3 Steps to Find the Perfect Host for Your Business
New Blog Post
If you have ever looked in to having a website, then you will have had to look into the wonderful world of internet hosting.
A website needs to be stored somewhere- it needs to be in a place that is accessible to visitors right round the world. The ability to store it on that “accessible place” is called “hosting”. This means storing your website and related data on a server or a series of servers. Servers don’t just store websites- they can also store databases, email and much more. A hosting provider is just a company that provides the facilities to host your website.
The Problem
The problem is that there are so many hosting companies out there offering different products with levels of services. You’ll soon find out how many there are, if you type in Web Hosting into Google!
Some have an excellent reputation and others do not. Some are cheap (£1/$1 per year for example) or even free, and some might need you to get an extra mortgage on your house to pay for their services! Some will offer shared hosting or a dedicated server. Then there is all this talk of bandwidth and some offering “unlimited” bandwidth. It’s a bit of a nightmare!
Finding the perfect host for you can be quite an ordeal. This article is designed to give you a bit of help and is based on some of the experiences I’ve had. My main advice is to try and be as clued up as you can and make sure you are asking the right questions.
