So you have your domain name and you have your new wonderful website. But how are you going to get that up on the brilliant World Wide Web for all your customers to see?
But some guys aren't focused enough. They want the right service but they aren't looking for it where they should, which is in the hands of an expert. Shared Web Hosting is something you look for to avoid hassles.
These hosting plans will usually provide only one root directory for all of the domains and sites you plan to build. You will also be allowed one "primary domain". All other domains will have to be "parked" or added on to the primary domain. Without getting too technical, let's just say that some Shared Web Hosting UK scripts don't "play" well with others. And many just don't like being installed in sub-directories!
If you are planning to put up more websites, then it will be helpful to have the 'addon domains' feature. This will enable you to host multiple websites on one web hosting account without the need to incur additional costs.

Forget Testimonials at the host's page. Although we also have them and what is written are true opinions, no doubt, you have to see for yourself if the company is as reliable as it claims. Just contact them and ask for information you will need to know. "Where is their data center located?", "What happens if I exceed a bandwidth limit?", "Do you provide basic help with scripting?", "Am I going to have full control over my domain and if not do you register the domain at customer's name?" etc. Ask any question that might affect on your online business.
