Finding a reliable, cheap and good web hosting company can be a daunting task in a market that is overcrowded with offers. The “cheap” part is easy, but finding a good web host you can rely on can often take a while. I know, because I have tried a lot of different web hosting companies up through the years, even run one my self. To give you a better understanding of what sets hosting companies apart from each other I will give you a “backstage” view.

A web host company really only consists of two services (from the customers point of view) and this is where the bad are differentiated from the good web host companies:

- web hosting
- support

Everything else usually goes on behind the scene. Your credit card gets charged each month, the techies at the good web hosting service stop a network attack, you really don’t care as long as your web site is up and running, and that your questions are answered or problem resolved when you contact their support department.

From the web hosting company’s perspective, these are the most expensive services to provide to the customer. Finding a good web host therefore means finding the host that does not cut in these two areas.
