What to look for when selecting a web hosting company?

Most web hosting companies seem the same. What unique or important factors (aside from bandwidth and storage) should be considered when making a selection?

What to look for when selecting a web hosting company?
First of all, look at the price. Places like www.freewebs.com are free, but your homepage is branched off of their URL. Then, look and see how easy it is, and how much skill of HTML/CSS you have to know. Make sure the site is compatible and easy to use, and if you have to pay, read the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before submitting any personal info. I would go with www.freewebs.com, they are free and easy to use, and have a set template so you dont have to make your own.
Reply:Local support, cost and reliability. You didn't ask, but I have used digitalspace.net for years for the web domains that I maintain. They are very inexpensive $36 a year, and the support has been fantastic. Good luck.
