The network lacks information on how to choose paid or free hosting service. Each hosting company offers tips for novice users, who have no experience. It would seem more than enough information, but then why users are constantly asking the same questions?
Today, I would like to offer you a few basic rules of choosing a hosting. It’s about what can not be ignored under any circumstances.
First rule is to choose a hosting – it is responsible. The correct choice may depend on the success of your project, so forget about free hosting. If you want quality, then so be prepared to pay for it. Reliable paid hosting will provide you with everything you need, include the optimal speed of loading pages on your site.
The second rule of choosing a hosting: if you don’t know anything about hosting and domain names, choose a hosting provider, which offers domain web hosting apart from basic services to offer more and register domain names. So you do not have to deal with another and separate purchase of the domain name, without which you are hosting in general it is not needed.
The third rule: sooner or later you will learn how to manage your site. To do this you need to have a control panel for your site with a browser (for example, CPanel or Plesk). When choosing a hosting pay attention to it, although today, most providers offer the ability to manage each user. And what about without it? In addition, you must have access to the site using FTP. It is necessary to download additional files and it simply convenient.
And the fourth rule: if you decide to enter into a contract with a hosting provider, then a mandatory read the ToS of the web hosting provider, before you sign it. Pay attention to the duration of the contract. It is better not to sign any long-term contract, so as not to commit to the hosting provider.
