The hunt for the perfect partner is like the hunt for the perfect web host, and in both cases doing some homework before making a commitment is the sensible thing to do, and avoids the stress and expense of disengaging.

Asking the right questions is the perfect way to find out what you need to know before you make a promise you regret.

3. How much will it cost me?

No one likes to talk about money, but the fact is that money has to be discussed at some point. You need to know what you are paying for and what EXTRAS you might have to pay for in the future – this is the grey area where many people come unstuck. The ‘unlimited bandwidth’ probably does have a limit; find out what it is and how much it will cost you if you need to increase it. Also, clarify what is included in the package and what isn’t: for example, a direct email address to your domain name would be nice, but how much will it cost you?

A note on pricing…while many web hosts offer a good all-round service for not much money using shared servers the chances of you getting the service and support you need for a tiny monthly charge is low. Remember the saying: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

4. What kind of support can you give me?

All web hosts will promise life-long support and fidelity, but not all will have the integrity, staff and resources to stick to that promise. Test them beforehand – email at all times of day and night and on weekends. If they get back to you late or not at all, ask yourself whether you can live with this kind of behaviour.
