Choosing a web hosting company
4. Traffic Analysis Report:
A good traffic analysis report is necessary in order for one to keep an eye on how many visitors the web site is receiving and where these visitors are coming from. Some companies offer excellent statistics
programs as standard, while others offer basic statistics, but one has to pay extra for an advanced service.
5. FTP Access:
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) access is critical and is required to transfer files. One should not consider a web hosting company that limits or restricts FTP access to your site.
6. E-Mail:
Almost all web-hosting companies offer email accounts as part of their hosting package. Before signing up with a company consider how many accounts one needs and if one needs to access the accounts remotely (from a web based application).
