The third consideration is COMPANY REPUTATION
9. Hosting Provider Exist More Than Three Years
I personally don’t want to waste time testing the quality of a hosting provider whose reputation has not been well established and usually less than three years old, because it is riskier.
And never buy hosting from a provider that doesn’t even have a business address.
Choose a provider that has clearly proven to be good, not only based on the reputation they have built, and they are confident in including their business address.
10. Have a lot of positive customer reviews
Another way to find out the quality of a cheap web hosting for small business is to read customer reviews.
Happy customers will usually explain their good experience at least on the social media hosting provider. Or you can easily find detailed reviews on blogs that discuss hosting.
Look for reviews based on customers who have actually used the hosting, because a good review is a review from user to user.
As for customers who are disappointed, they are usually more motivated to tell many people the reason, it’s just bad!
Reputable web hosting company would have their existence in social media. Just browse through it, you will find how happy their customers are.
