Depending on what you are wanting to accomplish on your web site depends on the type of hosting you need to look for. This is very crucial! Not all servers are setup alike.
For just a basic web site, you need to look at the amount of disk space, bandwidth (depending on how many visitors you anticipate visiting your web site daily, you will need to have adequate bandwidth for them and for your data transfer to your server) and whether the hosting company provides email (and how many email boxes it will provide). Also, if the hosting provider does provide email, you need to find out if they also have a provision for "web mail" so you can obtain you emails through a web browsers if need be.
If you are going to have streaming audio/video on your web site, you will need a special server setup to handle this. Most typical web servers that are setup to host web sites are not setup to also handle streaming audio/video.
You will need to decide if you want to use PHP or ASP coding. PHP is available on both Windows and Apache servers, but ASP is only available on a Windows server. Theses servers are setup entirely different.
Then you will need to decide if you need a database to work along with your web site. If you have need of a
shopping cart, you will definitely need a database.
The hosting company will need to provide you a way to your Stats (statistics). This is a crucial tool in finding out how many visitors are coming to your web site, what keywords they are using to find you in the search engines, and where your visitors are coming from.
