[Cross-posted from HostLater]
When I started Blogging, I thought Blogger (Blogspot platform) is the World for me. Later, people bragged about WordPress, and its functions. Impressed by that, I moved there. Changing the platform was once inevitable, but now people with professional goals seek WordPress.
Even the perfect CMS can be determined, but picking the perfect “Hosting” is difficult. There are hell lot of factors for considering a good web host. Some include :
- Price (probably on a year basis)
- Technical Support (Live Chat is best, though Ticket System can also be helpful)
- Technical Specification (Disk Space, Bandwidth, Subdomains, etc)
- Control Panels offered (Pick either cPanel or Plesk)
These are some of the common factors you should consider before buying a web host. When I brought GoDaddy web hosting for HellBound Bloggers (HBB), I was not aware about such things, I blindly picked it and I later moved on to HostGator, then KnownHost VPS. The reason for switching is not of bad performance, but the lake of specifications to control HBB‘s growth. I could have saved some money if I picked a better host stable for my blog’s traffic earlier.
HostLater will be helpful for people to pick the best ones, let it be Shared, VPS, Dedicated or Cloud. Though not very talented, we have people experienced with leading web hosting providers.

GREAT AND INFORMATIVE POST AND YOUR EXPERIENCE IS VERY MUCH HELPFUL TO ME , THANKS
True, there are a lot of factors for considering a good web host. If we're not well informed on these important factors we'll definitely end up paying more and more confusions with the costly plans which promises just too many things. You published a very important post, Pradeep.
Nice initiative Pradeep 🙂 Is HostLater based on only hosting related articles??
Thanks Priyanka. Yes, only for Hosting and Domain names. 🙂
Good one. I am sure the new blog will be as handsome as HBB. 🙂
I think Technical Support and Technical Specification is very important for good web hosting
Thanks for the hosting tip Pradeep ! what's your opinion about 1&1 ?
1&1 is OK for domain names mate. For Hosting you can move on other hosts. 🙂
I haven't heard of HostLater until now. I have been using hostgator since and it works pretty well for me so far. But thanks for this info, i might as well check them out.
Oops. HostGator and HostLater are different. HostLater (http://hostlater.com) is a new blog on our Slashsquare (http://slashsquare.org) Network. Cheers.
Good Luck with the new blog 😉 Liked its design simple like HBB
hope fr the best in ur new blog..
