If you open up Google and do a search on the `asp .net web hosting`, more than many million web pages appear as a result. With that much competition, is it quite easy to get lost while searching for a asp .net web hosting company and assessing which are the most important items to take into account. The most important items are: 1. The asp .net web hosting company must check their servers. The larger part of the asp .net web hosting industry is based on reselling server space to someone else. If the company you select don`t own the space, it could happen that when you wish to move to a new company for any reason, you depend on their will to help you. This in reality happened to me several years ago when the asp .net web hosting provider with which I was cooperating was very useful, but was sold and after that, when I wished to move a customer to a different asp .net web hosting, the provider don`t even replied my emails. It is very problematic to move a large web-site without having root access, but I had to do it. Although I lost numerous days and it was very sorrowful, the migration even wasn`t perfect. Now I own a VPS (and root access to it) and my life is OK. If you are really on a budget and can`t afford a VPS, go for a shared asp .net web hosting like HostGator, which is a reputable company. 2. Don`t let your asp .net web hosting provider own your domain. Your domain is your brand on the Internet network. Moreover, when you acquire links to your website you force traffic from them to your domain, not to your asp .net web hosting. If you lose your domain, all the traffic that came from those hard earned links are lost in an instant. If the asp .net web hosting company proposes you a domain name for free, make sure that the email of the administrative contact is an email that you control and you have a control panel where you can see the ownership of your domain. 3. Avoid Free asp .net web hosting Of Any Kind. Free asp .net web hosting is wonderful for your resume or to tell the history of your dog, but when you are commencing a business, even a little one, it is very essential to have your own domain because if your page is hosted at someone`s else domain, when you acquire links to your page, you become dependant on your asp .net web hosting provider because if in future you choose to have your own domain, all the links you got will still be pointing to the asp .net web hosting provider which will lean on all the traffic that should have been yours. 4. Seek a asp .net web hosting With Good Support. It takes many YEARS to entirely comprehend all the issues of the asp .net web hosting platforms. Even many net business professionals with 10 years in business don`t entirely comprehend all the options they have in their control panel. So, if you are a newbie, you could be in big trouble practically all the time if your asp .net web hosting doesn`t give you manuals, advice or help you to fulfill technical tasks. Think of that you bought a asp .net web hosting to make money, not to lose your time with technical things.
