You can't really know which web hosting company

is good enough until you find out.

But this is how to know.

1. It is safer to do business with web hosting

companies that have been there

for a while. At least 3 years old.

2. Write them and see how long it takes

them to reply your mail. It will give you

an idea of what their support is like.

3. Find out on forums if anyone has used their services

before and what their experiences are.

4. Cost shouldn't be your first consideration

if you want your web site to always be online.

However, there are a lot of good web hosting

companies in Nigeria

whose cost are not prohibitive. Average cost for

a small business web hosting should cost

Between N3000 and N5000.

5. Find out the kind of control panel. Cpanel is the best and

most popular. The reason is because it is user friendly

so if you are new with web hosting, go for Cpanel.

6. Always discuss the kind of website you want to

host so that they can tell you which of the package

is best.

7. Never go for free web hosting. Nothing is free

online eventhough "FREE" is the most popular

word online. You will end up with

annoying adverts on your site. Despite the fact

some will tell you there will be no advert on your website.

8. Support is very important. You should test them for 2-4 times

both on phone and email to be sure they are responsive.

You will never know how important this could be

until you experience your first downtime.

Good Luck.
