Though you might have known about many features, but not all those features are important. In this post I will discuss about the top five web hosting features which actually matter nothing!

All those features which you tend to choose are important. But the features which do not depend on your choice that is the server end features are not important for you. This ultimately means that you cannot control those features. Now let’s discuss them in detail.

Web Hosting Features that matters Nothing

1. Uptime

I am pretty sure that everyone will be shocked to see this term at the beginning. Yes, uptime is a web hosting feature that is not important for you. This means that you cannot do anything if your site goes down. Server down means you cannot do anything, which is why it is a feature which is not important while taking a decision.

Most of the reputed hosting companies provide 99% uptime guarantee and they try their level best to make their server live all the time so that people can’t transfer website to new host due to this reason. So, try to go with a reputed and reliable hosting provider so that you don’t have to worry about this feature ever.

2. Dedicated IP Address

This is another feature which does not depend on you, where the web hosting provider or the server manager has the ultimate access to edit it. The dedicated IP address does not depend upon the server too, it is randomly generated. This is a series of consecutive numbers assigned to each server by the web hosting providers.

3. Default OS

Again this is another unwanted feature usually mentioned in the specifications of many web hosting providers. You surely can’t do anything with the operating system. Using any operating system will do well for your blog/ website. And you can off course change your operating system anytime.

4. Bandwidth

Again bandwidth is another feature that is not important for you; even after reaching your bandwidth limit, they will provide free bandwidth up to some extent to show their reputation. However, Bandwidth is not an unwanted feature, it somewhat important in some aspects.

5. SMTP

It is a mailing service which matters nothing to almost every blogger, email services are usually provided by domain or hosting registrars. And these services are always same for all the servers!

These are the top 5 features which as a blogger matter nothing to you, means these are not much important while choosing your hosting plan. Just check the terms which are important and go for the best hosting provider as per your need. Happy hosting!
