My Two Cents: Choosing a Web Host

I maintain a mailing list of over 1600 work at home moms who own small businesses selling crafts and handmade accessories. As you might guess, I get a lot of e-mail on a daily basis from women who want advice about setting up an online presence for their businesses. Generally, it begins with the dilemma of how to choose web hosting, how to get their site designed, and the first steps of getting their site online and indexed in the search engines.
I am always more than happy to help. I wish I’d had someone to ask these same questions years ago, but I had to puzzle things out on my own. So, it makes me happy to help others now. I spend at least 4 months doing research before I chose my own web host. I looked at every possible parameter. And, I have to say that more than a year later; I am still thrilled on a daily basis with my host.
I don’t always have all the answers, nor is my point of view the only correct way to look at things. I like it when I can find a depository of applicable articles to show people who have questions. That way, they are getting a more varied view of how to go about choosing a web host and similar topics. More often than not, people are looking for information on windows web hosting. The WebHostingRating.com website has a pretty varied selection of article that all address the choosing of a web host. A lot of the articles center around figuring out if a web host is reliable and worth the cost.
I suggest taking your time to do research, read articles like the ones on the site I linked, and ask people you know who they use for hosting and if they have been satisfied. More often than not, a solid personal referral is your best bet.
