A web host is some thing which handles your website and is the heart of the website, after buying a domain the first thing you do is to buy a web host. You can Google for good web hosts or even find them from your friends, We have also seen many sites on web host reviews

Free Web Hosting is also a good way to handle a website, Free web hosting is used by beginners for their use of small websites.

People also want to start web hosting business, They can be done by buying a Reseller Hosting or a VPS or a Dedicated server.

Some reputed companies which I know for a dedicated server are:

1) www.softlayer.com

2) www.theplanet.com

3) www.leaseweb.com

4) www.fdcservers.net

5) www.pacificrack.com

If you are selecting a web hosting, You must know the background of the host. The following points help a bit in recognizing it.

- How many customers are served by them ?

- Do the offer e-commerce shopping carts or CMS for your orders ?
