Questions to Ask - about Your Business Requirements

The 2 most important resources for a website are none other than traffic bandwidth and web space. More traffic bandwidth means that you're allowed to drive more web visitors. More web space means that you can build more web pages.

As a standard practice, most web hosting companies will display information of bandwidth and web space on their sites. But what do those numbers mean? That's why you need to ask:

1. How many visitors can I drive and how many web pages can I build with the amount of bandwidth and web space you offer respectively?

Asking such a question can give you some ideas of which hosting plan you should choose based on your current needs. For example, if you're a start-up, you probably need only a basic shared hosting plan that will suffice to run your business for at least 6 months before you need to upgrade to a higher level.

Speaking of that, when the advanced shared hosting plan fails to meet your business needs as your business grows, you must upgrade further. But it's painfully time-consuming to find a new web host just to get more resources. Therefore, it's always good to ask if the web hosting company will support your business growth by offering even more robust plans and services with more powerful resources before you fully commit yourself to them.

2. What other hosting plans and services do you offer when I need more resources?

As important as bandwidth and web space, you should find out how many websites you can build.

3. How many websites can I build with the service or plan I choose?

Of course, the more websites you can build, the merrier.

Questions to Ask - about Control Panel

It can take you hours to set up websites if your control panel is difficult to navigate. But when you have a good control panel in hand, building your websites will become easy and hassle-free. Therefore, it's important to ask these 2 questions:

1. What control panel do you use?

2. Do you have a demo?

Many web hosting companies usually do not provide a demo. But if they do, go ahead and play the demo so that you can have a solid idea of whether the control panel is going to be easy to build your websites or not before you buy the hosting service.
