Hosting Truths - How to Pick a Host

If you are looking for a web host you may find the process somewhat confusing or even daunting. What's the most important factor?! Are all those claims legit? Here's a good place to start:

Don't be fooled by numbers. 100 megs? 1000 megs? 1 million megs?? Some hosts will use crazy storage and data transfer (bandwidth) numbers to lure new customers. Some of these are outright fraudulent ("for html files only, not graphics or images.") and 98% are just plain unnecessary.

The truth? 98% of our customers never come close to using their storage - not by a long shot. In fact, most of our customers only use 25-50% of their storage resources. Bandwidth? Same story - only 1 of 1,000 customers will go over their allotted bandwidth over the course of a month. What some "high-claim" hosts are selling is the appearance of value, what they're hoping for is that shoppers will just compare numbers and choose based soley on that.

How should you choose a host? Even though we spend a considerable amount of time and money on advertising and marketing, the largest source of new customers comes to us by word of mouth from current customers. Hard to beat recommendations from people that actually use the service! Here are some excerpts from just a few of the complimentary emails we've received from our customers within the last 2 weeks:

"Thank you! As a new customer I am pleased to report that I find your services excellent and particularly your NOSPAM feature. Thank you so much. Pleased to be a customer..."

"Thanks! Oneworld is the best hosting company I have ever worked with. Great features, reliability, navigation, control panels, pricing, and real live customer support. Keep up the good work."
