How to Choose a Web Host

Finding the right host for your website might be confusing if you have no previous experience in this area, so here are some rules of thumb to keep in mind:
  • Never use one of those “free” web hosts….they are only free because they are going to litter your website with banner ads and pop-ups that may even be for your competitors. You have a website because you want potential customers to spend time on YOUR website, not so they can click away to someone else’s website within the first few seconds. Why give away your business? These freebies also look cheap and can undermine the credibility of your business in the eyes of customers.   read more...
