Things To Think About Before You Pay For Web Hosting
Deciding upon a hosting company can be hard, especially if you've never had to buy hosting before
. New web developers often feel overwhelmed when it comes time to find a hosting provider. There are so many hosting packages out there! How do you make a good decision? There are some tricks and tips that you can use to speed the process along.
The truth is that choosing a host company is not all that different from buying anything else that you need. The buying process never really changes. Here are some things that you should keep in mind.
Before you start looking at web hosting, figure out the size and the scope of your project. Do you know how much traffic you can expect, how much server space you will need, etc? Figuring out things like this will help you better define your hosting search. Bandwidth amounts and pricing will be important parts of your search criteria if you are sure that your site will be popular and highly trafficked s as soon as it is launched. Space is also an important issue, especially if your site is going to have lots of pages full of images (which eat up a lot of server space)-you'll want to find a provider who can accommodate that. You might not require the extra space or bandwidth because you only want to build a simple little website for your friends and family. Planning out your project before you start building saves you lots of time with site construction, launch and even with finding reliable hosting. Ask a bunch of questions. You need to make actual contact with every one of the companies that you might choose for your hosting. Ask to speak with a customer service representative. If you have no way of speaking to a live person then you should run away! Do not share any information with a company that will not allow you to have a conversation with a live person who represents that company. If one of your hosting companies cannot prove that they have actual live employees (and not just question and answer bots) they are most likely trying to scam you out of your money. Even small companies should have at least one person you can talk to. Be wary if you cannot make "real" contact with someone.
How do you feel about advertising? Do you think that you will put your own advertisements up on your site? Could you use space on your site to advertise for someone else? When you answer these questions you can begin to narrow down your host company choices. If you don't have any strong feelings about showcasing someone else's advertisements on your site and your site is going to be small and personal, you should take advantage of some of the free hosting packages that are out there. Paid hosting is also available for people who do not wish to showcase outside advertising or who want to sell their own advertising space for a profit. Most hosts are fine with websites that sell advertising. Some hosts, unfortunately, will not allow you to sell advertising on your site. Make sure you read the fine print about this before you choose your hosting company. Keeping yourself safe from scam artists when you are searching for hosting can feel like a hard task. It is better to be too careful than to get taken advantage of. Asking too many questions and being too careful is impossible. Remember, this is a service that you will be paying for. Keep your personal and banking information close to your chest until you find a company that you feel comfortable doing business with. Scam artists are everywhere and the very last thing you need is to be taken for a ride by one of them. Identity thieves and other scammers are just waiting to take advantage of someone na?ve. There is no such thing as being too careful.
