subject: Who Is A Superior Web Hosting Company To Go With? [print this page] So you have created a site and you are ready to put it live on the world wide web. Well if you do not already know you should understand that web pages have to have their files hosted somewhere. You can host it yourself on your own pc but you have to have a specific web connection and some firewall settings that if not set up appropriately can murder your computer. I would suggest using an outside host when you are primary starting out just so you make sure that the whole thing is done right and you can later think about hosting on your own.
So who is the preeminent host on line today? Well that is a excellent question. You first need to understand what constitutes a great host. What exactly to you need and then who offers what you need the most excellent? I for example I want individuals to come to my site so I will need a host that will not shut down when a group of individuals visit my page. I also want to have a email that shows myname@mysite.com that way I look a little supplementary expert then my opposition who has a yahoo or gmail account. I would prefer to have a host that doesn't cost me an arm and leg as well.
So once you have your precise criteria it will be easier to narrow down precisely what you want in a web host. Here are a few organizations that I have looked into and I do currently use one of them.
The first corporation I use is meditemple.net. They charge me $20 per month for hosting and can handle up to 100 domains. I have twenty four hr access to my records and rarely have down time. I have had up to 60,000 visitors in one day and the server handled it pretty high-quality. I like this host and so far I plan on sticking with them for a while.
Another high-quality host I hear about is Hostgator. I have never used them but they are a good deal more affordable than mediatemple (I think around $9 per month). I think they have the same performance as mediatemple but like I said I have never used them so I am not entirely sure how they work.
The last company I have used before but don't anymore is 3ix.org. They have cheap hosting around $12 per year which is nice but they can't handle much traffic. If you want to play around with a site these guys are good purely because they will get you up on the internet and if you start getting traffic later you can always transfer over later.
These are just a few hosts I have used and would suggest. There are hundreds on the net today but the greatest way to pick one is to first decide exactly what it is you in fact want and then find a host that fulfills the need.
