-
Perhaps your web hosting company has a technical support group that never answers their email, or their control panel is difficult to use. Maybe your website has been having more downtime than uptime. Whatever the reason you are thinking of switching hosts, make sure you have your ducks in a row before making the move.
Here are five things to think about as you transition your website:

With so many web hosting companies competing for your web hosting dollar, the companies have had to stretch their imagination to come up with ways to convince you that their company is giving you the most for your money, and consequently, the most affordable web hosting package for you. The most typical way they've done this is to throw in a bunch of bells and whistles to create full 'packages' so that you get everything you need - and a lot you don't - for one low, affordable price.

The market is good for new Web hosting companies. According to Forrester Research, there is now “positive — if modest — growth for Web hosting and managed IT services, at both the enterprise and SMB levels.”
This is an especially good business to be in if you are a web designer or IT consultant. It fits naturally with the business model of such small consulting firms. Why refer out or miss out on selling a service that most small businesses need? Hosting is an excellent source of monthly recurring revenue. Read more... - Web Hosting Features - FTP access

One other thing that is common amongst paid web hosting accounts is FTP access. FTP programs allow you to upload files and to edit and delete your content on the server much more quickly than using a Web-based interface. If you are web hosting on a *nix system, you'll also be able to change your file permission settings using FTP.
One of the better features I've seen offered with web hosting is the ability for you to create your own FTP accounts. Read more...

There are many things to consider when choosing a web hosting plan. The five most important are listed below. 1. Disk Space/Storage refers to the amount of space given by a web hosting plan for your web site's pages, images, and any additional files. Take this into consideration when determining the total number of files you will be using for your website and their sizes. For example, let's say that among your files you have 100 images which are 50 Kilobytes each in size. This would use up 4.88281 Megabytes of your storage *(100 x 50 Kilobytes = 5000 Kilobytes = 4.88281 Megabytes). If you are planing on creating a website with a lot of video or audio files, you will need a lot of disk space. You can calculate the disk space you will need for your website here. 2. Data Transfer is the monthly amount of outward-bound non-email traffic from your web site, that is allowed by a web hosting plan. Each time a visitor views one of your pages, all the files used to generate the page are calculated into your data transfer. For example, let's say a visitor views a page that has 50 Kilobytes of text and 200 images at 100 Kilobytes apiece. This page view would use .0191212 Gigabytes of data transfer *{50 Kilobytes + (200 x 100 Kilobytes) = 20050 Kilobytes = 19.58008 Megabytes = .0191212 Gigabytes}. Most web hosting plans' monthly data transfer allowances are listed in Gigabytes. To calculate your expected monthly data transfer and convert it into Gigabytes, use these calculators. 3. Cost is very important. You want to find a web hosting plan that fits into your budget and not sacrifice your disk space and data transfer. Many web hosts have more than one plan. So, if you outgrow one plan, you can upgrade to another that offers more disk space and data transfer. 4. Programming Languages such as ASP, PHP, Perl/CGI, JSP and ColdFusion are used to create a lot of popular scripts (software) to help your website function. For example, let's say you find an auction script that is written in PHP and you want to use it on a new domain name you just bought (the-best-auctions-are-here.com). In that case, you want to make sure the web hosting plan supports PHP. Also, if you are planning on selling services or products from your website, make sure the web hosting plan you choose offers some type of ecommerce solution such as a shopping cart for example. 5. Support is really important when choosing a web hosting plan. You should check to see if the web host offers "24 hours a day / 7 days a week" support whether by phone, chat or email.
