When finding the best web hosting company for your website the best process for finding it for you is elimination. You need to look at several options. First compare feature-by-feature then dollar-for-dollar. This will ensure that you get the best fir and the most for your money. Issues such a reliability, downtime, features, support, bandwidth etc all also needed to be clearly outlined.
Ah! If only it were that easy. Comparing features and prices is easy, but they are largely meaningless. Getting real information on reliability, downtime, support, bandwidth, performance, recovery times (disasters do happen), are the most important things at the end of the day and are usually unknown - and often unknowable - quantities when it comes to selecting a host. Making a selection purely on a list of features and their prices isn't going to lead to the best decision....but that's the way it has always been.
It is a universal fact that, one cannot consider the entire hosting plans equivalent to each other. What way one can seek a host both ideal and affordable? Certainly, it is not an easy task. One needs to consider several aspects.
