    Tips to select a webhost

    Hello friends,
    Tips to select a webhost

    These are few things to consider to select a webhost.

    1) Storage Space and Data Transfer:
    Note: It is extremely important to look at the monthly data transfer bandwidth included in a plan.

    2) reliability :

    3) Technical Support

    4) Added Features

    Examples of services include also visitor counts, e-mail forwarding options, real time chat, shopping cart functions, and web statistics. The list goes on.

    5) Pricing Structure

    A good web host company will not tie you into a long-term contract that will prevent you moving if you don't like the service.

    6) What type of Web hosting server is offered?

    7) Does the Web hosting server provide back-up and recovery services

    Thanks

    First thing is to check out the purpose of your website. Is your website is going to be small with less resource or it is going to be a website which will contain huge data and resources? For small and new business, shared web hosting is great choice because of its cheap price. But if you are going to have a big online business website like e-commerce than it is better to go for dedicated web hosting service. If you are going to have huge traffic on your website and more resources then you will require good bandwidth to meet your customers or visitors expectations. Visitors generally repel if they have to wait for loading time of website. Another aspect to remember is Disk space, according to your website requirement you must check out that you are getting adequate disk space or not. There are many web hosting companies available with different services and rates and discounts. You will get shared web hosting, dedicated web hosting or free web hosting at different price because you will get the control about the server accordingly. Thus, make sure you are getting the required control according to price.

    Take overselling. Thats ok, we all do it as most of buyers will never ever use the space or bandwidth provided. But if the company is not run well then particulally bandwidth can become an issue. For example if the bandwidth is not monitored and changes made as required the hosting can become vey slow and unreliable.

    But what if they do use it? Then what do you do?

    Hi,

    Your ACTUAL needs. You might be excited by hosts that offer 5GB of storage space and 1000GB (1TB) of bandwidth for very low prices, but you should at the very least be wary of such companies. Besides the con issue, ask yourself - do you even need such large resources?

    That's a good list. You don't want you bandwidth to be limited too much either.

    When you’re ready to take the plunge and have a website of your own, there are a lot of choices in terms of web hosts and domain registrars. Some people choose to do everything under one roof and some buy their domain names from one source and their web hosting from another.
