5 Things To Consider Before Choosing A Web Host

A website host is the organization that will store, manage, and often times provide tools to make owning and operating an online business easy.
There are many web hosts available and within each company there are a number of hosting plans.
Here are a few things to look for when evaluating a web hosting company and plan.
1. How much disk space is available to you? 
Depending on the size of your website, the graphics and features.
25-50 MB is likely enough, however, make sure you have the option to upgrade should your site grow beyond this capacity.
Bandwidth is also a measurable statistic and the more visitors you have, the more you’ll need.
Starting small is fine, again just make sure you can upgrade when you need to.
2. Is customer support available 24/7?
Internet businesses operate all day and all night long, it never stops.
You need a service that is available to you whenever issues arise.
3. How reliable is the hosting service? 
It is important to evaluate the up-time of each host you’re considering.
It is understandable that downtime occurs because systems need to be maintained and upgraded; however, too much downtime can affect your business.
4. What software features does your business site need?
Examples include email accounts, message boards, FrontPage Extensions, shopping cart, web design service or templates, and mailing lists.
5. Do they track your website statistics?
This is important because you’ll want to evaluate the success rate of various advertising and marketing campaigns and you’ll want to see how many visitors you have on any given day and where they’re coming from. 
As an affiliate marketer, it’s unlikely that you will collect credit cards or personal information from your visitors, but if you are planning to do so in the future then you will want a server that supports encryption.
