Tips for Choosing Website Hosting Company

Posted on August 1, 2010 by arra| Leave a comment

A website hosting company is very much essential for establishing your website presence. It is not sufficient to just create a website; you need to have a domain which is provided by a website hosting company. As there are many such companies around, some thought and consideration has to be used in choosing the right website hosting company.

A very important point to consider is the amount of support the company gives you. You have to choose a web host that gives a good response to any problem you have; and in other words, has a good support system with 24/7 live chat support.

Choose website hosting companies with 99% uptime

The website hosting company has to have a minimum of 99% uptime, especially if you have a commercial website where you have to stay online continuously, without interruptions. In addition to this, the web host should have lots of web or disc space as there is always the possibility of you needing to expand your website over time.

Preferably, the website hosting company should offer you a web space of 1 GB so that you can add features and several scripts to your website if and when required. And if your web host permits you to hold multiple domains from an account, you definitely need more than 1 GB of disc space.

Choose the web host that provides you with a Cpanel hosting interface as it are easy for the beginner webmaster to use. With Cpanel, you can setup email accounts, manage files and databases and provide website hosting tools. In addition to this, Cpanel may also provide a system called Fantastico where installation of guest books, blogs and WordPress is made simple.

Check on the security features of the web host

If you own a business website that sells products or services, you need to choose a website hosting company that has e-commerce features like Agora shopping carts. Usually web hosts provide shopping carts for free. As scripts today usually use SSIs for inclusion of data, you have to ensure that you choose the web host that supports or activates SSI for your domain.

It is important that the website hosting company is fast as slow web hosts only lead to the loss of visitors while waiting for the loading of web pages. Choose web hosts with a minimum of a T1 connection for internet carriers; though T3 connections are faster or better.

As security is an important feature of all websites, you have to choose a website hosting company that provides you with sufficient security. It should have important security services like firewalls for protection from hackers.

Check on the bandwidth of the website hosting company as the higher is the bandwidth, the better it is for you. If you have lots of graphics on your website, you will need a lot of monthly bandwidth so choose the host with a minimum of 20GB bandwidth.

This is an important point for choosing website hosting companies as once your website uses more than the allotted bandwidth in a month, you may end up either with a suspension of your site or a hefty fee for each GB that you use. However, be careful of website hosting companies offering ‘unlimited’ bandwidth as these hosts usually have their policy terms printed in fine print.

How To Find Budget Website Hosting Packages Without Compromising Quality

Posted on July 31, 2010 by arra| Leave a comment

It seems like everyday we can take a look either online or even offline and find a number of offers on website hosting. Some offer free trials, and others show very nominal monthly fee’s. However, how are we to choose, especially if your website is very important to you?


In this website hosting article, you will learn:

* Warning Of The Free Hosting Offers

* A Look At Budget Hosting

* Why Budget May Not Always Be Budget Website Hosting


* Warning Of The Free Hosting Offers

Quite a few years ago I needed a new hosting provider, my original hosting company was with my ISP, and as I learned, this is not the best way to go about hosting a website. I needed something more, so I looked around.


Having looked around I found a very interesting offer from a company, it showed several months of free hosting. So I took the plunge, and soon found things I didn’t expect. Costs which were not plain to see when I got the website hosting package.


This happens every day, and is something to be concerned about. Many website hosting companies offer free trials, some even offer total free hosting. But those that offer the total free, and even some of the free trials end up costing more than you expected. Though this does not usually mean that service won’t be good, it can be, so keep an eye on the total costs.


* A Look At Budget Hosting

What is budget hosting, and why can those website hosting companies offer hosting so low? After all, a little bit of research will show costly packages, and a few show such low prices, it seem unbelievable.


There comes a need to understand the basics. Website hosting companies invest in server computers which hold websites. Now, these servers can hold thousands of websites or a few. But, as you add more websites, the websites suffer in speed.


