Once you decide you want to create a website or blog, the first thing you’ll need to do is figure out what web hosting company you want to go with. While this might not sound like an important decision to make, and that any hosting company will do, you will want to do some research on the web hosting company first.

There are a few things you are looking for. Obviously, one is price. You don’t want to spend too much when there are so many options out there that are under $15 a month. You also want to make sure you get the features you want. Some have easier interfaces than others. Some will only let you have a certain number of domains on your account.  Some are run on Windows boxes, while others use Linux.  You also get a certain amount of space on your account. These are all important things to find out before you choose your account.

You also need to make sure that the hosting company is reliable. You would think that every hosting company would be reliable, but that’s not the case. You would be surprised at how many companies have problems, and have downtime. This is one of the reasons we switched to HostMonster in the first place…and we’re very glad we did.

HostMonster had everything we were looking for. We searched for reviews, and found that people had very little downtime…so we knew that they were reliable. The price was on the low side, so we were happy with that as well. We also liked that you can have an unlimited number of domains with the hosting account. Some will only let you have a set number, and we have a lot of sites…and didn’t want to pay extra because of it. With HostMonster, you don’t have to.

We’ve been HostMonster for over a year now, and are still very happy with our choice, and wouldn’t switch. So when choosing a web hosting provider, make sure you take some time to do research, and don’t just randomly choose one. You’ll be glad you spend the time to find the one that’s best for you.
