When considering a company to host your website there are
several important considerations. If I had known the information I am giving
you here when I started I could have saved myself a lot wasted time, effort,
and lost sales.
Hosting services usually fall into one of the following
categories.
FREE HOSTING SERVICES
There are hundreds of companies that will provide you with a
free server for your websites. These
websites are fine for personal use, but not for business.
FREE HOSTING SERVICES HAS FOUR MAJOR DISADVANTAGES
1.
They will require you display a banner at the
top of all pages
2.
You usually cant host your own domain
3.
Hosting on a free server hurts your credibility
4.
Free servers are generally slow and unreliable
Without a professional appearance, a business loses
credibility instantly, and has two strikes against it before it even starts.
LOW COST HOSTING SERVICES
Low cost servers usually cost under $20 per month. Such
hosts are barely one step above free hosting. They don’t force you to display
banners and you can register your own domain. But at these low prices the
servers are often as slow and unreliable as those providing free hosting.
At first glance, there is no simple choice especially for
those new to web. You may be tempted to save a few bucks by signing up with a
low cost provider.
Low cost hosts tend to have poor security features. They are
more often hacked and shut down due to the type of customers they attract
because there is not enough profit, they often go out business.
Most low hosts continue to add new accounts until their
server is so overworked they just can hardly keep it up and running. This
brings downtime during peak times of the day when more of your customers are trying
to connect to your website. The speed only improves when enough users move on.
In short, you get what you pay for and when you pay less you get less access to
support.
PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS WEB HOSTING SERVICES
Make sure you choose a hosting company that offers the
services you need NOW and those you MAY need in future. Makes sure they offer
java, statical reporting, real video, mail list management and a search engine.
