Web Hosting by is a service that allows one to host his/her own web pages on the Internet. A web host, which is also called hosting service provider (HSP), is a business that provides the technologies and services needed for websites and blogs to be viewed on the web.

So basically Web Hosting provides provides a physical location in which a web site (or a blog) resides. Customers’ websites are stored on computer servers located in secure and climate-controlled environments and permanently connected to the Internet through high-speed data lines.

But there are many companies providing web hosting which makes it utterly difficult to chose the best one. In this article I would focus on some points and tips you need to remember while choosing your webhost carefully.

As the world is highly competitive and Professional Blogging is also rising, so you can’t afford the loss of your readers at the cost of server downtime. I have four Criteria for Web Hosting which I would like to share:

* Server Uptime
* Features Offered
* Hosting Control Panel
* Customer Support

* Server Uptime is the time in which your site is loaded on client browser. The better is the server uptime, the faster a site will open. Server Uptime basically means that Server is awake. So higher the server uptime more is the availability of your website on internet.

Tip1: Choose a Server with minimum downtime

* Features Offered will include the facilities provided by the host to the website owner. As there have been can cases that some compatiblity issues arrive because of lack of features in your web host. I know you dont want to suffer because of this.

So Tip 2 is: Go for good featured web hosting to have a better control and navigation

* Cpanel or Hosting Control Panel is a very important part of the hosting server. It should provide you the basic option like MY SQL, PHP etc. But oe more thing is that it should be easy to understand. I have seen some Cpanel really Jittery which makes work difficult

Tip3: Go for Clean and Cluttered cpanel.

* Customer Support is a major decision factor. How well the Hosting Comapny handles your problems makes major difference in choosing you web host.

Tip4: Find the Customer Reviews. They are the the best judge of hosting companies. For more info on web hosting refer web hosting guide.

I hope these simple points and tips will help you choose the Best Web Hosting for Websites & Blogs.