The budget hosting packages will often place a lot more websites on each server than a more highly priced package at another website hosting company. This is the gist of it; however, hosting companies may even cut back on customer service, thus making prices lower.


* Why Budget May Not Always Be Budget Website Hosting

If we consider the above points, then it would seem apparent that the main consideration is to see whether they are serving other sites well. A good way to tell both points is to try to get through to customer services or more better the technical department, and try asking a question, and see how long till you get a response.


As I often say, a website that is up, is up, but when something goes wrong, how quick till it is resolved? This is an important point, so if you can give a free trial a go, and see if it works in that time, and they offer good service, then you may have found a gem. There are many budget website hosting companies that offer packages that are just as good as the bigger and more expensive hosting companies.

How To Blog From Your Own Website

Posted on July 31, 2010 by arra| Leave a comment

If you know how to blog from your own website then you will have many options open to you in the design and functionality of your blog that are not available on a hosted blog.

You can use Blogger from blogger.com or WordPress from wordpress.com. Each has its own peculiarities, benefits and disadvantages, such as the lack of trackback and categories on Blogger, and the relatively poor raw html editing facility on WordPress. However, each has its fans and adherents, and those used to one or the other are generally loathe to changing. Neither, however, offers the wide range of options open to those that have chosen to run WordPress or any other blogging software from their own webspace.

Those who use the hosted versions likely do so either because they have no need of the options that the uploaded software offers, and are happy operating a blog using the range of options offered by the blog host. Others might not have a website, and have no intentions of having one because they have no need for their own site. Many bloggers are not involved in internet marketing, and are not using their blogs to make money – not even Adsense revenue.

They enjoy blogging about the political issues of the day, the latest movies and even just their everyday lives. Others, however, use blogs professionally as part of their business, and a blog is a great medium for advertising a business or a product. It is an ideal way of linking several websites that have been designed to sell different products, and even cover different niches. This is not easy to do without a blog, since search engines such as Google frown on adverts on one website for anther site offering information on a totally different topic.

What is regarded as a lack of relevance in a website is diversity in a blog. So how do you go about running your blog from your own website? WordPress.org offers free software that you can upload to your own web space. The best way to do this is by use of an ftp client. This is software that allows you transfer files and folders from your hard drive to your website. It can also be used to transfer files from one website to another.

Upload facilities on websites allow you only to upload files, not folders or directories. Without an ftp client, you would have to create folders identical to those containing the WordPress files. You would then have to upload each file individually, while maintaining the original directory structure. This can take some time to do, and errors are easy to make. Your first steps, then, are to download the blogging software to your hard disk, then ftp it to your website. When doing this, your ftp software will also allow you to change file permissions as detailed in the blog set up instructions. You will also have to use a text editor to change the contents of a few files, but this is fairly simple to do.

You then have to create a MySQL database for your blog. MySQL is a powerful Open Source Software database management system that uses SQL (structured query language) that most normal web hosting services offer free on your web space. The database is easy to set up by following the instructions that will likely be provided by your web host.

After that you are all set. You can use the default page template that comes with WordPress, but you now have complete flexibility in the look and feel of your blog. You can upload any of the thousands of free or paid templates available online, and also any of the plugins that you want to use. You can edit all of the template elements you want to completely customize them, including the stylesheet for the whole page, the header, footer, sidebars and so on. You can add graphics, Adsense blocks, affiliate links and even offer your own products for sale.

Plugins are software elements that provide specific resources to your blog. Examples are calendars, anti-spam filters, RSS feeds, sitemap generators, tag systems and so on. There are thousands of them that can be used to totally customize your blog.

If you have your own website and business, then a blog can be a very dangerous thing. It can become so addictive that you can find yourself neglecting your website and business and spending all your time blogging and trying out various plugins, templates and themes.

Knowing how to blog from your blog from own website can be very useful, but make sure that you budget your time on it. A blog is a great thing, but very addictive.

