What to check before you sign up

Whichever web hosting provider you choose, compare these points:

Reliability. Look for providers with a published uptime guarantee and independent test results near 99.9% or better.
Renewal price. Intro prices usually require a multi-year prepayment and renew at a much higher rate. Compare the renewal price, not just the first term.
Caching and CDN. Built-in caching, a content delivery network and data centers near your visitors make pages load faster.
Help when something breaks. 24/7 chat support and one-click backups matter more than any feature list when your site goes down.
