In order to assess a business host, you will need to determine what services and resources you need, whether or not they are available and at what cost. You should fill out one of these sheets for each potential host and compare them carefully. The first two items require a bit of explanation. The first item (Base Cost) is the monthly fee for hosting your business site. The second item ( ___ meg space) is for your determination of how much space you need on your host's server. In this, as in all additional items, if there is no additional cost, you should write INCLUDED to indicate that the resource is included in that base cost. In the case where you have checked that something is needed but not available, you will need to supply that service or resource yourself. We have left a few blank spaces for you to use if there are additional services or resources you may need. If so, please let us know by clicking on the email link at the bottom of this page, so we may update our form in the future.
