We can help you find a web hosting service that will fit your needs.

Factors to consider when evaluating a web hosting provider...

Speed of server
How fast can users access your web site? If a user has to wait to long, you will lose them.
You may want to compare several host.

Uptime Guarantee
You may think that this is rare, but all hosts have downtime. Find out their track record and compare that to your needs.

Switchability
You want to have the ability to switch web hosts if need be. Do not sign a contract that locks you in for more than a few months and make sure that you retain the rights to your domain name.

Disk Space
This is the amount of space you will have on the server to store your web pages. Space ranges from 5MB on up. Start out small and make sure that you will have the ability to get more space as your site grows.

Bandwidth
This is the amount of information that can pass though any given point at a given time. It is best to find a server that can give you unrestricted bandwidth, so that your pages will flow uninterrupted.

Data Transfer
This is the amount of information that is downloaded from a website. For example, let's assume all of the data (pictures, text, buttons) on your homepage totals 25KB (the size of Yahoo's homepage). If a thousand people viewed your homepage you'd have 25MB total data transfer for that month (25KB multiplied by 1000).

E-mail Accounts
This feature varies from 1 to many depending on host. Get at least as many as you need. Other e-mail issues are forwarding, auto-responders and aliases.

FP extensions
If you plan to use FrontPage to create and manage your site, the server should have the required files on our server to support your copy of FrontPage. These server files are called the FrontPage extensions, and are a necessary component for using FrontPage with a Web server.

Other features SSL (Secure Socket Layers), ASP (Active Server Pages), .NET, CGI (Common Gateway Interface), Database Access, Use of Subwebs, Ecommerce Availability...
