Please print or save the following checklist and use it to help you pick your new hosting company. These questions should be questions any hosting company you choose should be willing to answer or already have posted on your site. This list is  based on phone calls we have received from people that didn't check out there new hosting company before they bought their new web site and unfortunately didn't find these things out before they were a problem. We can't stress enough that even if you choose another web hosting company you know the answers to these questions.

		We strongly urge you to take a minute or two and research any web hosting company you are going to do business with. The #1 complaint the BBB receives is regarding internet related companies. Remember there are no consumer protection laws with web hosting companies like there is with the some other utility companies you may already deal with.  It's up to you to protect yourself. The info is easily found online and may save you hassles in the long run.
