Choosing a web hosting company - what to consider

[[Tsohost] Darren]

Darren, that is a fantastic offer, tell us a bit more about your company, how long have you been providing hosting services?

Hi Temi, I was recommended to this forum by someone over at webhostchat.co.uk We've been in business for 5 years now, and have established a pretty good reputation all round.

I'm not sure what you meant by "offer" though!?
Eleventy billion gigabytes is something we don't do.

Thanks for that info, 5 years is a reasonable time in hosting industry, welcome to UK WW

Considerations for websites includes capacity, you should determine how big your system would be and you should also include archiving on it. Next, you need to think of the tools you have used with your system including databases or some other repository system. Next, the time period your system will be running. You should also consider such systems requirements like the operating system to be use, the browser and some other programs.

Choose a good hosting company which is older in this hosting business. Choose the package which suits your budget and requirements.
Just make sure their support level is decent and they're proficient to meet your both current and future needs.

The most important factor when choosing a hosting company is the location of their servers. You need to choose one who's servers reside in your target market.

One of the major thing i have noticed about web hosting companies is that when a customer is completely satisfied with the service they don't tend to put a review of that company on the web hosting directories or review sites and if they are not satisfied they will write lots of things without forgetting. Due to this people get misunderstood about the actual service of that company and they go somewhere else. If you found some reviews bad about a company it doesn't mean that the company has bad reputation or is don't provide good service.

Rival companies do these types of things to get more sales.

I migrated from 123 reg to Peartree as 123 has a lousy control panel plus you have to pay extra to run scripts. I made the decision based on a few user reviews i could find and one in paticular from webdesign forum uk.

So far the support from Peartree has been supurb but i can't help wondering whether i should have investigated furthur as it seems the only person there is Rob. Rob is company director but he is also the support guy and everything in between.

Does anyone here have an account/experience they would like to share?
