Web Hosting Tips to Remember When Choosing a Web Hosting Company

1.Goodwill of the web hosting company.

There are web-hosting companies on the web, which are running successfully for at least 2 years and are usually handled by experience and IT savvy network engineers. The biggest advantage of such companies is their perfect support and services to their customers. However there is yet another world of hosting which is handled by amateurs who are into this business just to extract money. For them providing support is just a joke as even they don’t know the fundamentals of the business. Thus one must be very sure to check the credentials of the web-hosting firm by either reading their profile or by looking on the technology they use for their server farm. One must make sure to select a company, which is in existence for at least 2 years with successful track record with 95% up time for all its servers. If a company is providing 95% its quite enough as 100% is just impossible.


2. Availability of storage space.

There are web-hosting companies offering space ranging from as small as 20 MB to as big as 2GB or even more. But this largely depends upon the user. One must make sure that his/her budget should not get fail by asking for unnecessary space than required. This trend is quite common among beginners, as they are unable to estimate the amount of space their web site requires and so asks for bigger space in order to play safe which is mere wastage of money. Thus one should be very careful while selecting the storage space for his/her website. It should not be less than required but at the same time should not be very much wasting money.

3. Availability of bandwidth space for transferring data each month

Its always required to transfer data to website and update its content often in order to stay afresh and also to keep ratings high up on the search engines right. There are several web hosting companies offering a certain bandwidth or “transfer window” to enable their clients to transport their data from local computer hard disk drive to the web server. But this transfer window has a limitation of limited space in order to prevent the bandwidth overloading from user’s repeatedly transferring large amounts of data to and fro. Therefore a bandwidth space is allocated to enable one to manage the amount data he/she wants to transfer each month into the storage space allocated. One should note that the data that one transfers is constantly kept track of until one has reach the transfer limit for that month. Now on this ground most web hosting companies tend to be mean so as to provide so called “high speed data transfer” to their clients and restrict bandwidth off at 1GB.

4. Support-Online as well as offline.

Support is an area often overlooked by the beginners while signing up for a web-hosting contract. However it should be noted that support is the most important feature one should check while selecting a web hosting company. It is very important for 24 hour successful running of a website that there is always any technical fellow from the hosting company to answer the calls and ensure the website staying up and running even at odd time. Thus it is important to have 24 hours support everyday of the week and also relevant safety measures implemented in the data center at which one’s server resides. Not only this it is also important to find out more about the location of the data center about the power supply facilities, its location and also the safety measures that have been put in place such as fire protection and relevant data backup facilities to a remote location as a safety should a physical destruction occur that literally wipes out the whole data center.
