Web hosting in perfect sense can be compared with modern day marriage, as just like that marriage one will only serve till one's uptime is 100% if it is less than that then the other tends to run away. However with little precautions and tips one can turn the relationship into prosperous and less unsteady.

Firstly one must make take little responsibility and must specify what he expects from a web host. However it's not so easy as sometimes its difficult to anticipate anything in advance and even those anticipations sometimes prove wrong. Its quite possible that ones site becomes popular and requires more bandwidth or space even more than what was anticipated earlier. Then at that moment perhaps one requires data feeds to be hosted on the website that can gulp up the resources which is quite similar to online storage. Sometimes if above problem of space does not happen then too requirement comes for changing the host due to advancement of technology.

One must not rely entirely on recommendations from his or her colleagues, as its not sure their need is similar to one's but at least some common issue like customer support, if proper or not? Uptime, if as per requirement or not? That issues can be judged easily. One must also check the web hosting blogs as those blogs contain lot of current information regarding the needs one is looking for. Just one just has to make sure about his requirements and check from that list if it is containing all.

However keeping the future prospects in mind one must look for not only the size of current sites but also the number of domains and sub domains one can host there. If one is cautious with all that then he can get the appropriate host. In summary, one must be very careful in selection of new host and must complete all his exercises required for finding a good host. If all homework is done then definitely it will mark the beginning of good and everlasting relationship just like traditional marriages.
