What should you look for when evaluating web hosting companies? Some of the criteria to consider are the age of the business, company size, price, customer service, features, and uptime. No single criterion is more important than another, except as it relates to your needs.
The most common mistake is to judge hosting companies solely on price. The difference between most company's prices are insignificant.
