Website owners tend to make many mistakes while deciding on the most reliable web hosting company for their websites. Before, before you fix a web host, you must consider the common mistakes often made by website owners, to avoid any problems at the later stage.
Disk Space and Bandwidth
Many web hosting companies have a propensity to promote their offer of unlimited disk space and bandwidth as a majority of websites need a meagre amount of space and bandwidth, while a few seek a larger amount. And when these companies suddenly start growing, they face a problem of overloading of their servers, resulting into their websites going offline. Additional fees would then need to be paid to enhance the amount of space and bandwidth. Avoid such enhanced offer schemes, as they might be not completely genuine.
Technical Support
Hosting of a website involves various technical aspects, to which many website owners are unaware of. You must select a web host who is well-equipped with technical knowledge required for hosting your website efficiently, and helping you with setting up your account, installing scripts, creating email accounts, databases, etc. You can also check the host's response times by sending a test email or making a call. If they do not respond within 24 hours or immediately, look for a more reliable one.
Uptime
When your server goes down, your website too will not be available online. Check for the uptime of the servers of your chosen host. It should be at least 99% so that 1% is to allow for server upgrades. There are many other reasons why the website uptime would go down which includes site upgrades, server hardware failures, high load issues etc all of which can be reduced by signing up for a higher server configuration and professional server support company.
Slow Servers
Website loading times is also now accounted by search engines as a measure to rank websites. Slow loading of your website may not fetch you good ranking. If your website does not load within a few seconds, the visitors may become frustrated and switch to a different website. After uploading a file to the server, you must check your sites loading time before your guarantee expires.
Money-back Guarantee
A reliable web hosting company would usually offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you do not find such offer from your shortlisted hosting companies, look for another web host which offer you a refund atleast on pro-rate basis.
