Whether your business is a well-established powerhouse or just barely getting off the ground, you’re going to need a professional, functional and inviting website. No matter what business you’re in, it’s essential to have at least a minimum presence on the internet. Trying to conduct business without that presence places your organization at a great competitive disadvantage.

This guide, and the accompanying tool, courtesy of TechRepublic Premium, offers a side-by-side comparison that will help you sort through the options.

COMPARISON CHECKLIST INSTRUCTIONS

The web hosting services comparison tool organizes features into two sections — tangible and intangible.

Tangible: In this section, features are either offered by the prospective service provider or they are not. It includes obvious considerations like cost, uptime, email accounts and storage. Depending on your business needs, the lack of a certain feature in this category could eliminate a provider from consideration.

The download comprises a four-page PDF and spreadsheet.

Previously priced at $49, this is now available to download for $9. Or free with Premium annual subscription: click here to find out more.
