Tips for Web hosting

Here are some tips for choosing a Web hosting service. The following six tips are fairly universal and should be considered when selecting your Web hosting provider.

* Amount of web space
* FTP access
* Reliability, security & access speed
* Dependence and support
* Pricing plans
* Data transfer (Bandwidth)

Here is the excerpt on FTP Access: "FTP access is very important since it lets you have the ability to upload new pages. A few web hosting service providers let you to just design your web pages with their own personal web builder. This may be useful for beginners however you need to ensure if they provide you the facility to expand later when you enhance your online business capabilities."

I agree with this assessment. Different people have different needs and have different levels of technical sophistication. There are many web hosting services out there that specialize in simple template solutions for beginners & intermediates, while there are many advanced options for the technical mavens amongst us as well.
