As a web hosting company, we are supplying a service and we have customers. That’s a good thing and the way it should be.
But think about it from this perspective: Your web hosting company is more than just the business that hosts your website. Your web hosting company is a partner in your business, in its success or in its failure. Your website is only as good as your web hosting company, their services and their support. That may sound dramatic and I don’t mean to alarm you, but when it’s boiled down to the essence, that’s just the way it is.
I've written a few times about how to choose a good web hosting company; this article will help with that.
When everything is smooth sailing you may get away with a not-so-good web hosting company, but when the storm comes that’s when the ship is either wrecked or completely sinks.
When you need help, make sure your web hosting company can help you quickly, in a friendly manner. Not using too much technical jargon also helps as the average web hosting client is a business person not a technician.
Your web hosting company should provide fast, simple to the point support, if a problem arises. Behind the scenes they should work hard to ensure that everything is running smoothly and will continue to do so. Ample help in the form of easy to use tutorials in an easy to access knowledge base is a must.
Choose your web hosting company wisely as they will have a large part to play in the success of your website.
