A good web design company will have the software and support necessary to assist you in building your site. The web design companies normally have the knowledge and experience of the industry necessary to give you the best advice on which hosting company to use. Some web design companies also offer web hosting as a service to boot, which is advantageous from the perspective of managing both your website design and web hosting from one source. The disadvantage of this on the other hand, is that you are then tied into one service provider. If your relationship with the web design company sours, you are then tied into using their hosting services and they might have more control over your site than you are comfortable with.

... to source a good web hosting company who will assist you in finding the right server to use for your website. The web host will then be able to help you with the other aspects of your web hosting, such as putting your site up onto the internet.

One of the most obvious benefits of working with a web hosting provider is that you will always have experienced technicians backing you up. There can be confusing technical difficulties that arise, especially when you are not very well versed in computers and the internet. Having a good, reliable web hosting provider will give you the backup you need. It is important to ensure that your hosting provider offers round the clock support. Most hosting providers will offer you email addresses with your package, and there are many technical problems that can arise with email. You will need to have a good reliable hosting support contact person who is available to assist you whenever you have a problem.

There are many web hosting providers out there, who will offer a variety of different hosting packages. Some will come with more email address options than others, and the variety of benefits can differ. It is all about shopping around and sourcing good information pertaining to your website's needs and your needs as a client.
