This year the most popular key words people use to find hosting providers are: 'hosting', 'web hosting', 'shared hosting', 'hosting plans', 'PHP hosting' and 'MySQL hosting'. However, last year the most popular keywords were 'free hosting' and 'free web hosting'. The quality of some free hosting services is not very low but still there is a list of disadvantages, take for example advertisement free hosting provider places on your site(s). It makes such providers unacceptable for some enterprises and companies. The reason for this lies in a chance for your web site to become a place where your competitor will show there ad. Moreover such ad banners may spoil your web site design.

If you want to choose a reliable, professional and high-quality hosting with the best up-time you should pay attention to:

1. How old the hosting provider is and for how long it has been providing its customers with hosting services.

2. Make sure, that the hosting provider you like is legitimate and registered as a legal entity. You can find such information in the 'Payments and contracts' part.

3. Take into account the number of existing customers of the hosting provider. The hosting provider which tries to hide such information is usually not very reliable. Experienced web hosting provider should provide you with at least 1000 customer's site links. These links are the way to check the level of the reliability and performance of hosting provider's servers.

4. Whether the hosting provider has not a virtual but a real office. It is advisable the office to be located not in the suburb.

5. Whether there is a phone number mentioned. It is advisable for the provider to have several phone numbers of managers and support service.

6. The hosting provider has to have its own server equipment and this equipment is to be installed in the data centres located in the same city as the office of the hosting provider is. If the data centres and office of the same hosting provider are situated in different cities or even countries, this hosting is undoubtedly not professional. Moreover, most of such hosting providers are resellers or partners of other companies and are able to guarantee you nothing.

7. What is the price for the hosting services? The minimal prices for 'php hosting' services start from $2 or so. The cheaper hosting plans don't include PHP, CGI, MySQL. Of course, it is possible to sell hosting even cheaper but in this case there would be no profit and money for equipment upgrade, research or installation of new servers. So the conclusion is that without profit web hosting is likely to lose everything.
