Introduction
I threw this page together as a resource to help out potential
webmasters in perhaps choosing a web host more wisely than many first did. A
wrong choice can have terrible consequences for your website and its
reputation, not to mention the loss of money in some cases. Keep the
following 'rules' in mind when considering purchasing web hosting
services.
The Ten Basic Rules
The hosting company which kicked off the creation of this article is
the now defunct Oktagone.net. Their absolute lack of professionalism,
and the (almost irreparable) damage they did to TweakGuides.com still
makes me angry, and it's been quite a while since I escaped their
clutches. My experience with Oktagone is the perfect example of all the
things that can go wrong with hosting.
Basic Rule Number One: Never rely on one or two pieces of
advice when purchasing hosting services, no matter how glowing the
recommendation. Aside from the fact that people may not really know what
they're talking about, some people often don't have any direct
experience with the host they're recommending, and of course some people
may even be paid by or affiliated with the host and thus their
recommendation is not genuine. Nothing replaces decent independent
research when choosing a web host. Hit Google and start searching for
any and all accounts of a host by actual users. Virtually all hosts will
show both good and bad experiences, but the good hosts usually have far
higher incidences of the good rather than the bad.
Basic Rule Number Two: Don't use a web host if they can't
automate or correctly administer the most fundamental aspect of a
business: billing and payments.
Basic Rule Number Three: Never ever rely on a web host which
has constant outages, even if they always come up with some excuse for
it. There is no genuine excuse for a web host which experiences
frequent, particularly lengthy, outages. All good hosts have redundancy
plans in place to prevent extended outages, and indeed if your host is
experiencing repeated outages without doing something about it that
should tell you how unprofessional their setup is. Your website relies
on a smooth and consistent presence on the Internet to be successful.
Constantly being unavailable undermines your image, reduces your income,
and affects search engine rankings to name just a few negative effects.
Basic Rule Number Four: If your website, or even the host's site itself, goes down for more than 24 hours, start getting
very worried. This is not normal, particularly if you were not given any prior warning or plausible explanation. Check the
WebHosting Talk Outages Forum
to see if there is an existing discussion on an outage at your
particular host or their upstream provider - you will have to do some
research if you're not sure who your host's original provider is. This
also leads me to:
Basic Rule Number Five: Begin the process of researching other
potential webhosts the minute you are unsatisfied with your current
host's service for any reason. This doesn't mean you should switch hosts
at the first sign of trouble, but the sooner you do some research to
find out which other hosts are available in your price range, and what
sort of feedback there is on their services, the better equipped you
will be to move in a hurry should it be necessary to abandon ship. You
may notice that I've mentioned
WebHosting Talk
(WHT) several times in this article - I'm not affiliated or sponsored
by WHT, it is simply a good place to research and read more about all
aspects of hosting, and interact with the hosts themselves. In any case
whichever avenue you choose, now is the time to do some research.
Basic Rule Number Six: Once your site is down for several
days, don't trust the host to tell you the truth about the situation,
and don't just sit and wait - switch hosts as soon as possible. Simply
put, if your web host hasn't taken steps to protect against extended
outages longer than a day by having some sort of contingency plan,
you're dealing with an unprofessional setup. In some situation,
their outright lying was bad enough, but the fact that they left some of
their customers offline for over two weeks means that the owner was
clearly uninterested in anything more than running hosting as a casual
hobby to earn money on the side. He was wholly unprepared to undertake
the responsibility of hosting, couldn't even pay his bills, and left all
his customers stranded, all the while telling blatant lies and refusing
to give refunds.
Basic Rule Number Seven: Always back up your website regularly
to your own PC and/or to another server or location other than your
host's server(s). Your host may or may not take regular backups of your
site/server, but you should never rely on these. In fact most hosts make
it clear as part of their terms and conditions that you are responsible
for backing up your own data. If a host goes down or goes bankrupt for
example, you cannot depend on being able to get back your data or any
backups stored on their servers. You must backup remotely to at least
one other reliable independent location, preferably more, and backup
regularly so that your backups are at the most 24 - 48 hours out of
date.
Basic Rule Number Eight: Never register your domain name
through your web host. Hosts will often offer to register a domain for
you, and many webmasters who are lazy or don't know any better will
accept this offer. The problem is that if your host is also holding your
domain registration details, and the host goes offline for extended
periods, goes bust, or you have a hostile relationship with them, then
you can't switch your site to another host. Why? Because you need to be
able to change the Domain Name Server information for your domain to
point it to new IP address(es), and if this is registered through your
host it may not be accessible and thus can't be changed, leaving you
stuck.
Basic Rule Number Nine: Never pay in advance for hosting, even
if it entails a large discount. You may find that you lose all your
money if the host goes down permanently, or even if they simply decide
not to refund you the balance if you leave early for example. Consumer
protection agencies, as well as the protection mechanisms in credit
cards and PayPal can help you recover your money in many cases, but for
small sums you're often going to spend more time and effort than is
worth the money you're trying to get back. Pay for your hosting by the
month, and do it using a credit card or PayPal so you have some form of
protection.

Basic Rule Number Ten: Finding a good host is not a foolproof
business. Even the smartest and most experienced webmasters can still
fall prey to a host which suddenly goes bust. Hosting itself is a risky,
expensive and complex business, so the companies involved in hosting -
just like any other business - can experience ups and downs. If you find
a good host, stick with them through the bad times, although this
doesn't negate the earlier rules I mentioned. For example, if a good
host goes down for 24 hours or more, you should still research other
hosts in preparation to move. Then when your host provides you with a
reason for the downtime, judge its plausibility based on some research.
All hosts have outages from time to time, but if a 'good' host
experiences frequent outages, and things are steadily getting worse,
then it's time to move on.
And remember this final bonus tip: cheapest is usually not the best choice
when it comes to hosting. If having a stable presence on the Internet
is important to you, if you don't want to waste countless hours trying
to resolve mysterious problems with your site, then do your research and
be prepared to spend a few extra bucks to get a quality service run by a
professional team. Almost without fail, the cheapest hosts are the
worst ones, because they're either using a business model that is
extremely risky or unviable in the long term, and/or they are
deliberately cutting corners in a range of areas which can lead to
outages, data loss and terrible support. You definitely get what you pay
for in the hosting world.
