Tricks On Avoiding A Low Quality Web Site Host

Tricks On Avoiding A Low Quality Web Site Host

Check around and you'll find a plethora of business hosting nightmare stories. Businesses who don't realise they are being hosted by a teenager. Imagining why their website and emails have just vanished off the planet, and the host is not returning emails, well they would be unable to! And the cause? Little Alex has been grounded for getting a detention and had his computer taken away as well. OK, so its a hypothetical situation might sound a bit far fetched possibly? Again have another look on Google- you will find far worse problems webmasters have found to be in. Because? They picked a bad web host. While no one has a foolproof way of avoiding bad webhosts, I'll provide you a few tips on tell-tale signs of a bad website hosting business. No postal address on the hosting companies site. Without a contact address starts to break the distance selling laws in the UK. What good company wouldn't provide a postal address to send a letter to in case of a problem? A business which hasn't advertised a postal address stinks of a bedroom web host. Claiming to own multiple datacentres, when they don't. I prefer to do business with companies that are honest, well at least try and be as honest as they can. If you had a little shop, would you try and claim that you actually had a string of supermarkets? Well the same can be said for web hosts laying claim to their 'own' datacentre. A lot of hosts claim to be running their own servers, when in facts it's a managed dedicated server. Let me tell you, a very very small proportion of hosts have the resources and size to run their own datacentre. While not having your own datacentre is not normally a bad thing. But a web host claiming they do when they don't, is generally bad news. Speedy response to any emails sent? Being in the 21st century, email is the choice of communication for most people. If you have a few pre-sales questions about what your thinking of buying, you would expect to send and email and get a reply back to your inbox. So say a company did not answer the telephone, would you do business with them? Similarly a web host that takes over a day to answer a sales email doesn't bode well. What if it takes them them that long to an email that may generate some money, how long would you need to wait for support? That said, don't be fooled by the web host that responds to sales emails within minutes, but when you really do need help, couldn't care less. What's the hosts English like? Generally, a big indicator of the professionalism of a web host, is their spelling and grammar. We have all seen websites with incorrectly spelt worlds who claim things like the 'greatet' web host on the 'wrld wid web'. What if your host can't take the time to spell check their website or has not the ability to spell, the sales speech to convince you with, can you really trust them with your website? How do you find a reputable web host? There are some trustworthy business class web hosts. We have only just touched the top of the iceberg on spotting a poor web host. Choosing a web host is very very difficult. If you are looking for a quality business class web host, then do your homework. Search for reviews, talk to existing customers. Google can dish the dirt brilliantly on a company. Look up the company and see what you find. Remember above all, to pay monthly for your hosting so it does go wrong, and if the nasty stuff does hit the wall make sure you get a backup. Good luck.
