How to test the best hosting service
You can test each web hosting service by signing up and purchasing a plan to see what each hosting provider's site has to offer new users, as well as how easy it is to navigate on the dashboard. We care deeply about the support offered.
We weigh the details of what you get, (as well as what you don't) as well as the quality of the features that many customers will use, and how clear the web hosting company is about what customers get in each product.
Choose a web site hosting service that presents its products in an honest, clear, and transparent manner. In our tests, this was easy to pick up as we compared the list of features each company claims it offers, with what we actually had access to once we started using their service.
Lastly, our web host speed tests are generally based on the cheapest shared hosting plans available from the provider. Also check for general indications of the speed and uptime you are likely to experience when you finally make a decision about the best web hosting service provider for you.
How to choose a web hosting service
The world of web hosting is filled with vague-sounding jargon, and it's very hard to escape. Even deciding what kind of plan you need requires a little knowledge of technical terms (what is a VPS, again?) But don't panic: it's a lot simpler than it might seem at first.
In fact, while learning some hosting basics will help before you shop, you don't have to spend time on technical details.
If all you know about hosting is a slow but cheap shared product; VPS plans are faster and slightly more expensive; and dedicated hosting is the fastest but can cost a lot of money, so you're off to a very good start.
Customer service support is also a very important factor in choosing the right web hosting service for you. After all, if you're a beginner, you'll want the security of knowing your preferred provider will be able to provide you with a quick and useful solution to your question.
