What to consider when choosing a hosting provider:

Where you choose to host your site has an influence on your search engine ranking. Speed, reliability and reputability all play a key role in how search engines like Google will view your site. 

You will often come across companies on the web that offers Web Space at ridiculously low rates. One has to consider if they are providing a service at such a low cost, how are they making their money?  

They make their money by sheer volume of customers. These hosting providers often become overloaded, slow and attract un-reputable sites that can indirectly damage the reputation of your own site by simply being hosted by the same provider.
