When looking for a web host, it will be useful to obtain as much information as possible about the web hosting company itself and the services they offer. You can obtain detailed information about the services they offer - the web hosting plans they support.

These days web hosting plans on the web are getting very competitive and features of each plan are comparatively the same among web hosting providers. Whether experienced or not, you can find some useful information in this article.

The following are 5 things to consider when choosing a web hosting service.

· BandWidth - Every web hosting plan will come with a set amount of bandwidth (sometimes referred to as transfer). Bandwidth is how much information is passed between the web hosting server and a visitor’s computer. You will get a monthly allowance of bandwidth and it will most likely be a number in Megabytes (MB) or Gigabytes (GB).

· Web Space - Space is the amount of storage allocated for you to place your website in. This number will be in Megabytes (MB) or Gigabytes (GB). The more space you have the more stuff you can put online. If you plan on putting pictures or big files online, make sure you go with a hosting plan with a large amount of space. If you plan on hosting a small site with just a few pages, then pick a plan with less storage. A typical plan would include 500 MB of storage and 1 GB of transfer.

· Customer Support - A web host that does not have great support should not even be considered. You will run into a problem with your website. Unless you are a webmaster, you will find something you don’t know how to do or fix, and great support is critical then. You will need a web host that can reply to your support requests quickly, and correctly. A good web host included great support with all of their plans.

· Reliability - Read reviews on the company. Try to make sure that the reviews you are reading are independant reviews. Reliability is important.

· Price - You'll need to use a reliable web host if you are serious about having a web site. Prices range considerably -- however most companies range between $6 a month to $20 a month. The highest rates don't always translate into the best service.
