What is the web hosting Criteria that I should be looking for ?

We have compiled a list of good web hosting criteria that you should look for when shopping for a host. Our web hosting criteria consists of the following elements:

• Control panel
• Disk Space
• Bandwidth
• Email Account
• Scripting language
• Database
• Customer service
• Popularity
• Reliability and speed

Choose the Best!

Each web site in our top 10 list is reviewed by the above web hosting criteria. We review each aspect of the company and let you know our thoughts. Many companies may excel in disk space and bandwidth, but may be lacking in customer service/ support. It is important to thoroughly read the in depth reviews to make sure your web hosting provider is well rounded.

Valuable Features:

The control panel is what allows you to build your site, update your site and submit your site. cPanel is by far the most popular control panel available. Many website hosting companies create their own control panels and it is important to see a demo, before making a final decision.

How much is too much?

Another important aspect of our web hosting criteria is disk space and bandwidth. If you have a basic website, you will need approximately 50 MB of disk space, but it is always better to project more disk space than you may need today. The same thing goes for bandwidth.

What to know about Email.

Email accounts are a necessary element and part of our suggested web hosting criteria. POP3 is the software required to check your mail from third party providers like outlook, netscape, yahoo and more.

Scripting. What's that?

Scripting language is a very important part of our web hosting criteria: As of December 2004, the latest version for Perl is 5.8.6 and for Php is 5.0.2.
