Question  04-24-2018, 01:00 PM (This post was last modified: 04-27-2018, 09:40 AM by salt_.)
What should I look for in order to find the provider that suits me best? Of course security, but what else?

What exactly did you look at when you compared them with other providers? I mean, I want to be able to compare a few and see which one will work best for me.

Just the usual stuff like:
  • What is your budget?
  • What are you hosting?
  • What are your hosting needs?
  • How many sites and domains are you hosting?
  • Do you need Email?
  • Do the host do backups? or do you have to backup?
  • Good support is essential ie Live chat and phone support
  • How big is your site? 
  • What sort of web traffic you going to need?
  • Do you need VPS or dedicated hosting?
  • Good server reliability and up time
  • Full C Panel access? 
  • Host upgrade options available?
  • Do you need to run e-Commerce? or specific shopping cart software?
  • Do you need to run any scripts or 
  • Know your hosting account limits before you sign?

Thank you so much, your answer contained some good points I  forgot to go through! Smile When I did my own research, I found some other criteria that I should keep in mind . Like how much rights as an admin are they going to give me, or the boundaries they might set. Since my idea also includes online sales, I have to secure payments as well. Are you aware of providers that I should stay away from?
