When choosing a host for your new server, you always want to do a bit of searching first. You don't just want the host with a huge amount of memory for a low price; you want a host with a great support, with fast ticket-replies, and who help you when something goes wrong. Don't just use the host everyone else is using, or the host your friends tell you is awesome. You need to take your time, and find the host that is best for you. Say you are doing a Pretty intense RPG server, you are going to need a bit more memory than say a Survival server; so you would need to get a larger host package. I highly suggest you get a package with lets say 20 slots for the first few months you are running your server, that way it does not cost too much; and if you decide running a server is too difficult, you wont have lost as much money as say if you had bought 40 slots. That way you can start small, and if needed upgrade your package. Once you find a host you think is "the one"; you need to do some research on it. Google is your best friend for this part; You need to find reviews on the host, good reviews and bad reviews alike. Why did they make such a bad review? What is the downfall of using this "great" host? Thats why you look for reviews, just because a website looks professional, does not mean it is the best.
