HIGHLY RECOMMENDED WEB HOSTING

Most free web hosts impose advertising on your website. This is done to cover the costs of providing your site the free web space and associated services. Some hosts require you to place a banner on your pages, others display a window that pops up everytime a page on your site loads, while still others impose an advertising frame on your site. There is really no hard and fast rule which is to be preferred: some people hate a pop-up window, other webmasters dislike having to stuff banner codes onto their pages, and many people cannot stand an advertising frame (which may cause problems when you submit your website to search engines). Whichever method is used, check that you’re comfortable with the method.

Note that free web hosts without forced advertisements aren’t necessarily good news. Without a viable means to recover the costs of running their server, many of them close with alarming frequency. 2. Amount of web space

Does it have enough space for your needs? If you envisage that you will expand your site eventually, you might want to cater for future expansion. Most sites use less than 5MB of web space. Indeed, at one time, one of my other web sites, thefreecountry.com, used less than 5MB of space although it had about 150 pages on the site. Your needs will vary, depending on how many pictures your pages use, whether you need sound files, video clips, etc. 3. FTP access

(In case you’re wondering: What is FTP?)

Some free hosting providers only allow you to design your page with their online builder. While this is useful for beginners, do you have the option to expand later when you become experienced and their online page builder does not have the facility you need? FTP access, or at the very least, the ability to upload your pages by email or browser, is needed. Personally, I feel FTP access is mandatory, except for the most trivial site. 4. File type and size limitations

Watch out for these. Some free hosts impose a maximum size on each of the files you upload (including one with a low of 200KB). Other sites restrict the file types you can upload to HTML and GIF/JPG files. If your needs are different, eg, if you want to distribute your own programs on your pages, you will have to look elsewhere. 5. Reliability and speed of access

This is extremely important. A site that is frequently down will lose a lot of visitors. If someone finds your site on the search engine, and he tries to access it but find that it is down, he’ll simply go down the list to find another site. Slow access is also very frustrating for visitors (and for you too, when you upload your site). How do you know if a host is reliable or fast? If you can’t get feedback from anyone, one way is to try it out yourself over a period of time, both during peak as well as non-peak hours. After all, it is free, so you can always experiment with it. 6. Perl and PHP

(In case you’re wondering: What is PHP and Perl?)

This is not particularly crucial nowadays for a free web host, since there are so many free script hosting services available that provide counters, search engines, forms, polls, mailing lists, etc, without requiring you to dabble with Perl or PHP scripts.

However if you really want to do it yourself, with the minimum of advertising banners from these free providers, you will need either PHP or Perl access. Note that it is not enough to know they provide PHP or Perl access: you need to know the kind of environment your scripts run under: is it so restrictive that they are of no earthly use? For PHP scripts, does your web host allow you to use the mail() function? For Perl scripts, do you have access to sendmail or its workalike? 7. Bandwidth allotment

Nowadays, many free web hosts impose a limit on the amount of traffic your website can use per day and per month. This means that if the pages (and graphic images) on your site is loaded by visitors beyond a certain number of times per day (or per month), the web host will disable your web site (or perhaps send you a bill). It is difficult to recommend a specific minimum amount of bandwidth, since it depends on how you design your site, your target audience, and the number of visitors you’re able to attract to your site. In general, 100MB traffic per month is too little for anything other than your personal home page and 1-3GB traffic per month is usually adequate for a simple site just starting out. Your mileage, however, will vary.

Choosing a Commercial Web Host

1. Reliability and speed of access

Not only should the web host be reliable and fast, it should guarantee its uptime (the time when it is functional). Look for a minimum uptime of 99%. In fact, even 99% is actually too low – it really should be 99.5% or higher. The host should provide some sort of refund (eg prorated refund or discount) if it falls below that figure. Note though that guarantees are often hard to enforce from your end – the host usually requires all sorts of documentation. However, without that guarantee, the web host will have little incentive to ensure that its servers are running all the time. 2. Data Transfer (Traffic/Bandwidth)

Data transfer (sometimes loosely referred to as “traffic” or “bandwidth”) is the amount of bytes transferred from your site to visitors when they browse your site.

Don’t believe any commercial web host that advertises “unlimited bandwidth”. The host has to pay for the bandwidth, and if you consume a lot of it, they will not silently bear your costs. Many high bandwidth websites have found this out the hard way when they suddenly receive an exhorbitant bill for having “exceeded” the “unlimited bandwidth”. Always look for details on how much traffic the package allows. I personally always stay clear of any host that advertises “unlimited transfer”, even if the exact amount is specified somewhere else (sometimes buried in their policy statements). Usually you will find that they redefine “unlimited” to be limited in some way.

