What are the most important questions i should ask a shared web host before signing up with them?
What are the most important features and what is a minimum i would want for traffic and bandwidth etc.
I am looking at starting up a site that i think will be quite popular but i am not doing any sales.
Thanks!
Start by looking for a web host that dun oversell their hosting plan. That's to say that they give you way too much goodies to be true. Or you look for a web host that does overselling but yet still manage to achieve 99.9% uptime.
Next look for the number of mySQL db and add-ons domains they give you in your hosting plan.
And if you are right about your website, with it being popular, you will be able to get your own VPS or dedicated server. It definitely beats shared hosting.
dedicated server ：

http://www.goldpuma.com is the lowest cost service which is full-featured and really works for you ($3.99 /month). They accept monthly payments.
But if you’re looking for the best service on the web, as an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.
They offer a Full-featured service only $6.95 a month. You can see their plan Details accompanied with reliable reviews regarding their service at:
