subject: Web Hosting And Business Websites [print this page] If your website is essential to your business, as many websites are, then the chances are that you will have invested a great deal of time and money into it. To begin with, a lot of careful thought will have gone into finding just the right domain name. Then your website will have been designed, developed and built and honed to perfection - and at great cost, to make sure that it presents your corporate image perfectly and is easy for your potential clients and customers to use. Plus you will have taken all the necessary steps to make sure that it can be found by anyone looking for your products or services by engaging in an SEO campaign. This again will probably be at great expense.
One of the things many companies or individuals do not really think about with regards to their website is which hosting company will be the right one for them. It is not simply a matter of finding a cheap web hosting company. You need to understand what a web hosting company does and how it affects you. A web host, whether it is a cheap web hosting company or an expensive one, allows your website to be connected to the World Wide Web. Without web hosting, your website cannot be seen or accessed by other people including your customers and clients.
What you need is a web hosting company that can guarantee that your business website can be seen 100% of the time. In practice, most companies offer around 85% uptime but here at eUKHost our business hosting packages run with a mirroring system, it is like having two hosts running side by side, if one goes down then the other takes over, ergo your website can be seen 100% of the time.
