Web Hosting

There are highly competitive in the web hosting industry, no matter it is in the global market, regional market, or local market. You can get millions of web pages from Google by searching the keyword "hosting". With much competition, it is very easy to get cheap or low cost web hosting service. But it is fairly easy to get lost while searching for a web hosting provider and evaluating which hosting plan to purchase.

Below are 4 important issues you can consider during evaluation process of the web hosting provider and plan:-

1. The Hosting Company Must Control Their Servers

Most of the web hosting providers are just reselling server space of someone else, especially those small players. If the hosting providers you choose doesn't own his own space or server, it could happen that when you need to move to another hosting company for any reason, you depend on their willingness to help you. Sometimes, it is difficult to move a complex website without having root access.

If you're able to afford Virtual Private Server (VPS, with root access), then go for it, it will make your life easier. But if you can't afford it, at least go for reputable shared hosting companies like BlueHost, Lunarpages or etc.

2. Don't Let Your Hosting Company Own Your Domain

Domain is your brand on Internet. Without domain, visitors can't access your website. If you lose your domain, all the traffic came from those hard earned links are lost in an instant. Then your website will be worthless. So make sure you have the control over your domain. If the hosting provider gives you a domain name for free (many hosting providers do that now), make sure that the email and details of the administrative contact is you and you have a control panel where you can see the ownership of your domain.

3. Avoid Free Hosting Of Any King

Free hosting is good for you if you don't care one day will be gone. But if you're serious or starting a business, even a little one, it is very important to have your own domain and hosting service because you've the control over them. You won't lose your traffic because you're not depend on your free hosting provider. Be your own owner!

4. Seek a Host With Good Customer Support

It may take years to fully understand all the issues of the hosting platforms. If you're newbie, you could be in big trouble all the time if your host doesn't give you the correct manuals, advice, or help you to complete technical tasks. Remember that if you pay a web hosting provider to host your website, they should help you solve your technical needs and not wasting your valuable time. You can check out user testimonials or comments from Google or Yahoo, but not from hosting provider's website.

The Same Price?

A question that is asked quite often is "Why do various web hosting companies have different web hosting prices for the same package?"

Like in any other business, web hosting industry also has a small number of scamsters who want your business at any cost. They believe that they can sell you anything at any price "from Eiffel tower to the Kitchen sink". Some of these will give you web hosting prices that are much higher simply because they think that they can convince you to pay more. Others will offer the world for very-little and hope that you will be satisfied with whatever they dish out.

However, a majority of web hosting providers may have genuine reasons for higher / lower web hosting prices. In this article we will study significance of the real factors that can affect the price of a web hosting package. Awareness of the same may clear the confusion cloud generated by huge web hosting price variations.

1. Hosting Support: This is perhaps the single most important factor that determines price. Hosting Companies that provide responsive technical support and are quick in fixing problems have a higher-ratio of "well trained employees" TO "customers". Due to the costs incurred in maintaining a larger number of efficient support personnel, they usually charge more from their customers. "10 satisfied customers will automatically become a 100 in 5 years time". Many web hosting providers who do not believe this axiom offer throw-away web hosting prices and generally their businesses do not last long.

2. Web Hosts' Network: Most web hosting companies put their servers in different datacenters across the world. For a high quality network (with redundant fast connections and reliable back up power) a web host has to pay more to an advanced datacenter. In turn they charge you more for their hosting packages to maintain reasonable profit margins.

3. Web Server power: Another factor is the speed of the machine your website resides on. A Dual Xeon can serve pages and handle applications faster than a P-IV. Web hosts who spend less on fast reliable servers charge less from their customers.

4. Loss Selling: Sometimes hosting companies sell at loss to expand their client base and hope to sell other products at a later date to the same customers. For example, some hosts price hosting packages at lower than base cost and hope to sell services like web design, ecommerce solutions, search engine optimization etc. While there are benefits to attracting customers with unbeatable web hosting prices, it is still a gamble. If the gamble backfires they may not be able to maintain quality of service in the long run.

