What makes you go with a host? - Host Discussion Blog

Hi,

I was curious, what specifically do you look for when you are looking to purchase hosting? I know Geek Certified has its own list of things to look for, but I am curious to see what people actually look for.

Thanks,

Hi,
Reviews, recommendations from people you know/trust when it comes to
these issues. Prices and features are also something I would look for.
Just don't go for a free host.. no matter how good it seems.

I personally suggest the Support should be considered the key factor which can influence the buyer, it is also recommended to check their connectivity as well. I suggest to go for free trial or drop a ticket to check their response.Price should be secondary since your business depends upon good support and service and good connectivity your 1st priority should revolve on this.
Well most of the people look for support, good 24/7 tech support, good services and secondly price depending on plans and features offered.

Most web host nowadays are very generous with disk storage and other web hosting features. I'll check for their support to see how fast they respond, and also their server uptime.
