2. The plan must include enough space for your website, but too much space is pointless unless you plan on enlarging your site.

3. The plan should include enough bandwidth to insure each visitor will be able to enjoy your site.

4. The plan must support the types of files your site is built in. For example if your site has aspx or php pages a plan that does not support those file types would be pointless.

5. If you designed your site using a program such as Microsoft Front Page you must make sure the hosting plan supports Front Page Extensions. 

6. If you want your site to incorporate mail accounts make sure the plan offers enough mail accounts to fit your needs. For example if your company has 10 employees a plan with 5 mail accounts would not do. 

7. The hosting provider should be reliable. As a rule more than 1% server downtime is unacceptable. A good hosting provider will have around 99.6% server uptime.

8. If you plan on using the plan for a retail site or any business the will need to collect credit card information such as a shopping cart, the plan should support SSL (secure server).

9. If you plan on managing your site, the plan should include a control panel. This will make it possible to manage your site easily.

10. Technical support is one of the most important parts of a plan. No matter if your an expert or beginner, technical support will always come in handy.
