1. Cost Check

While comparing different Web hosting Service companies, you must attempt to know how much the hosting is going to cost. It's elementary; the service will match the cost. Better service should cost more, however it might not be the case always. By making a list of service that your website may need would let you eliminate unnecessary facilities thereby reducing the cost. So, start by listing out what services you might need to begin with.

-Check if the set-up is free.
-Also, know if there is an extra cost for secure transactions.
-Check if having multiple URL would attract fees.
-On similar lines check if having multiple Email addresses would cost more.

Simply, it is a priority to get relevant with the cost and the extra cost.

2. Contract Check

It is always safe to read the terms and conditions carefully before you pay. Look for clause where the web host might charge to terminate your agreement in case you decide to shift to another Web hosting service. It is good to know regarding this and to know if there are any other restrictions on moving your site in the future.

3. Make Choice on needs

As I mentioned earlier, different companies offer different hosting service packages. Understand the level of technical support you need and get on-board only if the hosting company can meet your expectations.
- Check if they have a reachable phone number
- If they provide out of hours support.
- Are the phone numbers toll free?, etc.;

4. Additional Offers

Though you are in a hurry to get your site up and running, it is also important to focus on your long term requirements over the immediate ones.

- Ensure to verify the capacity of the hosting company to support your business as it grows.
- Check if the hosting companies provide usage report for your website. This is important for making future decision on you business.
- Compare the report provided by various companies to check how useful they would be before choosing your web host.

5. Domain Name Registration

Check if the registration of your domain name is part of the package. Further, do check if the company lets you have a choice in choosing the domain name. Some companies register in their own name. It is recommended, not necessarily, that you register the domain in your own name, so that your registration holds good even if the hosting company goes out of business.
