People think that using a free service is preferable than getting a paid monthly hosting. But however it’s not the case. What important is choosing the host that can best provide your web site’s needs, and to avoid free or unreasonably cheap hosts when possible.

Paid hosting is unquestionably better than free ones. First of all you get more useful features and add-ons with paid hosting. Is you need site assistant or any type of support, they would be much much faster and available when you need it. Connections to the internet would be faster as well, so that your published site will appear quicker on the web. Also with good paid hosting there would be no need to display a banner on each of your web pages as in free ones, or you won’t get tricked into buying the cheap paid web hosting but after awhile the host starts posting ads without your permission or violating the terms.

Secondly you need to choose operating system. You will finding hosts providing Windows or Linux hosting. Since windows is well known and most widely used, people will think it’s easier to use windows and to troubleshoot. But if you do, you are wrong. Both hosting package option for you to choose your own control panel through which you can administer your site, configuring webmails and installing softwares and creating databases. According to the recent researches, it is believed that most major companies use Linux servers, and C-panel. It is because Linux Servers runs faster and are more secure than of windows. This is depending on how the operating systems are built. Windows include every possible function in the base package while Linux allows the host company to add only the functions they need.

Lastly you need to consider the list of features a host offers. If you don’t know much about html you can look for a host that supplies you with free website building software and some better ones will even provide free Domain names. The best thing is you should look at a number of different companies and compare what they offer as standard with their hosting plans. Technical features to consider are

the amount of disk space available to you
how much monthly bandwidth you have to use
how many email accounts you can have
Customer support features (if response time is more than an hour, find a new host)
if they offer a money back guarantee.

Look to see what additional services the host includes in the package for example do they offer daily backups? Make sure they provides servers that support PHP as this is the main programming language of choice for programmers.

So to be on safe side and to get the best host, when choosing a website host, look for a paid host with Linux hosting and then compare the packages on offer from a variety of companies.
