Used with author's permission.&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;!-- AdCentsPro --&amp;gt;   &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;These days, web hosting companies are popping up faster than dandelions.  And just like those pesky weeds, they usually arent going to benefit your business at all.  So how do you pick out one hosting company for another for that big Internet move?  Below Ive provided you some quick ways to sift out the sheep from the wolves.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;1.	Traceable Testimonies - Many web hosting companies provide a testimony page.  Good web hosting companies will actually link to the person who said what is posted.  If there is no link, it is possible that the hosting company simply made up the testimony.  You dont want to be involved with a company with questionable integrity.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;2.	Testing Quick Response Claims - Testing out the response of a web hosting company is easy: email them.  They should provide an email address or at least a feedback form.  Ask a simple question about their service, and see how fast they respond.  Compare that with what they have advertised as their response time.  See how they measure up.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;3.	Online Help or Ticketing System - Some hosting companies may even offer and online ticketing/helpdesk.  While you may have to be a customer to actually use it, just the fact that it is available is a good sign.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;4.	Sense of Community  Good web hosts still have problems.  Honest web hosts will be open and (of course) quick to resolve them.  Many hosting companies now offer online forums  a place for their customers and potential customers to post questions, comments, testimonies, and complaints online.  Really good hosting companies will not only answer these questions, but theyll supply educational posts that may answer similar future questions.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;5.	WHOIS  Taking a quick visit over to www.whois.sc will reveal a lot of information about your web host.  Besides giving you some technical information, youll also find out just how many websites are running on that server.  Remember, more websites doesnt always equal better company.  You certainly want to make sure the server isnt bogged down!&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;This is a good place to also make sure that the host isnt on any blacklists.  Blacklists usually mean that there are documented reports of spam coming FROM that server, and thats not good at all!&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Whether you are a first-time hosting purchaser or a hosting refugee (thats what I call those people who bought hosting from a fly-by-night hosting company, and their website is now AWOL), I hope that these tips will help you save some future headaches and maybe even a little money, too.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;  About the Author&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Will Hanke is a self-proclaimed geek who owns and operates Lighthouse Technologies (&amp;lt;a target=&amp;quot;_new&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;http://www.techlh.com&amp;quot;&amp;gt;http://www.techlh.com&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;), a web development and hosting company based in Arnold, Missouri.
