Choosing a good HostPoints to know a good Web-Hosts
Here are a few things I consider a good web-host to have. Also if you are considering starting a web-host these are some points you should breeze through.
•Professional Layout - It is very important for a web-host to have a great and easily navigable layout. •Support emails - This along with a help desk system is a must •Response time - This is one of the most decisive factors in choosing your Web-Host. I believe a good response time is anything between 4 hours, if its later then that I would not consider purchasing anything from them •Live Chat - This handy tool can help you bring immediate sales if you know how to use it. But Web-Hosts having ‘Live-Help offline' for most of the time would also not be in my To-Buy list •PageRank - No matter how good the site is, if it doesn't have a PageRank greater than 3, I'd just hit it close. •Language - The overall language used on the site would spell its level of professionalism to me. •Testimonials - Really essential to convince future buyers and also if I saw a testimonial of a site I visit, I would definitely consider this host. Another instant sale method!

What Makes For A Good Host?I've had to change web hosts a number of times. In fact, I spent most of this week changing from one host to another. Believe me, it is a major pain, although I have made sure that my site is always ready to move if necessary.
One thing I've become is very aware of the difference between a good host and a bad host. To put it simply (and obviously) a good host makes it easy for you to create and maintain your web site. A bad host gets in the way and makes you angry, unhappy and gives you an ulcer.
The key point to remember when evaluating hosts is the most important quality is responsiveness - of your site and support people. Your site should be up virtually all of the time (unfortunately computer crashes do happen but they should be rare and far between) and it must be fast. In addition, all good hosts react in a timely manner to support issues and questions. You can tell when a host is going bad from the failure of these key areas - unresponsive technical support, slow servers or constant downtime.
This article is intended as a kind of checklist - what is essential, essential if you need it, optional and not important at all? Look it over, then when you go to find a good host pull out the article and make sure it measures up.
