How do you make a final selection? Like many decisions, choosing a Web hosting provider often comes down to budget and features. Begin your search by making a list of your requirements. How much disk space and bandwidth do you need? What about programming languages? Do you require phone support, or are you happy receiving help via email? If you have a small budget, are you willing to compromise on customer service? Is it critical that your Web site never goes down — or are a couple of minutes of downtown here and there acceptable?
Carefully examine the features listed on the Web sites of the providers you're considering, and call to ask any additional questions. Remember to consider not only your current hosting needs, but also your future requirements. And don't forget to ask for references or talk to organizations similar to your own that are using the host you are considering.
Most importantly, don't give up — and don't leave your Web site in a precarious situation. There are a lot of hosting providers out there, and navigating the options may seem daunting. But with a little research, you can find an affordable provider that will help ensure that your Web site is up and running when your donors and constituents come calling.