Website Hosting – How To Get The Best Web Hosting Package Deals

Posted on July 31, 2010 by arra| Leave a comment

Whether you have domains and website hosting or are new to website hosting, trying to find the best deals can be a difficult process. It seems as though web hosting can be expensive, however it does not have to be. Here are some tips that can have you save a lot of money on web services.


Points covered in this web hosting article:

* Research Website Hosting Companies

* Look At Your Needs

* Free Website Hosting Offers – Free Hosting Trials – Web Hosting Discounts


* Research Website Hosting Companies

Researching website hosting companies becomes the first step in finding the best host, with the best deals. It can become easy to simply look at what has been offered on television, in magazines, etc.


The real great deals generally come from not the biggest companies with millions to invest in television advertising, but the web host that has a great service, but doesn’t have the millions to advertise. Looking around online can truly dig up the best deals.


* Look At Your Needs

When looking at your needs, it comes down to 2 aspects – the technical and the personal. They are both important, and will provide you with the answers, whether one website hosting package is better for your needs over another.


You may have found the best web host package, but it is no good unless they have what you really need. The first point is to consider your needs. Do you need MySql databases? Do you need PHP and or CGI?


The other aspect is the personal, and with the personal needs it comes down to your site. Is your site new? Are you new to the internet? Some web hosts are better for people who are new, because they provide a lot of information to get started, whereas some other hosts may not provide all the information that someone new may need.


* Free Website Hosting Offers – Free Hosting Trials – Web Hosting Discounts

There is a lot of places that offer free, a trial or discount website hosting. When you find them, the biggest and most important aspect is to carefully look at the terms. Some of these places even offer free domains.


The problem with these hosts is that they may not provide all your needs, at least with the technical aspect. What’s more, they may also put adverts, and have hidden charges. For a business looking to make a web presence, the free options generally are not the best way to go.

Searching For an Affordable Website Hosting Plan

Posted on July 31, 2010 by arra| Leave a comment

Finding an affordable website hosting plan is much easier than you think. As a matter of fact they are all over the place. Just type “affordable website hosting plan” on any search engine and you’ll find thousands of web hosting companies.

So the trouble isn’t finding them. The real tough part is deciphering which ones you can trust and which ones you can’t. There are new web hosting companies starting their business every single day. Many of them fail to make it, due to the poor quality service they offer.

Try to find web hosts that have been around for a while. Usually the longer a web host has been in business, the more reputable they are. After all, if they offered poor web hosting, chances are they wouldn’t be in business for 5+ years. Their reputation would have sunk them. In the internet hosting industry, once people hear of many customers who are having the same issues with the their host, is spreads like wildfire.

Hosts should offer strong, secure servers as well as professional customer service. Make sure to look at this before you look at the costs of the hosting plan.

No matter how much money you might save from an affordable website hosting plan, it will never cover how much money you might lose if your website crashes due to poor servers. It’s always best when a company offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee. Poor servers can also cause your website to load very slowly. Visitors of your site will never wait more than 10 seconds for a site to load. That means you’ve lost a potential customer or subscriber just because you wanted to save a few bucks on hosting. It’s just not worth it.

The hosting company that you choose also needs to be accessible 24 hours a day. Eventually you are going to run into a problem in which you’ll need their help. Customer service should be helpful and courteous. There is also absolutely no reason why should be waiting on the phone line for more than 30 minutes when trying to reach customer support.

You also need to look at the features that you are getting with the hosting plan. Presently, you can find many respectable companies which offer a shared hosting plan for under $10 a month. This is a great deal, especially for newbies. With a shared hosting plan, you can host multiple domains under one account. It’s a very affordable way to build an internet empire.

If you want to spend a little more money on hosting you can splurge and get a virtual private server or dedicated server. With these options you don’t have to share your hosting with anybody else. It makes hosting a little more flexible and secure. It’s hard to find many affordable hosting plans for dedicated hosting. The average cost is usually $150 a month. Pretty steep, but if you can afford it, it’s definitely worth it.

These are just some of the things you have to consider when shopping around for web hosting companies.
