How to choose a Web Hosting provider?

Customer Support
Make sure your web hosting provider offers top-notch 24X7 customer support. Any time your website may have an issue, you need to fix it quickly. You cannot wait until your web hosting service provider resolves your issue. So the point is if they offer support via multiple channels like Text/Video tutorials, phone, live chat, and/or email. Check their support website does that look like an abandoned one with a few articles for the sake of having it? Or that is well organized with different categories having how-to videos. It shows how much they care about support services for clients.

Price
When choosing the right hosting plan for your website, you must keep in mind that web hosting is not a one-time cost; it is a subscription-based billing model. So make sure that you’re OK with the cost of the plan before moving forward. While many new website owners can be just fine with the cheapest type of hosting plan, some may find it well worth spending extra for additional features and higher bandwidth. So make sure the value of the plan matches the price you’ll be paying.

Bandwidth and Storage
Ideally, the hosting plan is the one that offers unlimited bandwidth. So, the higher the bandwidth is, the better it will be. Similarly, the more storage space you get, the better it is. Where storage is a self-explanatory term that determines the amount of website content you can store, this website content typically includes text, images, code, databases, and even emails.

SSL Certificate
SSL is a security certificate that creates an encrypted connection and establishes trust. It adds a padlock icon before your URL and puts that added “S” in HTTPS.

When selecting a web hosting provider, consider factors like uptime reliability, server performance, customer support quality, scalability options, security features, pricing plans, and user-friendly interface. Researching reviews, comparing packages, and understanding your website's needs can help you make an informed decision that aligns with your goals and budget.
