Web hosting you can afford
Web hosting is like renting an apartment!
It lets you rent space on the internet where you can upload your website and internet users can view it.
The web host manages the hardware and the software and the staff you provide the content.
To continue the analogy, when looking for the perfect apartment,
you need to know the size, amenities, price, and how these fit in with your own needs.
When choosing web hosting you should consider the following:
1. Type of web site – If you want a personal site
for say, personal movie reviews or a site to communicate with a specific group,
a low priced hosting plan will work OK.
2. Price or Budget –
Some basic hosting plans can fit your requirements at a resonable price.
To find a good host that will meet your budget.
Request quotes from different web-hosting companies.
This will allow you to evaluate the options available.
3. Reliability – You want your website online 24-7.
4. Customer support – For new users, this can be very critical.
Some companies offer 24/7 assistance for a small fee. For small websites, this may not be necessary.
5. Disk space –
Your needs will depend on the sort of website you are planning.
A simple website made up of mainly text and a few images will not require much space,
but if you are planning on setting up streaming audio, of a picture gallery disk space constraints may be a problem.
Check the size your website takes up on your hard drive.
Allow for growth if you intend to add new pages.
There are hundreds of web hosting companies offering different packages that will fit anybody’s budget.
Giving consumers more choices in hosting their websites.
Generally, there are four types of web hosting available. These are:
1. Free web hosting – Often these accounts are funded
by advertising through banner or pop up ads.
Usually there is little or no customer support.
Use free hosting if your budget is limited for personal and test web sites only.
2. Paid shared hosting – The most common and affordable web hosting.
You share a webserver with other website owners.
There may be limits on disk space and bandwidth, Functionality may also be limited,
but is available for as low as $1.95/month.
3. Dedicated hosting – Offering a dedicated server so that you can operate and manage your own websites.
This is common to large e-commerce sites that have thousands if not millions of members or subscribers.
This is also offered to individuals who would like to start up their own web hosting business that will eventually sell hosting accounts in the internet. Dedicated hosting can be bit expensive ranging from $100-$150 per month.
4. Colocated Hosting – This is the most expensive web-hosting plan. Clients will not rent the server but own it and they will have to pay for the bandwidth along with the server maintenance fee.
It is reasonably easy to find an affordable and quality web-hosting company.
With tight competition among companies, there are many good services to choose from.
Outline your needs and shop around to get the best deal.
