On a subdomain I have been creating a script for a client and it wasn’t until then that I realized how important it is to have a good host when you are trying to get things up and running as quick as possible. You don’t know how many times I get annoyed when I am uploading something through Dreamweaver and it is taking forever to complete. Of course when you are going at a good speed and you have to wait for the FTP to finally start working you get distracted and you loose the momentum that you once had.
To be quite honest I am a very loyal man. I am loyal to the people that I trust, the people that I like, my girlfriend, and even though they may have a less than perfect track record, companies that I have been using for years. I have been using my host for years, ever since I first put up my first page on Lep’s Lair. Back then though I didn’t realize how different hosts were. I saw someone who had it and I had gone to her site for years so I signed up without reading any web hosting reviews or anything.
If I was in the market for a new host today, things would be different. I wouldn’t just be reading reviews on their sites, I would be looking for sites specifically for host reviews. Back when I signed up, I didn’t realize how pivotal a choice of choosing web hosting could be. Really it could make or break your business. Of course back then I wasn’t really looking to start a business or anything like that, I just wanted to be able to put PHP code up, who knew years later it would turn into this big thing?
If my site gets bigger and I am making more money then I might consider switching hosts. I have been keeping up on web hosting articles, just in case I have to switch down the line.
