Before you make any kind of move to a new provider, it's vital to ensure that you will be getting what you paid for. As well, you will need to figure out how much a new host can offer you in terms of value. Your new home on the web should not only be reliable, but it should be affordable and offer you everything you need to run your web site.

Value is something many web site owners struggle with. How a provider adds value is simply in how they do things and what they offer customers. If a web host promises high uptime when you sign up, but then doesn't deliver, right away you are getting less value from that company. The same is true if a host offers no site tools for you to use. A good host should offer both reliability and lots of features at a price you can afford.
