Things To Consider While You Opt For Any Host

i have compiled some points for newbie. I am sure it will help new marketers to choose good host for their business.

1) Free Host Or Not: I am not going to debate whether such host are reliable or not, but just remember free host tends to down fast compared to other host. And they won't guaranty you, great uptime.

2) See whether your host has Cpanel: Though Cpanal has noting to do with your website, but other web management like emails, backups are very well handled by Cpanel. So prefer host which offers latest Cpanel.

3)Fantastico: This application let's you install many scripts with ease like Wordpress, joomla, php nuke. So prefer webhost with Fantastico.

Please share our views on this, add your points.
