Whats the right web hosting provider?

To find the perfect web hosting provider you have to understand that for every single person and their websites have different needs. Below is a list of reasons you should consider when choosing your provider

• Where are the majority of my visitors coming from?
  • This is slightly less of an issue these days as you can use Cloudflare as well as optimise your website for the majority of the world.
    • Example, HBHosting is located in Australia. How long did it take to load the page for you?
• How much disk space do I really need? Do I really need that ‘Unlimited’ disk space?
  • As a web hosting provider, we can tell you the majority of websites out there are less than 500MB. As for WordPress majority are less than 2GB
    • Remember if one host offers ‘unlimited’ and one does not but they cost the same price, just think about where their priorities are, is it offering hardware that won’t be used? or offering quality support and high-end services?
• How many visitors will I get per month?
  • Majority of web hosting plans out there can handle over a million views a month. So keep that in mind when choosing which host, a good rule of thumb is this.
    • Web page size X amount of people visiting per month = how much GB you need.
• Do I need a managed WordPress host? or just shared web hosting?
  • Maybe you need something in between? HBHosting offers premium consultation support with all web hosting plans. We are able to give you advice as needed and it is up to you if you want to implement it.
• Do I need a website builder?
  • If you want to make the website yourself but do not know how to code, maybe you should look for a provider that offers a free website builder.
• Have I looked into reviews?
  • When checking out reviews make sure to check more than one reputable source. For example, WebHosting Talk or TrustPilot.
