The choice of hosting - a very important moment for the owner of the site. Stable working hosting - key to successful development of the site. If the site is temporarily unavailable or slow to load, its development and promotion becomes problematic.

I try several hosts, and today I will share with you their experiences on the choice of host.

Just want to say that an ideal host is not there. Your attitude towards a very remarkable hosting can drastically change within five minutes. To do this you need a little bit - illiterate action support, disable your account, blocking of sites, etc.

Another conclusion - a good host can not be cheap. Better not to take cheap hosting - miser pays twice, this saying can be very useful approach to buying hosting.

And another conclusion - do not keep all your eggs in one basket do not put all sites on a single host. If multiple sites, it is better to have multiple hosts, as one, and place it on all their sites. There is that. It is important to have a reserve, in which case quickly spread from one site to another hosting. With some hosts, try not to hammer their sites - even if there will always be free space to accommodate multiple sites.

To get started, you need to decide the hosting of the options you need. If you are migrating from another hosting site, then a panel of hosting you can find out information on the limits and the load on the server that your site has been created.

If you have a new website and you are just starting your way to the fantastic world of webmasters, in most cases you will have enough fare with minimal requirements.

If your site is working on engine in most cases will need to support hosting of PHP and MySQL. If your site is working on files, it is sufficient to support PHP. If your site - just a set of html pages, it will approach the minimum fare without the support of PHP.

Now most offer a free domain if you pay several months. That sounds tempting, but I am on this point once, and now will never take the free domains. The domain is registered to you, it feels wonderful. But if you want to change the hosting, you have to eventually pay for the domain in the double size.

So I register domains directly from the official registrars
Often, when describing the tariffs write “unlimited bandwidth”. The truth is that there is no unlimited bandwidth. As long as your sites are stacked in a frame - everything will be fine as soon exceed the limits - you will be asked to move to a more expensive fare.

There is still time - often write something like “7 virtual hosts” (this is the same as the number of sites) and 5 databases. If the number of databases is less than the number of sites, this means that if you have 7 pages in the engines (for example, 7 of blogs on Wordpress), then this fare fit only 5 sites (number of databases) - for each site on the engine needs its own database.

When you define the parameters of hosting that you need, you can proceed to the selection of suitable. I prefer to record those favorite, which meet the positive feedback. Moreover, the withdrawal revocation discord. Try to distinguish the responses to PR and heartfelt testimonials of users who actually have dealt with a hoster.

I also realized one thing - especially when you begin to look for hosting and read reviews about it, you meet the opposite information. Some of the hosting praise, and other abuse. Sometimes very difficult to identify - about any hosting you can find the positive and negative feedback. Therefore, now I collect information about hosting gradually, recording links in tabs - so easier to evaluate information.

By the way, if the hoster has no entries, then do not advise him to contact. Lack of feedback on the Internet said that the activities and as such the company did not.

Of course, some entries are promotional in nature, so I advise to first gather all available information on any hosting, to draw conclusions.