5. Over Selling: "The supreme gift of a good artist is to know when to stop". Hosts that follow this principle usually restrict the number of domains-per-server to a decent number. This ensures that they can maintain 'Quality of Service' for their clients by offering sufficient server resources to each. It also means that this host will have to charge more to recover the amount they pay to their datacenter. Then again, there are providers who sell 400 accounts of 1 GB each on a hard disk of 80 GB !!! (You can smile at this point of our study) These companies hope that most customers will never use their full allocation of resources. What if the customers actually start using full resources allocated to them?

6. Web Hosting Features: Windows, Linux and other server operating systems have different base prices. Features like database support, JSP, scripting languages, SSL support vary from package to package. A web hosting provider who offers more features (in a similar hosting plan) is likely to have a higher web hosting price.

Points to remember: The adage "You get what you pay for" is generally true. Please be aware that leaving aside the scamsters, there do exist genuine factors that affect web hosting prices. The highest price may not give proper ROI (return on investment) and the lowest may not help your online business grow. Prioritize your needs, ask the right questions, avoid unscrupulous web hosts and choose wisely.

The Best Web Host OR NOT!!!!!

There are many things that you should consider before choosing your web hosting provider. THE MOST important thing to look for is reliable web hosting providers. Unfortunately, reliable web hosting providers are not easy to come by. Lets first start out by defining what a reliable web hosting provider is. A reliable web hosting provider is a company that is going to stick by your side though all of the problems that you might have.

In this article we will teach you a few EASY steps in finding reliable web hosting. This will save you the hassle of finding a unreliable host and going through many issues that are unsolved.

1. Make sure the company has a guarantee.

Make sure that your company has at least a 99.9% uptime guarentee. This shows that they have high quality equipment that they know is not going to fail on them.

2. Check reviews about the company.

Go to google and type in the name of the company and see if they are well established. A great place to look is on web hosting forums. You can post threads asking other members what they think about the host. You might be surprised at the response you get.

3. Do they have customer support?

Does the company have support tickets or a phone number to call. Either one is great.

If both of these steps are completed and both come out with great results.. you have just found a reliable web hosting company.

Free Web Hosting?

First of all, you should avoid FREE services. Many new online entrepreneurs make the mistake of trying to save a little extra cash by choosing free or even low-cost web hosting, not realizing the huge negative effects that this will have on their business.

Free web hosting should be avoided entirely because...Visitors perceive free sites as small-time and unprofessional!

If you do manage to establish an online business using a free web host, your name will become linked to their name because you are using their root domain as your website address.

Not to mention...

* They can you shut down instantly! For example, if you get accused of spamming, they can cut you off without even giving you a warning or a chance to defend yourself.

* They may decide you are doing to well and start charging you.

* They could go out of business and leave you with nothing.

put it this way you are spending all of your time and money advertising a URL connected to someone else which you do not even own! You're relying completely on their good graces and business sense. If anything happens to your URL, you've lost all of your hard-earned incoming links, your advertising is no longer of any use , and your customers will have no idea as of where to find you!

They advertise on your site and you have NO control what so ever over what kind of advertising they do or where on your site it appears.Your visitors may be bombarded with an annoying stream of pop-up windows advertising your web host's products and services.

If you don't read the fine print, you may be giving up the copyright to all of your web content, in exchange for your "FREE" web space. Is it really worth it?

If you plan on making a success of your Internet business, you should never for a second consider going with free web hosting. While free web hosting might be great for people who are just looking to put up a personal web page, it comes at too high a cost for the serious entrepreneur.

Low cost-web hosting really isn't much better. Here the phrase "You get what you pay for" really applies.

Because budget web hosting companies deal in QUANTITY, and not QUALITY, you can expect poor customer service and slow connection speeds. These companies tend to oversell their services, hosting too many sites on insufficient servers, causing slowdowns and problems. They rely on the inexperience of their customers to make their money.

What does all of this mean to you?

...Well, If your web host doesn't have top security measures in place, If they don't back up their servers properly(let alone their back up servers), if their tech support is unreachable, if their servers are down more then they are up... it affects your business! ...Trust me you do not want to go through this same nightmarish experience

If you are not satisfied with your current web host either switch to the web host I recommend at http://www.webhost-associate.com or look for another web hosting company that offers the same services.
