Choosing a Web Host is Kind of Like Choosing a Spouse

Wednesday May 7, 2008

The Web host selection process is similar in many ways to how one might choose a spouse. You're looking for a trusted, reliable partner in both cases. And both require a little legwork to get just right.

They also share the same 5 basic steps:

  1. Know what you want/need.
  2. Get trusted recommendations.
  3. Look for exceptional qualities.
  4. Get to know them well.
  5. Don't be afraid to move on to the next candidate.

Check out this article to see how to apply these 5 steps to choosing your perfect Web host.

By the way, if what you need is $10-per-month hosting, you'll be interested in this list of cheap but reliable Web hosts. (Please refrain from any $10-per-month spouse jokes. That's too easy.)
