Review Web Host - To Prevent Web Host Shut Down
This article is based on a true experience that took place with my web host.
I am not here to blame or try to give my web host a bad name, I am here to give
an honest web host review, that makes sense to you before choosing a web host
provider that is right for your business.
All web host are created equal in my eyes, that is, or that used to be, until I
got shut down without warning. It was very hard for me to understand how I could
start a new website from scratch and eat up 40 Gigs of bandwidth in that short
span of time (3 months, and I was shut down).
You should do a web host review, before you make a choice. The problem online
today is, how can you make a sound web host review with all the thousands out
there.
It is impossible to review the thousands of web host out there, but it is in
your best interest if you base your web host review on high in demand providers.
Many of the top marketers have their own server, and you can't afford to pay
$200 or more monthly for your own server.
For you to prevent web host shut down, you will have to learn how to use the
forums to find recommendation for choosing your web hosting provider. I didn't
do my own research and that is why my web host shut me down without notice.
After being shut down, I went to two of my favorite forums and read a couple of
post regarding my hosting company, and realized that no one had any great
experiences with that company. They gave poor web host review grades for that
host, well life is a learning process, and I know what not to do when choosing a
web hosting provider.
Here are four tips you should follow to get a web host review:
1) Don't ever go for unlimited domain names.
One other point worth mentioning, don't ever go for unlimited domain names,
whenever you create a new account they automatically divide up your hosting
bandwidth. That means that if you have just 40 Gigs of bandwidth and you divide
it up by four domain names, you have used up all your bandwidth.
So, any other new domain name you add will make you exceed your bandwidth,
please understand I am just showing you the rip offs that takes place with some
low cost web hosting providers. They say that they will warn you when your
exceeding your bandwidth, but they just never do. They make you pay extra for
unlimited domain names, but you being new to the Internet, you won't ever need
more than three to six domain names to get you started.
2) Don't go with any web hosting provider that requires the full amount up
front.
They offer low cost web hosting if you pay the yearly price up front. Well, once
you have paid for the year, you are tied to this company, should their service
be not worthy, you will loose your initial yearly payment. Go with a company
that has a 3 month or monthly payment plan, with a money back guarantee.
3) Test by sending a simple email to your web host first.
Just send off a simple email telling your web host that your interested in their
hosting, this is a must for you to review web host that are unknown. The
response time to your email will let you know what type of service they offer.
4) Ask for a charge back.
As you know, the client is supposed to be king, keep all your receipts in place,
and should you ever be shut down by your web host after paying a yearly plan,
just go to your credit card provider and file a complaint for a refund. Don't
let anyone scam you out of your money.
The final conclusion, your the one to blame if you get scammed, so make sure you
follow my web host review tips before handing out your credit card.
