There are a few simple things to assess for web hosting
, these include bandwidth management, space management along with some more advanced options like database management.
When you are deciding upon hosting provider one of the key areas to assess is disk or web space. In the case of hosting providers, space refers to how much information can fit on the disk that is given to the customer by the web host. You will find on average you will have 50MB to 1000MB of space, this can vary depending on how much you pay.
The size of the storage space a client needs is totally dependent on the nature and size of his or her website. These days the majority of websites are made up of flash animations and HTML texts. Text is extremely economic in nature and the reverse is graphics and naturally they are expensive requiring much greater space. One small image will take around 1MB of space, whereas if you had 5 pages of text you would only take up 50Kb.
Webmasters have to balance their wants and desires with the reality of the budget they have to spend and the revenue they hope to draw in. A webmaster must consider both his own needs and the needs of his consumers as they visit his site.
Of course the basic purpose of web based promotion is to bring in visitors and create more revenue. If it takes too long to download a page so that the visitor is bored or becomes impatient that won't happen. The ideal size of a web page has been determined to be around thirty kilobytes since even with a dial up connection it should only take four seconds to download a page of that size. It is recommended that no matter the size of your site, that you buy a bit larger hosting package than you currently need so that you have room to grow your business and website.
