How important is a good Hosting service?

Go back to Advice

Once you have invested your hard earned money into developing your fantastic new Web solution, it is very important to find a Hosting provider that's right for your business.

Many Hosting Companies have gone out of business over the Years and this causes an absolute nightmare for their customers - most of whom have lost everything they've built.  You can find plenty of Horror stories published to the Web by businesses that have been affected in this manner.

If you value your business, then you should not be searching for a Host that is cheap, as you may encounter technical problems, suffer down-time, or receive poor/no support going forward.  The last thing you should be doing is constantly moving your Website from one Host to another because the previous Host gave you problems.  If you do your research up-front, you should avoid these problems and be trouble free for many years.

In our opinion:

• Support is the single most important factor when deciding on a Host

• Stability/uptime - This directly affects the amount of time your Website is operational and an uptime of around 99.5% is considered reliable in the industry as there are external factors which may be beyond the control of the provider

• Cost should be considered depending on the purpose of the Website for example, if you sell on-line via an E-Commerce solution, then you may need a high level of support and certain features installed on the server.  With this in mind, a cheap solution may not be a wise choice and if the Server goes down, your out of business for the duration.  On the other hand, if you only have a small Website and small budget, you may wish to compromise on support and find a cheaper provider which is acceptable in some cases
