The selection of the hosting service provider and the variation depends on the requirements. In addition, the reflection factor is whether you can devote enough staff and time for the administration of a root server, or even have your own hardware, and whether it’s financially well calculated. I believe that everyone should concentrate on its core competencies.

Smaller and non-critical projects, with low to medium requirements, can easily be operated with a reseller account, or a managed server. Sometimes you can earn a few dollars from smaller customers.
For critical projects, I, as a web developer, transfer the responsibilities involved in the web hosting to a selection of specialized providers. Here we take the customer out of the complete movement, but do not have to worry about the administration and maintenance of technology. The time saved can be useful for customers, the trusted partner in home use, or for the long overdue beer with an old friend.
The question is, which web hosting providers are the right one for you? There is no simple and clear answer to this issue. The requirements are so different, in engineering, consulting, service and price. If you ask one of the many players in the German market for their advise, in many cases the answer is that he is the right partner for my hosting needs. But are they reliable?

A recent survey by a consumer research company has examined, on behalf of Strato, 514 webhosting clients, for the reason they chose their web host. The most important argument for many customers is price, with 67.7 percent. The more favorable a provider, the more interesting they become for the customer. The second criterion in the choice of provider, with 42.4 percent, is safety and availability. Personal recommendations from friends and colleagues play an important role in the search for the right web host.

So far so good. The service is considered as bad, in only one in every five respondents. Really surprising, when I think that the argument, (“bad customer service”), is the main reason for changing providers. On the other hand, the apparent lack of interest speaks well for tech-savvy customers who need less and less support for their online projects.

And now my focus is on the absolute laugh of the day. The much advertised, it environmentally seems to not interest customers at all. Only 2.9 percent of respondents stated this reason for choosing their Web hosting provider.

Web hosting
I have certainly made my choice. After a brief side trip to some great web hosting companies, I have my online projects at three different regional suppliers. Hope this gave you an example of how to practically select the best web hosting provider. Now, you have to simply apply it.