In addition, while bandwidth provided is something you should always check, do not be unduly swayed by promises of incredibly huge amounts of bandwidth. Chances are that your website will never be able to use that amount because it will hit other limits, namely resource limits. For more details, see the article The Fine Print in Web Hosting: Resource Usage Limits.

To give you a rough idea of the typical traffic requirements of a website, most new sites that are not software archives or the like use less than 3 GB of bandwidth per month. Your traffic requirements will grow over time, as your site becomes more well-known (and well-linked), so you will need to also check their policy for overages: is there a published charge per GB over the allowed bandwidth? Is the charge made according to actual usage or are you expected to pre-pay for a potential overage? It is better not to go for hosts that expect you to prepay for overages, since it is very hard to forsee when your site will exceed its bandwidth and by how much. 3. Disk space

For the same reason as bandwidth, watch out also for those “unlimited disk space” schemes. Most sites need less than 10 MB of web space, so even if you are provided with a host that tempts you with 200 MB or 500 MB (or “unlimited space”), be aware that you are unlikely to use that space, so don’t let the 500 MB space be too big a factor in your consideration when comparing with other web hosts. The hosting company is also aware of that, which is why they feel free to offer you that as a means of enticing you to host there. As a rough gauge, thefreecountry.com, which had about 150 pages when this article was first written, used less than 5 MB for its pages and associated files. 4. Technical support

Does its technical support function 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (often abbreviated 24/7), all year around? Note that I will not accept a host which does not have staff working on weekends or public holidays. You will be surprised at how often things go wrong at the most inconvenient of times. Incidentally, just because a host advertises that it has 24/7 support does not necessarily mean that it really has that kind of support. Test them out by emailing at midnight and on Saturday nights, Sunday mornings, etc. Check out how long they take to respond. Besides speed of responses, check to see if they are technically competent. You wouldn’t want to sign up for a host that is run by a bunch of salesmen who only know how to sell and not fix problems. 5. FTP, PHP, Perl, SSI, .htaccess, telnet, SSH, MySQL, crontabs

If you are paying for a site, you really should make sure you have all of these.

Note that some commercial hosts do not allow you to install PHP or Perl scripts (“What is PHP and Perl?”) without their approval. This is not desirable since it means that you have to wait for them before you can implement a feature on your site. “.htaccess” is needed if you are to do things like customize your error pages (pages that display when, say, a user requests for a non-existent page on your site) or to protect your site in various ways (such as to prevent bandwidth theft and hotlinking, etc).

Telnet or SSH access is useful for certain things, including testing certain scripts (programs), maintaining databases, etc. MySQL (“What is MySQL?”) is needed if you want to run a blog or a content management system. Cron is a type of program scheduler that lets you run programs at certain times of the day (eg, once a day). Check to see if these facilities are provided. 6. SSL (secure server), Shopping Cart

If you are planning on doing any sort of business through your website, you might want to look out to see if the host provides these facilities. These facilities normally involve a higher priced package or additional charges. The main thing is to check to see if they are available at all before you commit to the host. You will definitely need SSL if you want to collect credit card payments on your site. 7. Email, Autoresponders, POP3, Mail Forwarding

If you have your own site, you would probably want to have email addresses at your own domain, like sales@yourdomain.com, etc. Does the host provide this with the package? Does it allow you to have a catch-all email account that causes any email address at your domain to be routed to you? Can you set an email address to automatically reply to the sender with a preset message (called an autoresponder)? Can you retrieve your mail with your email software? Can it be automatically forwarded to your current email address? 8. Control Panel

This is called various names by different hosts, but essentially, they all allow you to manage different aspects of your web account yourself. Typically, and at the very minimum, it should allow you to do things like add, delete, and manage your email addresses, and change passwords for your account. I would not go for a host where I have to go through their technical support each time I want to change a password or add/delete an email account. Such chores are common maintenance chores that every webmaster performs time and time again, and it would be a great hassle if you had to wait for their technical support to make the changes for you. 9. Multiple Domain Hosting and Subdomains

For those who are thinking of selling web space or having multiple domains or subdomains hosted in your account, you should look to see if they provide this, and the amount extra that they charge for this (whether it is a one-time or monthly charge, etc). 10. Server

Is the type of operating system and server important? Whether you think so or not on the theoretical level, there are a few practical reasons for looking out for the type of server.

In general, if you want to use things like write/use ASP programs, you have no choice but to look for a Windows server.

