Conclusion
In these modern Internet times, switching Web hosts is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Follow every step explained in this document and you should do well. On a closing note: when shopping for a new hosting provider, don’t just compare price alone. There is a lot more to Web hosting than finding the lowest, rock-bottom price.

Important issues such as availability, dependability, scalability, redundancy, fast backbone connections, emergency power generators and efficient technical support, along with knowledgeable people that truly understand your needs are all important attributes. Also look for a company that has a toll free 1-800 number, since you can rack up phone bills rapidly if you need to talk to them often, especially in the beginning.

Another important thing to look for is emergency backup power. In January 1998, the Montreal area and about one half of the province of Quebec was hit with the largest ice storm we had ever seen, resulting in a total loss of power for up to six weeks in certain parts of the province. Hosting providers that were equipped with emergency diesel generators were not affected in any way, nor were their clients.

For the past three years, this site, our SEO Help Forum as well as our Weekly SEO Newsletter have all been hosted and continue to be hosted by Avantex and we are very happy with their reliable services. If some of you would like to know the names of a few good hosting providers that I know and trust, I would be happy to recommend you some names. Just drop me a note.
