         THINGS YOU MUST WATCH OUT FOR BEFORE CHOOSING A WEB HOST.

• Do they offer  24/7 technical support?. What i mean by this is will they be able to work round the clock to make sure your blog does not have problem or take care of any problem when it arises to avoid losing your blog's visitors.
• Don't go with the cheapest price. I will advise you to go with free blogging platforms than to go with the cheapest hosting package. Most of the cheap web hosting packages have a lot of limitations which cannot go well with you by the time you delve fully into blogging business.
• what are the customer's reviews about the services of the web hosting company you want to host your blog with.
• Do they support a softaculous wordpress installation?. Though most of the web hosting companies offers softaculous wordpress installation because wordpress is an open source and free content management system, you have to make sure that the web hosting you want to host your blog with offers this.
