It sounds great at the outset to have “free unlimited bandwidth” for your website, but usually this is a red-flag. Offers of unlimited bandwidth often come with a hidden price, such as frequent downtime and slow service. You might use a ton of bandwidth to make your website as sophisticated as possible, but it won’t do you any good if no one can access your site. In order to avoid scaring away potential customers with frustratingly slow page loads, find a web host that offers the speed you need.

If you’re just starting out, you probably don’t have the budget to hire a programmer to code your website. Search for web hosts that offer modular, user-friendly design features, like DigitalServer.mx. There should be enough variety so that your website doesn’t end up looking cookie-cutter. And if you do eventually want to hire a programmer to customize your site, make sure the web host service is just as useful for professionals as it is for novices. Look for mention of a script library and raw access logs at the very least.

Your business might be a solo venture at this point, but bear in mind the possibility of future expansion. Does the web host offer a flat fee for a limited amount of features? Or will you be able to expand your website in the future (by adding additional domain names and e-mail addresses, for example) while paying only for what you need? Familiarize yourself with the payment scheme and make sure the growth your site will be able to keep up with the growth of your business.