Otherwise my preference is to sign up for accounts using the often cheaper, more stable and feature-laden Unix systems running the Apache server. In fact, if dynamically generated pages that can access databases (etc) is what you want, you can always use the more portable (and popular) PHP instead of tying yourself down to ASP. Another reason to prefer Unix-based web hosts (which include web hosts using systems like Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, etc) using the Apache web server is that these servers allow you to configure a lot of facilities that you typically need on your site (error pages, protecting your images, blocking email harvesters, blocking IP addresses, etc) without having to ask your web host to implement them. Knowledge about configuring Apache servers is also widely available, and can be found on thesitewizard.com’s Configuring Apache and .htaccess pages as well.

For those interested, you can read another discussion on the matter in the “Should You Choose a Linux or a Windows Web Hosting Package? Is There Such a Thing as a Mac Web Host?” article. 11. Price

I was actually hesitant to list this, but I guess it’s futile not to. However, I would caution that while price is always a factor, you should realise that you often get what you pay for, although it’s not necessarily true that the most expensive hosts are the best. 12. Monthly/Quarterly/Annual Payment Plans

Most web hosts allow you to select an annual payment plan that gives you a cheaper rate than if you were to pay monthly. My current personal preference is to pay monthly with all new web hosts until

QuickBooks is a line of business accounting software which highly simplifies accounting tasks. It is a very widely used application. It organizes your finances, all in one place.

There’s a bunch of people doing business online these days, so why not jump and join the bandwagon? However, before you can actually start promoting your products, you would have to first set up your very own webpage. This means, you have to look for a Web hosting provider that will help you fire up your online presence. Finding a reliable web hosting service can be much easier through the help of some web hosting reviews.

You should know, however, that web hosting reviews can be tricky sometimes, and looking for a dependable one is twice as daunting as looking for a credible web host provider. It’s difficult to spot which review is telling the truth and which is not. Moreover, it’s also a bit harder to find a review that is written with a basis. Let’s admit it; the competition on the Internet has become tougher these days, making it harder to find the things that are worthy of our trust. Thus, in order for you to get hold of those dependable web hosting reviews, here are some things you need to bear in mind:

- Read between the lines. When you’re reading a review, it’s not enough that you take the information as it is. You have to go deeper and see whether the review is really believable or not. Take note of the tone and the language used by a writer. You’ll know that what you’re reading is credible when it is written in professional tone, with no grammar and spelling errors.

- Watch out for details and specifics. The more details included in the review, the more you should count on it. Some reviews may present the details and specs in a table format, but it’s always good to read on a detailed narrative that covers everything about the company and its services.

- Dependable reviews are always up to date. Web hosting companies constantly change their packages and services in order to keep up with the fast changing trend on the Web. To know if a review is updated when it is consistent with what is published on the web hosting company’s own website.

- Unbiased reviews cover both the positive and negative aspects of a certain web hosting service provider. It should not appear like a sales copy. Instead, it should be written on a personal basis.

- Check out customer feedback. The best way to measure the performance of a certain web hosting provider is through comments made by people who have actually tried using the service. In this way, it would be easier for you to weigh the services offered by a certain web hosting companies, and whether or not, it’s going to work well with your online business. It would help if you compare several feedbacks pointing to a single company. This allows for a more comprehensive comparison and helps you in deciding which web hosting provider is the best for you.

In order for your online business to flourish, you need to entrust your website to a reliable web hosting company that has garnered applause from a handful of satisfied clients. A good hosting provider can help users create a brand of their on the World Wide Web, and that is through having a lucrative and quality website.  Therefore, it is very important to find a provider that can give you the best hosting services for your Web page needs. In this regard, it is always important to read web hosting reviews first before signing up for an account.

Web hosting review sites are just as many as the web hosting providers over the Web. So it’s not that difficult looking for credible information. However, the problem comes in when you’re caught in a dilemma of whether to believe what you’re reading or not. Such reaction cannot be blamed because it’s hard to know if a review is honest or purely non-sensible. With the abundance of information virtually printed on the online world, you have nothing else to do but rely on your instinct. Daunting, isn’t it? But somehow, there are still ways on how you can find straightforward, honest, and unbiased reviews.

You’ll know if a web hosting review is credible if the information published are substantial, sensible and with depth. In the same way, a reputable web hosting review site allows online users to share clear descriptions about the hosting provider that they want to share. They are also allowed to point out negative information to help warn the future online users. You can check the credibility of a review site through their page ranking on search engines like Yahoo and Google. In this way, you’d be able to have a better judgment that can help you in deciding which web hosting provider to choose.

