·the
required hosting hardware
and software to properly host your website on the Internet (storage, bandwidth,
server software, reliable high speed Internet connection, backup power supply,
etc.).
·the
support and services that complement your technical capability to design and
build a successful website.
·all
the above at a cost effective price.Notice
that I did not say cheap price.
The hardware and hosting software are a given since it is necessary for your website to function on the Internet.
The important part of the definition is the support and services and the TRUE cost for the whole package. These are what make the difference between success and failure.
How do you determine the best
web host?
First, define the
mission of your website. Second, match the strengths of the web host to the
requirements you expect from it. Third, match your technical abilities
against the support the web host provides.
Don't get bogged down in how many gigabytes of
disk space a host provides or how much bandwidth you get. That really doesn't
matter. They all provide about the same for about the same price.
What matters is your success! The best
web host is the one that helps you succeed.

Once you define the mission of your web site, then do the research
to find the best web host to host your website.
Remember - all web hosts are not all things to all
people.
The best web host will be the host that satisfies the mission that you
have defined for your website at the most economical price (notice that I did
not say “lowest price”). The lowest price may not get you the quality
that you need.
