Things To Avoid When Choosing Web Hosting

So, you need hosting for the great website you have planned. You do a mandatory Google Search and find out that there are many web hosting companies. They all offer what you need (Web Hosting) and you find that prices vary from free to unlimited. You also find that there are many features among which some that you do not know what they mean. So now what you thought of as an easy task suddenly turns into a semester of study at your local college. Trust me, I know what you're going through. Through trial, error, and error I've made, I've learned that not all web hosting is created equal. While there are many features and hosting plans offered by web hosting companies, there are five basics you should make sure you get when choosing your hosting provider.

Database

Make sure you get enough databases to support and expand your website. All blogging, forums, and websites that use Dynamic data applications or capture user data require a database to function. Unfortunately, most shared hosting plans only offer one to five databases; this can limit your ability to expand and may not be enough to run the planned functionality on your website. The minimum number of databases you should search is ten. Granted, you may not need so many, but if you do, they will be available without having to spend extra money to add to the database. Usually, higher priced hosting plans offer more databases, but you shouldn't have to choose a more expensive plan to get 10 databases.

Dual Domain

Web hosting companies usually limit the number of domains you can serve from your hosting plan. Some hosting plans, usually lower-priced or free plans, only allow one domain name per plan. If you are sure that you will have only one website, then this will not be a problem. However, if you plan on having multiple websites, then you should look for a hosting plan that offers the ability to host multiple sites from a single hosting plan. A hosting plan that offers at least 5 domains is the minimum. You should be aware that the resources of your hosting server will be shared by all the domains assigned to the web hosting plan. Make sure the plan you get provides enough disk space, bandwidth, and databases to keep multiple sites running.

Developer Support

Developer support is the primary test run for any Web host. Maybe you start with a simple website, but as time goes by, often you may want to add additional functionality or features to your site. Also, when adding a new website

Your hosting plan, additional capabilities may be required. This is where a hosting provider can easily make or break your plan. If your web hosting provider is limited in developer languages or web application offerings, you may have to look for a new hosting provider. This is not the thing you want to do. Having multiple hosting accounts or hosting providers is a sure way to confusion and frustration.

Most hosting companies offer a variety of language support and other application support, but why not get them all. Yes, there are hosting providers that offer everything you will need and do not require additional costs. No matter what hosting plan you are considering, make sure you get the most adequate support. Here is a list of the most popular website development items:

* PHP

* MySQL

* Ruby on Rails

* Python

* CGI

* Perl

* Java

• ASP.net

* Coldfusion

* Frontpage Server Extensions

* Content Management Tools

* E-Commerce solutions

* Project Management Tools

* Blog

* Message Board/Forum Tools

* Photo Gallery Tool

* Administration Tools

* Other website add-ons

So, when choosing a web hosting provider, make sure you avoid the following:

Lack of sufficient database.

Single domain restrictions.

Limited developer support.

Lack of essential developer language features and support.

There is no support for website development and addition tools.

By paying attention to these things, you will be able to choose a web hosting provider that meets your needs and ensures the success of your website in the future

Customer Support

Working late at night on that website, or maybe on weekends? Had a deadline to operate the site but suddenly encountered a problem. It is possible that you just found out that you need an additional web application or database. It can be very frustrating and sometimes expensive if you can't get customer support from your hosting company when you need it (on your schedule). Always look for a web hosting service provider that provides 24x7 customer support. That means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and I'm not just talking about email support. Support via email is important and should be part of a customer support package, but what you really want is support over the phone. Many problems or issues require discussion to achieve quick troubleshooting, sending-emailing can take days or sometimes weeks. Your number one tool for support should be the phone, make sure your web hosting company is up and running when you need it. You will want to make sure that there is an online knowledge base as well. Not only is the knowledge base useful for answering questions, but it is also very useful as a learning tool.

Server Uptime

Your website should operate 24x7. However, there are things that happen in the real world that can sometimes cause a website to die.

Regardless of real-world issues, your web hosting provider should offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee. With today's internet technology, there are ways to make sure a website remains functional almost every minute of every day. Don't settle for a hosting company that can't guarantee your website stays up all the time.

Web hosting is the backbone of your website's success. Although the content of your site is very important, deficiencies in your web hosting service will inevitably lead to the failure of your site. The hosting company you start with will most likely be the one you use in the long run, so take the time to choose the right web hosting company from the start, you'll be sure to be glad you did.
