10 Things to check before purchasing web hosting
1. First time purchase Vs Renewal cost
Always before purchasing any hosting package check the first price and then the renewal because many companies offer hosting packages at a very cheap price at first and then at renewal time they charge almost double the amount.
So always check the renewal cost and first price if both are perfect for you then follow other 9 steps and then select that hosting otherwise don’t go with that hosting company.
2. Support
Always check the support system of that hosting company before purchasing a hosting package so if in future you face any issues then the support team should be able to resolve all your questions and queries as soon as possible with the best solutions.
3. Back-up/Security
Always check hosting company back-up and security features because online threats can destroy your whole data. In that case if you don’t have website backup then hosting companies can help you from their end if they are using daily backup features so this is a very important thing to keep in mind while purchasing hosting.
4. Uptime and Downtime
If you don’t want to lose your website traffic and customers then must check hosting provider company uptime and downtime if that company provides 99.9% uptime with less down time then you can go with that hosting company but if that company has high down time then your visitors see blank page or errors and your website not load properly so you will lose your traffic.
5. Terms and Conditions
Always check the terms and conditions of the hosting company. Also, you can check other necessary pages if you are comfortable with their policies, then go with them but in case you didn’t read them and if you violate any policy or rule, then it can cause trouble, so always check company policies.
6. Reviews and Rating
Reviews and rating is the most important factor because people always rate companies according to their services, good or bad, so you must check reviews and ratings of that company so that you can select the best service provider.
7. Price and Package comparison
As you know there are tons of hosting companies in market who claims that they are best service provider so if you are confused in this question that which is best for you then you can check and compare different-different hosting companies packages and pricing that in which price what they are providing whats type of features you are going to get so it help you alot.
8. Domain
Everyone loves freebies with products and companies know it very well so many companies offer free domains with hosting packages so research on it to find a perfect plan for yourself because it’s going to save you a lot of money.

10. Cpanel
All hosting provider companies offer different platforms to manage your hosting package like cpanel, direct admin etc.. but let me tell you this thing comes free with hosting package but if any company is charging an external amount then don’t go with them.
