Questions you must ask your Hosting provider!

It is recommended that you must always ask the following questions before Hosting your websites:-

1) Do you provide 24x7 support? through Live chat,Email, phone-support, etc.?
Ans:Type of support provided by hosting provider is very important. A simple method for checking the hosting company’s level of support is to call their phone support line and see if you can reach to them , or to simply them send an email inquiring about a hosting package and compare their response time to that of other companies.

2) Type of back-up systems do you offer?
Ans:In addition to this backup, you should ask them what is the fees for back-ups and how often they take backup of their servers.

3) 30 day money back guarantee?
Ans:If you have paid a set-up fee, and end up changing the hosts as you were unhappy with them, you may find yourself a few hundred dollars out of pocket. Only few reputable hosts offer a 30-day money back guarantee incentive, which also shows their confidence in their own hosting service.

4) How many connections to the ISP do you have currently running in to your facilities?
Ans:Some hosts will have at least 2 connections running into their data center. This is also very important: Because if in case 1 ISP line is getting cut you won't experience any downtime.

5) How much time it will take for server setup?
Ans:As this will vary with the urgency of your website project, a host that says it will take a week or longer to setup your server is not recommended . If they are that slow getting you online, it’s very doubtful that they can provide you with bad support.

Note:If any of the hosting provider refuses to provide the above services than there is a possibility of getting bad support and you will always keep on facing some or the other problems.
