When looking for a good hosting company, what criteria do you look for?

First of all, a free host can sometimes be the best if you're only a beginner with a cutsie little site about your puppies and kittens, but if you're more savvy and have a business, a free host isn't a good deal because they often put ads and popups on the pages and don't give you the ability to use the space for your own advertising, and even if you do, the ads they have on the site will often pull people away from your pages and onto someone else's site.

There are literally thousands of hosting companies. So how do you know if you're getting the best value for your money?

It depends on what you really need. Do you need unlimited e-mails, databases, and domains? Oftentimes a host will oversell on the unlimited stuff and they're really not going to deliver that much bandwidth, then they charge you bigtime when you go over, thinking that it's unlimited when it's really not. Or they charge you for support and when you run into a problem  you have to pay to get the support you need to fix it.

This is the same thing that a lot of cell phone companies do. They tell you one thing and do something else.

So you're much better off going with a small hosting company with an admin who knows the ins and outs of hosting and can offer you the best deals and the support you need in case you have a problem.

A big well known hosting company knows how to set things up to make the most money for the company. So you may find yourself paying for more than you need.
