Choosing Your Web Hosting Provider Wisely
You may know the feeling, you have a brilliant idea for a website and before you know it you've bought the domain and got your hosting; takes just a few minutes. Like many things if it turns out you were too hasty and hadn't got hosting with the facilities you require it is usually very difficult to reverse your decision.

This problem is getting worse as the variety of features offered by hosting companies is constantly increasing. The main decision is usually Windows or Linux Server as a lot of the other features are dependent on this. So do you want ASP or PHP scripting?, what type of Database Access or MySQL?, do you want password protection?, do you want cheap hosting or 100% reliable uptime? do you want to resell the website? Would it be cheaper to get your own server? Do you want pay yearly or monthly?

I'm with Hostgator but didn't understand at the time that I needed the reseller option so that I can resell websites I create and hand them over to the new owner as a completely independent website ie not sharing my web space.

If you are getting the idea that there is a lot to consider then why not try the following website web hosting choice ? This goes though the options in a clear and concise fashion. They list my favorite provider Hostgator but I'm not up to date and JustHost is the current hot web hosting company.
