For me I could not even set up my first website because I couldn't figure hosting out, I was hosting with a big public hosting company and I couldn't get help or figure it out...

Most hosting companies are the same in price and value. Support is what gets you going quickly, keeps you going, and helps you make sure you have everything setup tools, software and everything that other companies wouldn't bother with.

Sure hosting just keeps your website on the internet but what else does it do and why is it important? I have hosted with quite a few website hosting companies and there are several things you want to look for when looking for hosting.

1. Great support... I mean GREAT SUPPORT, If you have never setup hosting for a website before you need this! hosting takes a little technical knowledge.
2. A company that will make their hosting the way you want it... What do I mean? a company that is not too big that they can't change something to make it easier for you. Most hosting companies are too big and public and to structured if you will... this makes it hard to get extra tools and features that come along with the hosting.
3. extra tools and solutions. Some of those include autoresponders, fantastico which is in the cpanel.
4. obviously good value for the price.... a good amount of bandwdith>>> the amount of space you get on your website.

Those are important. Good value, extra features, personalization and great support.... Support is probably one of the most important factors when it come's to hosting.

Hosting, What's Really Important For You and Your Business?

I am sure everyone agrees that customer support is always important. But until you have hosted with several different companies you really don't know how important it is.

Hosting...? Is it really that important?

See I'm really not a technical person that's why it was difficult.

So remember...
