How to buy Web Hosting
Whether you’re an individual looking to create a blog site or a portfolio page, a small business looking to increase online presence, or a large company in need of more utilities from a web hosting service, FindTheBest can make your decision easier.
Consider these features when looking for a new web hosting service.
Consider these features when looking for a new web hosting service.
- Individuals: Individuals looking for the best web hosting service should consider the disk space offered by the service, the email features and the monthly fee. Although many services charge a monthly rate for web hosting, you can pay for a longer period of time (one year, two years, or five years) to get a discount on the total price.
- Small Businesses: First, look for a competitive pricing plan, then see what design templates and website starter options the web hosting service offers. This will help get your site up and running quickly, and help you maintain it over time. If you’re looking to open an online store, look for web hosting services that integrate online storefronts into their package options: this will save you the time of setting up an online store on your own.
- Large Companies: Large companies that don’t manage their own servers in-house will need to find a web hosting service big enough to accommodate their traffic. Email management is also important in a large company, as the web hosting service will also be responsible for providing enough email addresses to all employees. Some web hosting services are industry specific. If you’re looking to create a site for a business in a specific industry, look for a web-hosting provider that specializes in your field.
With 383 web hosting to choose from, we can help you find the best one for your needs.

Plan
The level of hosting service a user can purchase. Web hosting companies offer different plans in order to fit the needs of different types of customers. Plans vary depending on disk space, bandwidth, email features and other functions.
Monthly Fee (12 Month Plan)
The base rate for one month of hosting: users agree to a 12-month contract. Web hosting services will charge extra fees depending on what features a user decides to include, such as domain name registration and renewal fees.
Disk Space
Web hosting services allot a finite amount of space to users based on the monthly rate.The disk space stores your content files that make up your site. All HTML, multimedia, and scripts need to be hosted on the site, so having enough disk space is important. For example, you’d need around 20kb for a standard low-functionality webpage: with a hosting package of 10 MB, you could host around 500 pages of content CONFUSED, tell me 20kb (is that meant to be KB) and then talk about 10MD. However, multimedia files will take up more space than those low-functionality pages (a 3 minute-long music file might take up 3 MB of disk space – videos take up much more.)
For those who know they need to host multimedia content, add up the content you know you’ll be hosting, then double it: this will be an adequate disk space for your site. This will give you room for your existing files, and give you enough space to grow.

Email Features
Email features from a web hosting service provide email addresses with your domain name or your company’s name (ex. JohnDoe@MyCompany.com). More email features give you multiple email addresses, increased security and spam protection. The number of email addresses will increase as the size of the web hosting plan increases. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and POP3 (Post Office Protocol) indicate how a server handles email. SMTP sends email files between servers. POP3 allows users to download those email files from servers.
Industry
Some web hosting plans are developed with a particular industry in mind.Industry-specific web hosting plans help users develop websites oriented toward highly specific uses. Depending on the industry, web-hosting features, like disk space and bandwidth, will change with the industry.
Web Features
These are the online features that help you manage your website. Server-side development helps support whatever kind of site you need to host and the web features allow you to see what is possible for your site that’s offered by the web hosting service.

What to Watch for in Web Hosting
The cheapest web hosting plan isn’t always the best option. With a web hosting service, you get what you pay for, so if you need multiple features, you’ll need to pay for them. A cheap web hosting plan might limit your website.
Also void shared servers if you don’t know who else is on the server: phishing, spam, and adult websites will be blacklisted by search engines, and you don’t want your site to suffer as a result.
