One of the most important things that you should consider when choosing web hosting is technical support. Getting support when you really need it is a plus. Take note of the technical support number to determine if it is a toll-free or a long distance number. Getting technical support using a long distance phone number can be expensive. Always research different hosting companies and compare the services and the prices, which vary with each company.

When choosing web hosting, you should consider the functionality of the control panel. If the control panel is not user-friendly, you can have a difficult time maneuvering your way around. You should be able to make simple changes without the need of tech support. There are some hosting companies that use Plesk or cPanel, which are third party control panels. Others have their own custom made control panel, which is usually a better option. Some of the hosting companies that have their own control panel include GoDaddy and Dream host.
