You must know your needs before you buy a web host. A web host is a computer server using a unique IP address. Why do you buy a web hosting service? Because you need to store web pages and to store web pages, you need disk space. Before choosing any web host, you need to consider disk space a host is providing, bandwidth, databases, FTP accounts, email addresses (POP accounts), web based email interface, dedicated IP, control panel, add multiple domains and websites, SFTP, shell access, email filters, email aliases, auto responders, PHP 5, CGI scripts, graphical statistics, with and without www URLs, .ht access control, Java SDK, mod_rewrite, access to log files, access to script errors, set up account within 24 hour, 24×7 support, automated monitoring, value added services, 99.9% up time, satisfaction guarantee of 60 days, high speed network, customized 404 etc. Among all these, two essential capabilities are the disk space the host is providing and the bandwidth it is offering. A web page is a combination of web page files (scripts and tags), images, sounds, emails etc. The amount of disk space required depends upon the number of files you have. Remember! All files, images, sounds, emails etc. Most of the web sites use re-usability of the header images to save the disk space. It means you need to store logo file once on the disk space and it will be reused on all pages. Similarly, many scripts are reusable to save the disk space. Most of the websites on the Internet use less than 10 MB of the disk space.
