1. Web space – note that this is shared webspace and should any of your neighbours exceeds their allocated webspace, this might indirectly influence your site’s performance. However, getting larger webspace would definitely help your site to store more files. Ideal for sites which host videos, images or simply large storage files.

2. Bandwidth – make sure you have sufficient bandwidth. Check your webstat software every month to see how much bandwidth your site are using. Take note that there are additional unknown users to your site that will consume bandwidth.

3. Reliability – always look for hosts that provide 99.9% uptime which would ensure your site to stay ‘open’ most of the time.

4. Speed – clock your server’s response time and see how fast your pages are loading

5. Customer support – most important as this will help you weed out bugs found in the web hosting software.
