Tricks to know when choosing a web hosting service provider

There are many tricks existing on the web hosting market. To choose a good web hosting company or plan and save your money, you have to know the tricks and check carefully with the company.

Here are some important tricks you have to know:

1. Free Domain Name ?

Many web hosting companies claim on website that there's 1 domain name included as free in their web hosting plan. But what does free mean?

  • For some companies, it only free for the first year, you have to pay for the domain name start from the 2nd year.
  • For some other companies, it's free for life time.

So check out carefully.

2. Domain privacy?

An big issue for domain name is Domain Privacy-- once you registered a domain name, all your personal information, including your name, family address, phone number and email address, would be exposed publicly and available to everyone on the Internet 24x7 (read the details).

You can avoid this by purchasing the Private Domain Registration service from domain name registrar or your web hosting company, which usually cost about $9.0 a year.

Some web hosting companies provide Private Domain Registration as free in their hosting plan, some companies charge you extra $9.0.

Check it out.

3. $3.95 per month ?

Some companies advertising their hosting plan only costs $3.95 per month. But when you check the details, you will find that you have to pay for 2 years, 3 years or even 5 years hosting fee at one time. For one year hosting, $7.95 per month ! Is that what you expected?

4. Unlimited ?

Some companies claim they have new unlimited web hosting plan come out-- unlimited space, unlimited network traffic-- that good, but, is that all you need? If you check carefully, you may notice that they might have a limit on database-- 1G limit ! If you host video, music, photos, 1G is definitely not big enough for you.

So check and think about it carefully.

5. Money back Gurantee

Almost all companies claim they provide 30-days Money back Gurantee, a few of them even provide "any time Money back Gurantee". If you are concern about your investment, take the "any time Money back Gurantee" plan.

6. Technical Support

Some web hosting companies only provide web and email tech support, while some other companes provide 24x7 live phone support. Are you satisfy with email support only? make sure you choose the right one.

7. Setup fee

Many companies claim their setup fee is free. If you check carefully, some of them only free for 2-year or 3-year web hosting plans. Do you want to be charged by extra setup fee for 1-year hosting plan?

There are some other tricks, but the aboves are the most important for you to know.

Welcome !

If you are looking for the best domain name registration companies or web hosting service providers, this is the right place for you.

Confused ?  

Here are two common questions and answers:

  • Should I use a free web hosting service or a paid one?

    - Free web hosting usually provides no top-level domain name,  limited resources-- limited hard disk space, limited network traffic, limited templates for Joomla, no technical support-- but free.

    - Paid web hosting you may pay $1.99 a month, you can get at least one     free domain name, unlimited space, traffic, templates -- but you have to pay.
  • Should I start from registering a domain name, or start with a web hosting service?

    Web hosting plan will at least     have one free domain name included, so if you want to build a website for the first time, go with web hosting, you will get your domain name for free (included in the hosting plan). If you already have a  website, just looking for additional domain names, then go with a good domain name registrar.
