How to choose a hosting service
First, identify your needs. Do you need a secure server, CGI-bin access, Front Page extensions, streaming audio or video, database access, or other specific capabilities? How much server space and data transfer will you need? What are your email needs - autoresponders, redirects, number of boxes. How much are you willing to pay? Are upgrades in service available in case site requirements change?

Next, I make a list of wants. Things such as domain name registration, usage statistics, access to raw log files, online documentation, online account access, 24/7 technical support, and a money back guarantee.

Then comes what is perhaps the most important step....

Look before you leap
How can you tell if a hosting company is likely to be reliable and responsive? Do some research. Ask around on newsgroups or list groups and check the Hosting Experiences folder in the Web Design Forum.

After your site is located on a server, it never hurts to keep an eye on it. You may become aware of a problem before it can cause damage. NetMechanic has a Server Check service that monitors your Web server 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, sends you regular performance summaries, and alerts you when your server is down.
