sales etc. One should also have to consider which email package he will need, full Pops access, Web-based email or both?
Up-Time Guarantee
It will be favorable for the user not to accept anything less than 99.5% of uptime. Server downtime is like having a shop without electricity; In this case visitors will not be able to visit one’s site, and thus as a result it would lead to destruction of one’s sale and thereafter-entire business.
Support
User should be very sure while choosing a web host that it will provide excellent support. User can any time face the difficulty, so it is very necessary to choose one that can reply within 48 hours.
Tools and control panel
User should opt the host that provides a good control panel that is user friendly. This is very true that no one wants to waste time sending support tickets asking technical questions and waiting hours for a reply, right? Thus one should look out for tools like traffic monitors, statistics, web mail, file manager, etc.
Testimonials
User should give importance to what others are saying. Email those people to find out about server uptime and other features of the web host he is planning to use. However one needs to be very careful as some people complain more than praising one.
Price
One should always keep in mind that what one pay, is what he gets. If he gets it too cheap, chances are that the cost is cutting somewhere else. This can also happen that they are going to charge for additional services later on. So be careful!

Hi galaxyangel_mint,
The criteria you mentioned seem to apply only to
reliable paid hosting.
I don't know why you insist on free hosting service
because from the business point of view, they
don't provide reliable server to run your website,
even though you upgrade to become their paid users
later on.
When you face an urgent matter, they can't help
you instantly since they only provide email support.
But if you're building a personal website just to
share with your closed friends and family and not
using it as a business platform, then that probably
justifies your choice.
I personally would not recommend any free web hosting
service for my clients who run businesses because
they really stinks. I've used several of them when
I first started out, but they failed me.
Again, if you just want to build a non-profitable
website, any free hosting service will do the trick.
But if you intend to go into business, then I would
suggest you to go get a reliable paid hosting service
which is easy to use, navigate, has efficient web
tools and has faster loading time, as per your expectation.
You might want to refer to the website below which
I found pretty useful and helpful for those who
wanted to know which web hosting service works best
for them.
Best of luck!
Wisely
winninghosting.com is great. They are barebones like google was. They just focus on great service and have a super helpful staff. They know how to keep their costs way down but still have all the speed and great features you need so I always go with them and am always very pleased.
yahoo geocities is free (ads will be shown on your finished page)
if you're looking to pay… (no ads) 1&1 has really good prices for hosting & domains
godaddy claims to have good prices but I went with 1&1 for the hosting and domain deal.
Windows and Linux often use two different web server applications. Windows sites use the Windows IIS server, while nearly all Linux sites use Apache.
Linux sites focus on PHP, Perl and other open-source script languages for server side scripting. Windows-based sites use ,NET and ASP technologies. They might also offer support for PHP.
Linux sites offer MySQL as the database for backend content storage. Windows sites will probably offer SQL Server, though some offer the Windows versions of MySQL as well.
There shouldn't be any difference between the two if you use strict web standards in your HTML. However, you need to be aware of the fact that, since Dreamweaver is a Windows-only product, it may insert some non-standard things into your HTML. Frontpage also does this.
As long as you stick to accepted web standards and don't use any Windows-centric stuff in your site, you should have no problems with either one.
