4 Tips to Find the Web Host That's Right for You

By Mansi gupta
So you have finally planned to invade the magical world of Internet. All captions ready, all information gathered, all details penned down. What next?


Your next important step is finding the Web Host for your site, The Right One..

A web host is a service provider that places your web site on a computer that is connected to Internet. This then gives people who surf Internet a way to access your website.


Finding the best host for your company's Web site is one of the most important steps when taking your business online. Not only will your host be responsible for placing your company's site on the Internet; it will also be responsible for keeping it there and being available to potential customers.


Now, let us take a look at the steps to be followed when choosing the right web host:


1. Create an online plan for your site. What you are going to sell, number of items, methods of payment and the features of your site. Then determine the possibilities for your site's expansion over the next six months, the next year and the next five years. Look into these factors before short-listing your probable host.


Disk Space/Storage refers to the amount of space given by a web-hosting plan for your web site's pages, images, and any additional files. Take this into consideration when determining the total number of files you will be using for your website and their sizes. If you are planning on creating a website with a lot of video or audio files, you will need a lot of disk space. Check whether your host can meet this requirement.


Programming Languages such as ASP, PHP, Perl/CGI, JSP and ColdFusion are used to create a lot of popular scripts (software) to help your website function. Make sure your web host supports the language used by you. Also, if you are planning on selling services or products from your website, make sure the web hosting plan you choose offers some type of ecommerce solution.


2. Now that you have checked out all your requirements, pick your top five responses. Surprisingly, many of the hosts you submit a request for a proposal to won't respond by your set deadline. Ignore them and look at the responses you receive and pick the five best.

My biggest tip would be to avoid any of the hosts that give you shared space on a server and go for someone who offers virtual private servers - like eapps.com

Whatever else is going on with service/price etc, one of the mainstays of your online activity is your email. And if you are on a shared server (which is what MOST of the cheap hosts offer), then it only takes ONE other person on your server to get themselves blacklisted, and ALL of the people on that server get blacklisted too. Suddenly you find that your emails don't get through and there is next to NOTHING you can do about it, apart from change hosts.

On a VPS (Eapps is just $10 a month) this can never happen to you - unless of course you are blacklisted yourself.

I'm no high-end pro, just someone who over 4-5 years has been building sites for a small number of people. I started with peoplehost - and the service was terrible. Then onto hostgator, which was cheap..and ok...but since I moved to eapps 18 months ago I have just been delighted. Their service is outstanding, the functionality they offer is brilliant - I am now hosting forums and chats as well as all the usual basic stuff. And at 10 bucks a month it's just amazing.

So, I don't know who else offers VPS, and as far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter, eapps are fabulos. Just don't start on a shared service and find yourself having to change. In the world of internet, change is NOT as good as a rest!

PS I have nothing to do with eapps, I'm just a happy customer.

Learn How To Choose The Best Website Hosting Service

Here are some important features which must be considered when choosing your web hosting company:

Reliability and uptime: Hosting uptime refers to the percentage of time the host is accessible via the internet. It is very important your service be uptime (functioning and available for use). It means you can access your account whenever you want to update your web pages, and users can enter your website whenever they refer to your site address. If your hosting service is not uptime it can be catastrophic!

Disk space: Web hosting space is the amount of room that the web host provides to store your HTML, graphic, video/audio and other files. This figure is most commonly stated in gigabytes. If you don't know how much space you need for your website, you can choose a web host with unlimited disk space, which allows you to build as many web pages as you want.

Bandwidth: Bandwidth (or data transfer) refers to the amount of data that is accessed by your visitors. Web hosts define bandwidth as the total amount of data access from your server over a month's time. This figure is most commonly expressed in gigabytes. If you don't know how much bandwidth you need for your website, you can pick a web host with unlimited data transfer, which allows you to support as many visitors as you want.

Ease of Control Panel: It is important that the control panel is easy to use and all information can be accessed easily.

If you are a beginner it is generally hard to you to pick the right web hosting service. There are many websites which display a couple of web hosting companies as the best and leave people confused without being helpful. To make things even more confusing, some hosting companies are cheating and lying to their customers!

Make sure they are from your location.
The most important is the service they provide after hosting.

Choose a host that has been in business at least a few years, and who offers features that can be upgraded as your Web site expands. Your company image hinges on the reliability and service of your web host.
