selecting a hosting provider

There are several things that you want to think about when selecting a web hosting provider. First, identify what type of connectivity does the hosting provider have to the Internet backbone. Many web hosting providers do not provide this information because they are connecting to the Internet backbone through a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), Cable, or a single T1. In addition many providers do not have an alternate connection to the Internet in the event that their main connection fails. Take a look at the Data Center where we host our servers. Also note the network equipment and protocols used as well as connections to multiple tier 1 backbone providers.

Second, you should look at the hosting plans or packages that the hosting provider is offering. If you get an unlimited amount of disk space and bandwidth for next to nothing, how can a hosting provider guarantee that you will have your disk space and enough bandwidth when you need it? By offering web hosting packages with distinct limits, techDIGITS ensures it has sufficient disk space and bandwidth for all of it's customers, all of the time. techDIGITS will never stop you from going above your disk space or bandwidth limits as all web hosting packages can be upgraded whenever needed.

Third, does the web hosting provider have a Privacy Policy posted on their website? This will inform you what the hosting provider will do with the information that you provide? See our Privacy Policy.

Fourth, is the hosting provider a member of the Better Business Bureau or other dispute resolution organization? If not, how are any complaints or disputes handled? Check our status at the Better Business Bureau.

Fifth, does the hosting provider have a SSL (Secure Sockets Certificate - https://) when your credit card or other information is being submitted over the Internet? Our web hosting order page is secure, in addition we e-mail you an invoice and have you enter your credit card information directly into our secure merchant account service website.
