How many of you know, my company sells e-business applications around the world. Many times we have found that customers, in addition to an e-business application, they need a hosting service. To give an end to end service, we offer our customers a hosting service to the dealers to schedule, we often buy online. Other customers, which separated to their hosting plans to purchase even of our services, and so they asked us how to choose between thevarious available hosting company.
Here is my practical guide for choosing a reliable hosting company. I have to admit that, as with these techniques, we have never had a problem with one of the hosting companies that we sell.
1. Select the server operating system you need.
Before you start choosing the best hosting company, you should know if you're a Windows or you need a hosting a Linux. This depends on theApplication that you host there. Ask your programmers and designers, the server type you need, they will probably help with this issue. Even some Windows servers also support PHP and MySQL if you really have to plan is a Linux, it is better to get a Linux-plan and not a Windows to Linux supports extensions.
2. Determine how much space you need.
Nowadays, almost all hosting plan a large amount of disk space and data transfer. ButMINI, there are some plans, the two functions that are not too high. Perhaps you are considering building a small application, host and you only need a large amount of data transferred, perhaps you plan to host many types of media (images, videos, etc.), and you need extra space. Before beginning the search for a hosting company, you should estimate the amount of disk space and data transfer that are required companies at least for the next few years. You can also help with your programmer andDesigners.
3. Search for popular hosting company.
After the server setup you will need (Windows, Linux, etc.), and the disk speed / data transfer for your business to know, you can begin searching the web for companies that provide hosting services. Do not panic. They are thousands of companies, which are found your potential hosting provider, but be sure that only a few deserve that responsibility. The best way forCompany is searching for a recommendation. Ask your colleagues, talk to other businesses and let them say their experience with their hosting provider. At this point, I recommend you open a table and to collect all the information you find for any company to help you with the final decision. It is important to pay close attention to and see if it carries out a plan that provides fits your needs.
