<h2>[WHAT]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] by Don Sagrott, founder @ sospep.com -&nbsp;</li>
<li><strong>] research web hosting options</strong></li>
<li>] when it comes to web hosting services and companies offering those services, you have about 1M+ options to choose from so choosing the service thats right for you can be somehat of a challenge.</li>
<li>] On a high level, one of the first things that I would look at when choosing a web host is the&nbsp;<strong>type</strong>&nbsp;of service that you will need for your web site. These&nbsp;<strong>service types</strong>&nbsp;fall into a handful of broadly defined categories outlined below.</li>
</ol>
<h2>[WHY]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] to help you determine which type of web hosting service is required for your web hosting needs</li>
<li>] for the majority of amateur/small/hobbyist web sites the most likely best option will be either 1] shared web hosting service or &nbsp;2] shared hosted service&nbsp;</li>
<li>] for pretty close to the same price you can have more capabilities by using a VPS</li>
<li>] for a small business/ecommerce web site/application you are most likely going to be looking at going with VPS, dedicted or one of the cloud based service providers</li>
