With the ever increasing popularity of Joomla it's becoming more important to find a hosting company that is Joomla friendly. The first step in starting any new site is picking the right system to run it on. The next step is finding the right hosting company. When you're looking for a Joomla host there are a few basic steps to follow. These are the main things to keep in mind while you search for your Joomla templates company. Be careful to find a good host, you want to avoid downtime. That can kill a site faster than anything.
The first step to take is going to a search engine and seeing what you can find. At this point you've probably now found thousands of different ptotential hosts. Now you have to figure out how to narrow this list down. Your next step in the process is some research.
Here are a few things to keep in mind while doing research. This is the most important step.
- Forums are great places to find a lot of people talking about web hosting. Make sure to visit a couple and look for threads about your host. If you find one don't be afraid to ask for more details. If you don't, start your own thread. The whole point of forums is to share info, so don't worry about annoying anyone.
- Find review sites that talk about different hosts. These sites often allow users to submit comments so you can get a lot of reviews on any host quickly.
- Don't listen to anything you read on affiliate sites. They don't vet any hosts by quality, it's all about the money they get from referring you and they will tell you anything they can to get you to sign up. Unfortunately some of these sites are often disguised as review sites.
