Choosing a host for your website is never easy.
There are just so many unknowns when it comes to finding a host.
It's hardly ever possible to walk into a web host's office, look around, meet the proprietors, and get a feel for whether or not you'd like to do business with these people.
For the most part, you'll make your decision using whatever information you can find online.
Start out with the company web site of the host you are considering. Is it professionally designed and written? Typo's and spelling errors may signal that this is a company ran by kids or amateurs. Is the website easy to use? Is it designed with a view towards properly supporting their customers? Are help materials available online? This should give you a flavor for whether the company is client oriented. Where is the company located? Is there an address? Can you email them? Look at the Terms of Service. Does your prospective web host clearly spellout what may be expected of them and what is expected of you? Every deal is different, but both parties should clearly know what the deal is.
Next, do a search for the company on Google. Are you finding any negative statements? Try different searching techniques, like typing the company name followed by the word "scam", or by the words "poor support".
Now, try contacting their customer support department. Do you get a fast reply?
If you follow these simple suggestions, your chances of signing up with an excellent web host increase substantially.
