Webhosting providers often come from via a suggestion by your website designer. In fact, many webmasters require that if you use a webhosting company of their choice or their own dedicated in-house server. Many webmasters claim to have major compatibility and access issues if they have to work with a secondary host outside their network.
For instance, if you were to develop a new website using a free or low cost website development system, you would be likely to find your webhosting to be with the company that allowed you to develop the site using their exclusive tools.
If a webhosting service is preferred by your website designer, it may be in your best interest to verify the overall webhosting provider's functionality. Also, look at the perceived reliability of the webhosting service before you give the ok to move forward with that prodiver. You can have a web designer develop a great website, but could drive customers away because of frequent online outages and other reliability problems.
The best case scenario is the combination between web design functionality and accompanying webhosting services. Regardless, you should always check the credentials of the website designer as well as the webhosting providers capabilities for your current and future website needs.
Unfortunately many webhosting providers completely overload their servers to save money and often run into recurring periods of downtime. Does your webhost provide sufficient bandwidth to allow for website growth, or do they make bandwidth easy to upgrade to?
Some websites experience rapid growth, but by having a webhosting provider that is not capable of keeping up with the traffic demands it's a major issue.
Most webhosting providers have system contingencies in place to manage the growth of your website needs. However, don't take these things for granted. Make sure to ask questions so you can make an informed decision about the quality, reliability and effectiveness of the webhosting service you select.
