Searching for a good web host consist of Five stages , let’s explain one by one .
First : searching for a good web hosting offer in web host talk forums
Open the shared web hosting offers section in web host talk forums , you will now find lot of offers , just search for someone good that it’s price is suitable for you .
For example I’ve found a thread title like that :
Now open it .
You will find some information about this web host .
As you see , this company offers 50 GB disk space , and 500 GB bandwidth with unlimited features for only $4.95/Month
I think the price is pretty good according to it’s features .
This is the first step .
Second : Searching the web host domain in whois domain .
As we see , this company domain is : turnkeyinternet.net , now copy this domain and go to : whois.domaintools.com , and then put the domain name and click Lookup ..
This is step is an important step , to know how old is this web host , how many domains it host , how many server they have … etc .
Now after clicking on Lookup , you will find some information like this :
This web host company is 5 years old , from 2004 , and the web host company owner’s information is in front of you , you can contact him if you found any problem .
Now click on Registration tab above …
As you see , there are at least 4 server in this web hosting company , maybe there is more for their users only , and as you see , this server is hosting 635 domain name . ( the more domain are hosted , the more guaranteed is this company )
Third : See The Website Alexa Rank and Google Page Rank .
They are also effective methods to know how popularity is this company .
Go to Alexa.com , write the domain name turnkeyinternet.net , and then click Lookup sites :
This website is rank 89,292 , it very good , and give you more guaranteed that this web host is will known web host . ( try not to buy from web host companies that their Alexa rank more than 300 k )
Now we have to know Google Page Rank , Go to : prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php
put the web host domain : turnkeyinternet.net , and then click check PR :
The web site will ask you to put the captcha code , just write what do you see in the image and then click Verify Now ..
As you see , this domain of the web host that you pick is having Google Page Rank 5 , it is excellent page rank , this also gives you more guaranteed that this web host is good one .
Fourth : Is it offers money back guaranteed or not ?
Be sure that this web host gives money back guaranteed , as this step is important to get your money back if you are not satisfied with their service .
Fifth : Reading Users Reviews .
It is the most important step , you must read lot of user reviews , and see how many say it is good web host company , and how many say it is bad one
How to get users review for any company ?
Simply go to google , write : company name review
for example , I will write turnkeyinternet review
You will find lot of results talking about this web host , try to read only the reviews in forums , not in web sites .
If you found lot of users say that it is good , no bad issues , no problems , good for personal websites , they have good VPS , Then you are safe now to buy from it , just get back to the web host talk forum , and open again the web host post , and start contact with the owner , asking him any question if you need .
If you found lot of reviews saying that it is a bad web host , not good .. etc , As we mentioned in step four , you have for example 30 day money back guaranteed , as you can get what you paid after 30 day , so you will lose nothing if you try it , if it is good just stay with them , if it is bad , get your money back .
