Getting a great web host for your site is not an easy matter. A lot depends on what you are designing it for and the niche you will be using for the site. Cost is one consideration and services (like Cpanel or Fantastico) are another. If you are designing a small business website, you may have a structure of several levels of web pages versus a niche web site with one to a few or several pages.

Low cost budgeting hosts often offer no frills hosting at a reduced cost. You can build many websites with these but be aware that may be little in terms of support or services. These type of hosts are great for smaller sites with fewer pages and represent a great value to those who are looking to develop a website quickly or who may be building lots of sites at a time.

Full service internet hosting companies offer a more rounded list of services to their customers. Some offer a la carte options where you can pick the services you want while others offer different packages at several price levels. These are great for the person who wants the extra service of "how to do" when it comes to constructing a site. Also, there are add ons such as Fantastico scripts that can be useful when building content for the site.

I utilize the services of a full service internet hosting company that includes a specific internet traffic package in with the price of hosting. Many companies offer similar package deals with everything from designing your site to offering assistance with listing your site to the search engines and more. So make sure you look around and compare packages as well as cost when considering a host.

So what's the best choice? Some factors to think about when choosing a host:

• What is my chosen niche?
• Am I building the site or hiring a professional to do it for me?
• Will I need additional services such as a blog, forum or other content?
• Will I be building a site with a few pages or will I be building a more complex site?
• What can I afford to pay for hosting services?

Your finished web site should be a good source of traffic for your business if it is selected properly. A little time planning now will save you lots of headaches later down the road. Choosing the best web hosting provider for your new web site will be easy once you take the time to scope out all the details.
