Ever wanted to have your own site? Then you might have a nice experience with thousands of hosting packages…… There are lot of them, and not sure what to choose? Then read this.

When we consider about hosting, there are several major facts you have to consider: storage, transfer rate and of course **cost**. Let’s look at them one by one.

Storage -

Most of the personal sites are smaller than 5 MB. And if your site is larger than this, the best option would be optimizing your graphics. There are several advantages on that. The major advantage would be, your site loads fast and it is cost effective. So, in that case there is no need to go for a big storage plan. Take only much as you want!

Monthly Transfer Rate-

This is a major fact that most people mess around. There are some hosting plans which provide you about 600 MB storage and 1GB monthly transfer rate. What it means is, your web site only allows you to do transactions up to 1 GB. For example, you have a big file about 500 MB, it is completely useless because once after two people downloaded the file, your monthly transfer rate is exceeded. You site will be down for the rest of the month. So, you have to think about the monthly transfer rate twice.

Cost -

There is no point of even talking about it. But when you are going to buy a new hosting plan make sure you compare the price with other hosting companies.