An honest review is written by someone who has actually tried using one of the web hosting services found online. He writes based on his experience and he writes with an honest conviction. The content of the review has more depth and it discusses every single detail about the featured service. You can also check for consistency. An active user can very well discuss every component of the service in a consistent manner. That is, no matter how much information he gives, everything seems to be connected in some ways. He also reveals the pros and cons of the service. However, don’t easily fall unless you have read at least 4 or 5 reviews that tell the same thing about a particular hosting company.

To find these reviews, you can choose to join web hosting forums or group discussions. These are the places where you would most likely spot honest and noteworthy reviews. Most of the members in these places are people who have already tried using hosting services. They are there to give their opinions and suggestions that can help future users decide which hosting services is best for their website needs.

Your business website totally depends on your web host. They determine their visibility, accessibility and control the traffic for your website as well. Obviously you need to consider lots of things before deciding upon a particular website hosting provider. You generally go through the web hosting reviews before deciding upon which one to choose and which not to choose. But have you ever considered that even your web host reviews could be promotional article also?

The world is full of spam and frauds. And the web is supposedly the worst affected. The main reason being no one can see you and know who you are. You might claim to do a lot and deliver nothing at all and then just escape. The rise of online business and consequently websites has resulted in a very high competition in the website hosting industry resulting in the springing up of hundreds of web hosting companies. But whom do you trust? Everyone is claiming to be the best. Well herein comes the good role of the website hosting reviews. They give you out and out information on the various web hosts that are available and which provide what facility. You might go through these reviews and know which website hosting company suits your requirement the most and choose accordingly.

But there is a darker side to it as well. There are many not so good web hosts that have paid for good reviews to be written about them. Like this they misguide people and a lot of people end up choosing the worst of web hosts around. They might have read the incredibility and high performance of these companies and chosen and in no time their website crashes. Or may be the web pages do not open at all. So do not trust every other web hosting reviews you see. Browse through many and tally their reviews. The best web hosting company is best anyways and will probably feature in all of these. Try to think smartly and observe.

Web Hosting is a booming industry. And you need top class web host for your website. For example it must provide unlimited space, unlimited bandwidth. They should allow you to expand whenever you require. Support various languages and should be able to deal with high traffic. See that your web hosting company has a good customer support and a full money back guarantee in case you aren’t satisfied. Even when you are reading the web host reviews you think are the best, be alert and look for signs. A good review will state the pros and cons alike as their main aim would be to help you choose the best. It’s particularly wise to trust the reputed reviewing sites when choosing the very vital web hosting company for your website.

One usually thinks that he/she will receive same services with the certain range of price, which type of host it doesn’t matter. This is not a fact. Basically, one will not find differences in the web hosting but if one will carefully analyze there will be a vast difference between each one of them. Some of which are not adequate to user’s business. There are several hosts charging a month for a particular package which one can get at the rate of a month with other hosting provider.

Mentioned below are 3 of the steps following which one can end up on an ideal hosting selection.

1. Deciding one’s Price range:

Price is the top most concern. One can spend anything to meet his/her requirements ranging from a few dollars a month to a few hundred. There is no one but the user who knows about his/her requirement and about his/her budget. One should consider it. Here one should find providers offering shared and dedicated hosting solutions. It is quite crucial to know the actual disparity among the two. Normally, it is shared web hosting is more inexpensive as compare to dedicated hosting. In the case of shared hosting their will be several web sites on the same server making it quite affordable for each individual.

Due to this reason only a large amount of individuals and businesses began with shared hosting and its reliability and consistency is increasing day by day due to which several businesses have raised on the basis of price and reliability. One can get web hosting prices generally in the range of to a month. If one will talks about Dedicated hosting then the user will have all the right to exploit entire resources. User will command the web server according to the available resources. When it comes to this type of hosting it will differ in both the price and services. It can be from a month to a huge amount of 0-0 a month. Certainly, here one will enjoy a reliable service and command over content and customization area.

2. Deciding one’s Needs:

What is the requirement of the user? However, one cannot deny the fact that web hosting has become quite affordable and competitive over the last few years but one should first search out the answers of few of the basic questions. Is user’s requirement is the 100% uptime i.e. 24/7/365 or just the modest uptime i.e. 99.9% which one can find at a cheap price as per the standardization of industry in comparison to a SLA (Service Level Agreement). What is user are Criteria regarding support? Does the requirement is 24/7/365 email support or in addition to it phone support? Loss of potential data is a topic which is quite crucial but generally overlooked by the user. Does user should ensure that his/her web host offers back up / restore services or rather an option to ad it or which one can buy on additional cost. Several user’s take it easy as it is automatic but one should mind it that without proper inquiry and involvement in the package it is not going to be accomplish. Requirement of quantity of email accounts and databases can be the other criteria. If the user possesses employees then the probability is that they would like individual email accounts for the use in interoffice and external communication. While user is opting for a strategy to run an e-commerce shopping cart or rather a community forum of any sort then requirement of one or more databases is must.

