subject: Tips On Web Hosting [print this page] Web hosting is the service provided by web hosts to aid the individuals to create website, provide with a space on the World Wide Web, etc. So how do we create a website? Website is generally created with the HTTP format. We need web hosting services to create a website. In order to do it we need to develop the hosting service locally! Once we start to develop the application, we can start uploading our stuff on the internet! Hence, we completely become a member of the service provider!
The first step demands us to register our domain name, i.e. if the website is www.wyz.com then the xyz.com part is called the domain name! We need not register the www. Part because it does not count anyway! However, once the domain name is registered we will have to pay the respective fee for the name because it becomes our property! However, you are provided with the option to change your hosting company if one is not satisfied with the present company! However, registering and creating the website will alone not attract the users to the site, advertisements attracts internet users to your website. Moreover, all the hosting companies will always be very happy to provide for advertisements since they are getting paid. However, we should keep in mind that whatever we do should always be paid for.
Web hosts are available in abundance since there is a growing demand for website creation. There is also quite a lot of competition among these hosting companies since it is not difficult to change from one service provider to the other. First of all, the service provider you register should be reliable. The service provided should be fast, for this, the service provider must have the necessary applications and backup systems, etc. Finding a web service provider is not that easy, there are usually many errors and mistakes we do in the beginning. Choosing a good website is only through experience! There are two stuff which are very important to create a website, they are bandwidth and disk space. One should be sure of the disk space, which the service provider is providing is enough because a 100 Mb is enough to hold thousands of pages and hundreds of pictures! Usage of MP3, video formats lead to the increase in the bandwidth consumption. However, there are some service providers, which provide unlimited bandwidth; these sorts of services provide protection from using bandwidth at an increased number!
You also need to ask the hosting company many questions about the number of sites they are hosting, how many years they have been providing the service and the people who work for them. Also, ask them for some sites they are hosting for reference. Ask them clearly of all the service they provide like support, money back, service, their speed.
Always make sure to inquire to as many service providers as possible so that you get a clear idea of what services are being provided and which server has the better servicing! Always make sure that you come to know the clauses of the company like; how many bandwidths they provide, their policies on hosting MP3 and video formatting, money back guarantee, their billing methods, how the server handles over quota. Keep the above in mind and make sure that you get an excellent host for your website!
