A hosting account can make or break a website.  An unreliable hosting account can cause the website to crash regularly, loosing customers and viewers.  Regardless of what type of website you have, be it a blog, social network, basic informational site, or bartering site, losing viewers is never beneficial.  How do you go about choosing the right hosting account for you?  Here is a handy guide for picking the right software.

Factors to Consider
There are many factors to consider when making this vital decision.  The first factor is cost.  Look at the budget for your company and determine how much money you can afford to spend on a hosting account.  No account should be ridiculously overpriced, but if you have the budget you may look into purchasing an account with more features.  This brings me to the next point: features.  How many features do you need?  Email addresses, subdomains, and other features vary between accounts.  Figure out what you need before buying.  Next, look at service. Without a good support and service team problems cannot get fixed.  And let’s face it, the internet is full of problems we need to overcome.  Finally, look for the amount of RAM.  This depends on what type of web software you are hosting.  You need more RAM for more complex sites.