Normally, email accounts are standard but several hosts demands additional amount for databases and/or limit as per their business structure. Next, important aspect is the amount of disk space and data transfer required by the user? Now a day’s disk space and data transfer are available quite cheap. It is the Performance, features, reliability, and customer service for which the user is paying. For instance, if in the future user feels requirement of graphics resulting in large data base then it is not bad to have much disk space in advance because user may not feel its importance in beginning but it can be fruitful with respect to future strategy.

3. Accomplishing one’s Homework:

After considering above steps one should go for the research mode. The step deals with the outlook of providers. User should start his/her research from host’s own web site. The web site of several companies has a section called “about us” through which one can inquire about their background/history and a synopsis regarding their products, services, infrastructure etc. one should also go through their terms and policies regarding privacy and service. No doubt, one should be aware of the depth of the lake in which he/she is diving into. This is because several problems may arise later on if the user do not have the in depth knowledge of his/her concern host. By going through these policies one may have insight knowledge on restrictions between providers and which direction one should proceed by avoiding any trouble as per changing scenario. There are several companies delivering a customer testimonial and FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page in addition to it. User can consider Testimonials as a source of providing useful information about kinds of web sites being hosted and the way the company is delivering services to its present customers. If FAQ page delivered by the company is accurate then one can solve majority of problems in a very simple manner, whether the problem is related to sales or technical doesn’t matter. Certainly, one of the crucial ways to conclude research on the concern host is to charge them with questions/need which may not be apparently answered.

Thus at the end we can say that there are literally hundreds of specific needs that any one company or individual requires while searching for web hosting services.

How much bandwidth will my website use?With so much variation among web hosting companies, it can sometimes be difficult to know how much bandwidth your website will need. So, how much is a gigabyte of bandwidth anyway? Let’s put it in perspective. If an average web page, images and all is 50 kilobytes in size, your website could be viewed 20,000 times! For the average hobby website, that is more than enough. Let’s further put that 20,000 in perspective. If each visitor to your website viewed an average of 4 pages per month, it would still represent over 5,000 unique visitors to your website every month.Beware of bandwidth usage when offering file downloads.

While offering simple web pages doesn’t use up much bandwidth, the same can’t be said about downloading files. If you plan on allowing people to download music files, pdf files, flash files, or video files, you can eat up bandwidth in a hurry even with a relatively small number of people visiting your website. If your website offers an adobe .pdf file that is 1 megabyte in size, with one gigabyte of bandwidth, you will only be able to serve up one thousand downloads. This does not including the html needed to get people to download the pdf in the first place.Video files eat up even more space. A one megabyte video file represents only seconds of video.

For a half hour presentation, your video file could easily be over two hundred megabytes in size! At that size, one gigabyte would only allow you to offer five downloads to your visitors. What you plan to do with your website most definitely will affect how much monthly bandwidth you anticipate needing.Overselling bandwidth is common in the web hosting industryBecause more people use only a fraction of their allotted bandwidth per month, most web hosting providers price their plans knowing that most people will only use a fraction of the resources available to them. In fact, with most companies, if you did use the maximum bandwidth available to you each month, you would most likely be shut down.

If you go with a shared hosting account, your website can be hosted with hundreds or thousands of other websites. If your website starts to use a significant portion of the server’s resources, you may find them pulling the plug on your website. If you know your website is going to need significant resources, you should probably consider getting yourself a dedicated server.Knowing what you plan to do will allow you to know how much you needBy knowing what you plan to do with your hosting account, you can have a pretty good idea of how much bandwidth you’re going to need. If you anticipate that you will be needing to serve lots of multimedia including video, music and large amounts of flash powered pages, you may need to consider going with a dedicated server.

If your website is just starting out and you have little money and no real idea of how much bandwidth you’re going to need, pick a company that gives you more than you think you’ll need at a reasonable price. Make sure you also find out how much they will charge you for any bandwidth you use above and beyond what comes in your hosting package. If it is one dollar per megabyte and you’ve already exceeded a twenty gigabyte bandwidth limit, changes are, you’ll get one hefty bill at the end of the month. When shopping around and looking at bandwidth, keep the overage cost in mind as well and you’ll do fine.
