Having a web host account is just purchasing virtual space on the web that will house your site. Your domain name is just the address for that space.
Several important things you will need to look for in picking a web host company are the levels of disk space and bandwidth that the account comes with.
You'll need enough disk space for your site, plus lots of additional room for email and graphics storage.
Transfer allowance is usually offered at a level of 10 times the level of disk space you get.
You'll also need to determine in advance which add-on types of programs you will be needing for features like classifieds pages or a shopping cart to sell your products from.
Lastly you are going to know about the host's service rating based on the opinions of their current clients.
This is usually simple to find by browsing their customer forum boards. Most providers keep a forum for customers to connect and they're normally open to guests for asking pre-sales requests about the service.
Learn what current clients of the service feel about it to give yourself a candid impression.
The final major factor to judge is the pricing of the host. You won't necessarily want the most or least expensive option, in-fact you may probably be looking for a price that is affordable and comparable to average among the hosts you've looked at.
The thinking here is fairly basic, if the pricing is too high then they're likely gouging people. If it's too low they're probably trimming on services that may lead to slow performance. Affordable hosting shouldn't mean cheap, it should mean quality service that's within your budget.
