How can a beginning Web Builder select a good Web Hosting Service from a Bad one. This decision of selecting your Web Site Host is very crucial to a beginners success as a Web Builder.

When selecting a Web Hosting Service you must know what you are going to need for your Web Site. This article will try to answer any questions you have about selecting the best Web Hosting for Beginners.

Stay away from FREE Web Hosting Services. They are ok if you want to put up pictures for your friends but if you are serious about starting a Business, stay away from them. Free Host Sites are not reliable enough for running a business.

Make a list of all the requirements you need for building a Web Site. This will determine the amount of Disk Storage and Bandwidth needed. Examples of needs would be to use lots of Images, Banners, Tables, number of pages and so on. By having this information, you can check the information provided by each Web Host.

Next consider the Reliable of the Hosting Service. Reliable should be your number one concern for picking a Hosting Service. How much time are they up and running? If they crash, do they have a good back up system? You get the picture.

See if the Hosting Company is secure. If the company is not secure, then anyone can download your information from your site, including your Social Security Number. Talk to them to see what they have.

Disk Space is the amount of data you can store on the Host Server. Also check their Bandwidth. I recommend selecting a Host that has unlimited Bandwidth or at least a Host that will let you upgrade at any time.

Decide on which type of server to use. There is Microsoft Server and Linux Server. I personally like Microsoft, because it is more compatible and flexible with more software. Both have its advantage and disadvantages. Also with Servers you will have to decide if your want a virtual dedicated server where you share your server with others or a fully dedicated server which is only for your use. Fully dedicated cost more.

Web Site Host Services use WYSIWUG which means (what you see is what you get), Website Creators or Editors which allow you to create a Web Site without knowing any HTML programming.

A good Web Hosting Service will have a e-mail service. The range is from one e-mail box to unlimited e-mail. If your budget allows, get the unlimited. If you are using a smaller e-mail box and your business grows, be sure to delete all unnecessary mail. If your box is full, you will lose incoming mail.

What kind of service does your Web Host Provide? This is especially important to the beginning Web Builder. I know you will have thousands of questions. Does your host have e-mail, live chat or 1800 number, and how long do they have you wait for an answer?

Web Site Hosting Fees will vary. From free up to $60.00 or higher a month. Remember two things. 1. You usually get what you pay for. 2. Something expensive does not mean it is the best. So average the price plus meeting your needs and that should help you determine the Host Server.

After selecting a couple of Web Hosting Sites, check Web Host details of each one. Talk to others who have used the Hosting Site. Find out what kind of Reputation they have and how long have they been in business. The longer they have been in business the better.
