2. Server Uptime :
After looking and getting satisfied by their support the second most important thing is Server Uptime. Server Uptime controls the life of your Blog. Almost all web host guarantees 99% uptime but many of them fail to provide that much uptime of the server, and because of that your blog has to face the downtime for several hours or days,.
3. Backup :
Usually most of Web Host don’t make the backups of the sites they host, but many reputed hosts makes the backup of the sites which they host. The backup can be done on weekly basis or monthly basis. Even though you can create backup of your sites by your own as there is a backup option in the cpanel.
4. Pricing Plans :
You can find different host with different hosting plans it can be high, it can be low but I what would suggest is that if you see any low pricing plans then never go for it until you are satisfied with all the above things, because the low pricing plans is just a lure to attract the users. Most of Web Host have high pricing plans but its not like that if they have high pricing plans they it will be good for sure, if you are thinking so then you are wrong having high pricing plans doesn’t means that the web host is good. Company’s use high pricing plans on the type of the service they provide like 24/7 support, weekly backups, etc, If your web host does not have all those services for you then its useless to pay them high prices.
5. Choosing between new or old web hosting company :
Choosing a old or a new web host doesn’t matter that much if they are strong in all the above points, but still it’s good if you choose the old and reputed web host cause they are well experienced and they know what kind of services their clients needs.
Hope these things will help you out to find better web host for your blog.
