5 Biggest Things To Know About How Web Hosting Works! by ugolucas: 8:41am On Jan 08, 2013 |
In this first lesson let's talk a little about what web hosting is, what features you should look and how to choose a reliable hosting company. One way to understand what a web hosting is might be to think of a web host as another computer that has a great deal of space. This is not merely another computer like you use at home or in your office. It is a specialized type of computer that acts as a hub to quickly connect to other computers. Customers pay a web host to put their websites on their servers, which allows their websites to be displayed online whenever someone types in their URL or clicks on a link. There are many different web hosting companies to choose from online, with prices and services ranging from, free, a few dollars a month to hundreds of dollars a month. When it comes to choosing a good web host there are a few important things to consider. Like good technical support. This is probably one of the most important factors to consider, because if your websites aren't working for some reason, whether it's a server problem or some kind of other glitch, you will end up losing visitors and customers. Your web host's technical support will be where you need to turn for help, so you want them to be fast and reliable! Here is a tip: Test the tech support before signing up with a company so you can see how fast they respond and what the experience is like. Most hosting companies have a link to their technical support on their home page, so click on it, ask them a question and see what happens. If they don't have a support link you should avoid them all together! Another thing to check is how loaded their servers are. This is especially important for a shared hosting account, since there will other sites on the same server as yours. The best way to do this is by looking at customer reviews and searching online to see if there are any customer complaints. It is important to keep this in mind when choosing a hosting service because some companies will put several hundred websites on a single server, which can cause problems for you in the long run. For instance your website's performance could be slow, or go down frequently. It could also lead to your website being blacklisted by search engines like Google because of "guilt by association" if any of the other sites on hosted on the same are doing something they shouldn't be, like spamming or black hat SEO. You'll also have to decide what type of hosting account you will need. There are different types to choose from including; shared, VPS, dedicated, etc. Some hosting companies only offer shared hosting, while others have a range of plans available. A company with multiple levels of account is often the better choice, because you can upgrade to a higher level account as your sites grow, without having to move you site to a different hosting service. Finally, you'll want to check the specifications of the hosting account. This includes things like storage space, bandwidth limits, control panels and other technical details. So that you can be sure you're getting enough storage, bandwidth and so on to run your websites effectively. The process of selecting a web host for your website can be quite confusing for many people. As I mentioned earlier, there are countless hosting providers on the Internet to choose from. In fact, if you do a search for 'web hosting', you will see hundreds of pages of results (if not more). When you start your search you should simplify the process of selecting your website host as much as possible. The best way to do this is to visit sites that offer reviews and rate several web hosting companies. These reviews can be very helpful in determining which host will work best for your website. source: http://www.teachmehosting.t15.org/ |
