- Secondly, you will have to find out the number of the machines that is going to be sharing the same server as yours. Judge this number against the number of sharer of the other available hosting services for giving yourself a room for negotiation. It will be better for you to take the one having smaller number of users. Then you will get high speed.

- Fourthly, try to find out about the nature of the customer support that the host provides. There are many hosting services that charge you for customer support. So, try to go for the one that does not require such charges.
- Fifthly, think about the available Web space.
- Sixthly, go for the company that supplies you with virtual hosting. This lets you to use a domain name of your own.
