Web hosting services are provided by many companies on the modern market (web host providers). With so many options to choose from, and due to specialists' terminology used in descriptions of what web host companies offer, the choice of a company which answers your needs can be difficult.

Here are a few facts and tips to help you.
All specialised terms are explained in a web hosting glossary

The above table gives details of several top of the market web host companies.
We ranked them according to our web host ranking system which is taking into account
what we know you are looking for:
  • Affordable web hosting package
  • Reliable web hosting company
  • Almost zero downtime
  • Fully featured hosting package
  • Low cost or FREE setup
  • Low cost or FREE domain names
In other words, the above companies are a good value for your money.
Web hosting reviews of every company mentioned above can be found on this web site.

Web hosting companies usually offer more than one webhosting package and their prices can vary considerably. The cheapest web hosts’ plans (note that the above table mentions prices for the cheapest web hosting packages only) are good value for money if you run a website for personal use, or for a small business. Go for more expensive packages if you have a bigger business because more expensive packages offer more webhosting features and applications for free, or at reduced rates. These can be:
  • Number of e-mails per one account
  • Free domain names for longer periods of time
  • Database packages
  • Website Creators
  • cPanel
  • Email forwarders
  • Forum software
  • eCommerce
  • CMS (Content Management Systems)
  • FTP software
  • Marketing tools (e.g. Google™ Webmaster Tools) and others
The latter will help you to promote your web site on Internet (on Google, Yahoo, MSN and other search engines).

So, we recommend you to look through our table and to choose a company which you think is best for you, but do visit a web site of the webhost of your choice (the links are provided in the table) for more details before you finally commit yourself.

* * *
The companies mentioned in the table quote their price in dollars, however they provide their service world wide. E.g., if you are outside the USA you can still use the American hosting company, and a USA company can actually be your cheapest option.

Below are the basic web host parameters and features. Make sure the web hosting company of your choice provides you with enough of:
  • Storage Disc Space
  • Data transfer (often called bandwidth)
  • Domains on one account
  • Subdomains on one account
  • Languages supported
  • Applications available
  • Number of e-mail addresses
  • % uptime
* * *
Have a look what the company offers you, e.g.:
  • Save money with annual prepay
  • "FREE Advertising Cash"
  • Money back guarantee
  • 24/7/365 support
  • FREE set up
  • FREE domain name(s)
* * *
Check what kind of guarantees do they offer If they're offering 99.9% guaranteed uptime, then you can be fairly confident that their servers really will be functional and online 99.9% of the time, otherwise you can ask for your money back.
* * *
Don't be pressurised into getting something you don't need. If they're offering a bigger, better server for more money, ask yourself: do you really need this?
* * *
Make sure you're choosing the right hosting plan, whether its shared hosting, reseller hosting, a dedicated server or simply free hosting.
* * *
You can usually have Windows Server or Linux. Think what you may want, especially if you intend to have a database like Microsoft SQLServer (a free version called MSDE is available) or MySQL. HTML will run on either, so will PHP but ASP, ASPX and most .NET programs will require Windows.
