Not all web hosting plans are the same. Understand these few steps and do no longer get confused by providers. Justify and pick the web hosting plan that best suit your needs.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • computer
  • internet connection
  • your concentrations
  • your analytic skill
  • paper & pen (optional)
  1. Step 1

    First thing first, set some constant. Example, you want web hosting for 12 month, you prefer shared hosting and your want a Linux hosting. So you have 3 important constant here. The further hosting comparison shall be done apple to apple.

  2. Step 2

    Identify a web hosting provider. Don't bother about their flowery sale speech and search for the hosting features. Preferable solid information in table form. Refer your constant for which hosting specifications to be used(in case there are a few feature tables).

  3. Step 3

    Check their specifications. Check their 1)storage, 2)bandwidth, 3)how many domain allowed, 4)is there any useful software included (useful to yourself), 5)what are the customer supports available, 7)hosting performance, 6)pricing (for 12 months in this case). Jot down on your paper by building a table.

  4. Step 4

    Repeat step 3 for another web hosting provider. And when you are done, you will see a table full of data. Analyze it and pick the one with best performance yet with low price. You probably will not get the lowest price for the best performance hosting.

Tips & Warnings
  • Engage their "live chat" to test customer support.
  • Simulate a sign up process to check real pricing.
  • Do a hosting up time check to check hosting performance.
  • Hosting features and packages are not the same among hosting providers. Always check back your constant that you wish to have.
  • Always double confirm the specifications before signing up. Packages might changes.
