COMPARE WEB HOSTING OFFERS PROVIDED BY ALIENS FROM THIS GALAXY

Few people realize that the internet is the means for aliens to take over planet earth, and convert carbon based life forms into small chunks of data which can be easily photoported to the mother ship. Most alien life forms are in the form of "energy bundles" which travel over time and space. Upon arrival on planet earth, our alien neighbors were dismayed to find a distinct lack of an appropriate transportation infrastructure, and therefore planted the idea of the internet in a few strategic places. They can now move freely among us without raising suspicion. You will soon be joining them, so choose your "web hosting provider" carefully. You will someday call it home.

WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A WEB HOSTING PROVIDER?

	Disk Space: Disk space is the amount of storage space that you need for all your files and databases.  Disk space is cheap these days so you can expect to get Gigabytes of space instead of Megabytes. How much disk space comes with your plan? If your site is mostly text pages, then your disk space requirements will be minimal. If you have a database and lots of data, you want to make sure you have room to grow.
	Allowed Bandwidth: This is the amount of bandwidth that you can use. It is usually specified per month. Every time someone views one of your pages, they use your bandwidth. Typically, the larger your file size and the more graphics you have, the more bandwidth you use. Unless you have a very high traffic site, you will never come close to using your allotted bandwidth.
	Shell Access:  The GUI interfaces are nice and often save time, but if you are on a linux system (and you should be), don't sign up for a plan that doesn't allow you shell access.
	Platform: Which Operating System does the provider offer? If you are used to using Microsoft and develop your pages with Microsoft development tools, then you should make sure your prospective hosting provider offers Microsoft support. The most popular platforms are Linux or Unix environments as they are considered more stable and secure than Microsoft's IIS server.
	Email: Do you need a lot of email addresses? Some providers allow you a large number of addresses that are associated with your domain and provide you with both pop and smtp servers to point your MX record to. Others web hosting providers offer email forwarding, which simply means that your website email will be forwarded to a main account.
	Available Applications: What applications do you need to support your site? Are scripting languages supported? Do you have access to a database? You should be allowed multiple databases, and today's plans have a ton of other free software that you can install and use that will take your site far beyond your wildest dreams. Check to see if the hosting provider offers open source applications; these are more likely to be cheap or free.
	Technical Support:  - Even if you are a guru, there will be times when you need to avail yourself of the hosting company's technical support. If your site needs to be up all the time, you need
