What do you look for in hosting?

Are you concerned with the price? What about the quality? Are you concerned about both? I figure quality is more important than price with most people.

Before considering a hosting service, I look for data security, loading speed, support, storage, scalability option, customer support, and payment methods.

If you are on a budget, you should think about how much you will have to pay. A lot of web hosting companies have hidden charges, some web hosts also frequently try to upsell various products. You will have to do a lot of research and check customer reviews before buying a hosting plan.

I look for quality first then I look if I can afford the hosting plan, then if I can't afford I go for yearly plans or other hosting companies. I also look at the past of hosting companies like how many years it has been established and the public reviews.

When choosing web hosting, I go for quality first not the price. I need to consider factors such as server uptime and speed; this play tons of rope role in your site. You might have a very user friendly site with many things to keep it interactive, but when once your site is down, you doomed ranging from traffic, rankings and to grammars like "unable to establish connect" and so on and forth.

Secondly is the bandwidth, this will determine if your capable of withstanding huge traffic or not. So it plays a vital role in quality web hosting.

Thirdly is the storage, this has to do with the capability of your site handling medias like videos, images, audios, you can list them.

So once the webhost offers a good quality and quantity of aforelisted attributes, I will recommend it for hosting of websites. These are my basics, there still still more to watch out for.
