Web hosting - Secrets of Finding a Reliable Host

So, you have decided to move on to a new host as your old host went into deep sleep and did not return. What else could you do but to search for some new space? As an web publisher I can feel your frustration, anxiety and agony when your hosting server is down all of a sudden without any prior notice. Not only that you are bound to loose business, this may ruin your reputation and credibility as well. So, you need to take precaution before selecting your new host. I had similar bitter experience in the past. My experience with web hosts became my nightmare. But now I have chalked out a plan to cross-check the credibility of my hosts. So, it is not that easy to trap me with some great hosting offers which otherwise look lucrative. I'll just share with you the most important factors you must consider before choosing your new host. 1) Years in business: The first thing you must look at your host is how long they are in hosting industry. It carries a lot. Years of presence in any trade is extremely important and particularly in hosting, it is the first and foremost condition you should consider. To get an estimate of the experience of your host, simply make a Whois lookup! - You will get all the necessary information like Contact Name, Address, Contact Email and Domain Name Registration/Renewal details. If you find virtually unrealistic data - you should not trust that host. Once you are convinced with Whois data - go for the next round of check up. 2)Read reviews - You can simply search the internet to read reviews of that host. If they are in the business for quite sometime, you are bound to get some reviews. You can also look for reviews at different review sites. While reading reviews at review sites - always keep it in your mind that those reviews might be inspired by Affiliate Commission. Reading reviews to learn about your new host is great way, still, we'll move on to do some more cross-check. 3)Support - If you are really serious about your website, you need to go with a hosting company who provides excellent support, both in terms of fast response and also in terms of their knowledge. The best way to check it out yourself is to contact their support wing. Keep a sharp watch about the response time and quality of their reply. Allowable response time varies a lot depending upon the type of site you run. For a high-traffic site, you need to have a much faster response from the support wing. If both the response time and response quality are satisfactory, and their plan features fulfill your requirements, you can move on to look for a final round of check up. 4)Monitor uptime - You can request your host to let you know few sites hosted by them and try and monitor the uptime records for those sites. You can also check the past uptime records of that host. 5)Payment Options - Even when you are too satisfied with the credibility of your new host, I'll never recommend you to pay for one full year in advance to get some gross rebate. It is better to try with them for two to three months and then only consider for a long term contract. 6)Special Offers- If you are otherwise satisfied, you can search for special offers like 30 days money back guarantee or one month free trial hosing offers. 7)Take part in hosting community - The best way to avoid bitter hosting experience is to get in touch with a hosting community, where you can be well aware of the changes or updates in respect of different hosts, and when you need a new host, you can find the one from within your community, whom you know better and whom you can rely upon. My final word again, while searching for a new host, keep your options open and do not take a decision in a hurry. otherwise, you may have to initiate another host search within a very short span.
