Choosing A Host For Your Business Web Site

Maybe you have decided to create a salon Web site but don’t know the first thing about choosing a host. Or perhaps you’re ready to revamp your site and are wondering if your current host is the best for your business. Either way, choosing a host—which manages the servers on which your site will run—is an important decision. Unfortunately, it can be difficult because most major hosting companies offer similar features.

If you’re having trouble, try these tips from CNNMoney:

Be wary of reviews. Side-by-side comparison sites are sometimes affiliated with hosting companies, which means the reviews listed are actually paid advertisements. Top Ten Reviews and Top 10 Web Hosting are two sites that you don’t have to worry about.

Evaluate the host’s customer service. Technical issues can happen at any time—you want to be confident that you can access support 24/7. Test this out by calling and/or e-mailing your prospective host with questions and concerns, and monitor how quickly (and thoroughly) they respond.
