Be sure your host allows easy upgrading later on. If you need more storage space, or more bandwidth capacity, or add on features such as shopping carts or database capabilities, your host should be able to accommodate you without any downtime or the necessity of moving your site from one location to another.That way you only pay for services you actually need, and you will have the flexibility to expand your account as greater needs are required. If you need additional services later, you can buy them then.

Normally an entry level web hosting package will include up to 100MB of storage space and 10GB of monthly transfer capacity. This is more than enough for most personal sites or small business sites. Personal web hosting packages like this are available for as little as $1.95/mo. with no initial setup fees.Another thing often not included in a personal package is database support. You may intend to run a forum, shopping cart, photo gallery, or one or more of the hundreds of low cost programs you can add to your site. If so, be sure to check if it requires a database. Often the database required is MySQL.
