If you are planning to establish your own blog with your own domain, the first thing to do is to search a suitable web host. And before choosing one, there are some important criteria, besides the prize, you should consider, before making the deal.
- The prize: As I said, there are other things than costs, but the costs are of course one of the most important things. And to get the best prize, you should always ask for bids. If you check out different providers, you may save a lot of money. You may even find out, that someone may do something for free, which would cost you a lot of money with different provider. Bur remember, if you are paying nothing you will get nothing.
- The duration of the contract: Check out the details in the offers you will receive. If you are not careful, you may be committed to longer time, that you really would like to. And if you are not satisfied with the service, there has to be a way to get rid off the deal in reasonable time with reasonable costs.
- Can you change something later: Before making the deal, you should consider, could there be a need to change the some details later and are does the contract allow you to do that. Once again, if you are not careful, this may cost you money.
- The terms of the contract: Usually there is something about Force Major, but if the web hotel does not even provide backups, you are not buying services but troubles. And are you really willing to pay anything for a provider, who does not guarantee anything.
-The whole package: Try to get all or at least most of the components from the same provider. If you buy domain from one places, web site from other and blog software from the third provider, you’ll have to manage three contracts and not just one.
