The cost
The first one is the price , If you just start blogging and have just hundreds of visitor per month then you should stick to less bandwith and webspace to cut down cost. My budget for new blog is below USD 40 per year including domain.After you blog start picking up then you can upgrade to higher bandwith and space hosting plan.
Add on domain
This is very important thing to consider on , if you are have multiple websites or blogs. When considering a hosting plan makesure that they offer unlimited add-on domains. I have 20-30 of landing pages on the net and i use add-on domain by pointing them to my existing hosting. This is why unlimited add on domain feature is very important when considering a hosting plan.
Down time
Make sure you choose a hosting company with less down time. it is very unhealthy for your business or blog if you visitors cant access your website or blog. The longger down time period the more money you will lose.
Webspace
If you website is still new dont go for large webspace. Upgrade the webspace from time to time along with your website growth.
Customer support
Read reviews about the hosting company that you plan to subscribe with. Try to make sure that they have excellent customer support. I would prefer a company that will reply you email within one hour instead of one day.Choose company with the reputation of fast respond time.
Cpanel
I wont go for any hosting company if they dont have cpanel comes with their hosting plan.Im not a technical guy and i want to make my job as easy as possible. Having a cpanel i can install internet application like wordpress or forum just with one click. If you are like me then makesure your web hosting has cpanel installed.
My recommedation -
Hostgator , they have the best price , features , supports. If you are looking for new web hosting company , i would totally recommend hostgator for you because i already with them for 2 years and they have done an excellent job as my hosting company.
