subject: Unlimited Webhosting - Is It Really Better? [print this page] Webhosting has come to be recognized as one of the most effective ways of consolidating your business. When you host your website to the public domain, it is viewed by people all over the world and it results in a lot of business promotion which may result in increased revenue.
Unlimited Webhosting has come to be identifiedin this context, as the better option than limited Webhostingespecially for people who have long term plans of business expansion. This is mainly because unlimited web hosting comes with capabilities and features that are aligned with the needs of scalability of a business.
Let us take a look to find out why and how unlimited web hosting would be a better option than limited web hosting. The comparison is done on the assumption that the business has long term plans to grow and the website is an important part of the plan.
First, consider this example. You have a website that has a lot of images and animations per page (good websites usually do). Now, the size of each html page is 1 MB. You expect about 1000 visitors to visit this page per month. So you need a space of 1000 MB per page, at least.
If you multiply the total size of all the pages in the website with the estimated viewership, that space requirement is going to be much more. The limited web hosting plan supports this requirement as of now. What when the viewership increases and your page has more content?
The limited web hosting plan is not very likely to scale itself. Hence, any decent unlimited webhosting plan will suitable scale itself with your increasing business needs.
Second, consider the scenario of a visitor typing the wrong domain to reach your website. For instance, if .net is typed in the place of .com, this will result in either your website not displayed, or the visitor reaching some other website. Do not expect the average visitor with short attention span and patience to search for your website again.
A webhosting service provider who gives you unlimited webhosting facilities is most likely to give you unlimited domains to register so that no viewership is missed. A limited plan is unlikely to have these features.
Third, a web hosting service provider that provides you an unlimited webhosting plan is also likely to give you security features that will reduce the possibilities of your website being used for unethical purposes like hacking.
The above features and comparison are however, generalizations and you need to do your bit of research and study to decide on the best unlimited plan for your business. Your needs will be unique and webhosting service providers will provide plans that will be tailor made for your kind of business.
