Do they specialize in it? Many do not and therefore have other solutions to concentrate on as well. Your goal is to find the right balance of expertise and price.

Make sure to look at monthly prices as well as quarterly and yearly. You may save money going with the longer option but if you don’t plan to use the service that long, then think again.

Make yourself clear about companies policies and offers.Agree to their terms and conditions only if you find yourself comfortable otherwise dont agree.
