Which web host?

Hi guys,
Just wondering, when it comes to choosing web host,do you have any requirement like this also that you want to go for US/UK or any particular country based web host only? If yes, why?

Hey,
Try looking at http://webhostingtips.info

Good advice there, and nice site, John!

Do you two guys know each other? (How do you know he is called John)

If i was you (and i say this advisably for the benefit of the wider audience), I would choose a host based on :-

- Size of company and number of years in operation. I would go for the big boys rather than the mom n pop companies.
- Service providers rather than resellers
- A company with several ways to connect to the net.
- Service offering , control panels, scripting solutions, database backends, terminals, remote control,bandwidth etc
- Cost relational to service (don't go for cheap cowboys)
- Research the company and make sure it has visible records and you can see complaints,lists of directors etc etc against them.
- Uptime of 50 sites can be seen on netcraft
- Geographical location is gas (mind my language)
- Some of these big boys offer Frontpage, Netfusion and a host of other free software at no cost.
- Read their terms of service, ensure they have help pages etc
