While you are on line shopping for cheap internet web site hosting I just want to give you a heads up on what to look for. If you already know what I am about to tell you…my apologies. But I know there are many more new people on line building web sites than ever before, so this article is for them.
There are a few companies out there that offer a really low upfront price, but many times you will be getting really low quality service to go along with that low price. And maybe not even everything you need to get your new web site up and running smoothly.
Before you choose your web host, you may want to do a little planning upfront. What’s the minimum amount of service and features that the cheap web hosting company you decide on can have, and still host your website successful?
In other words what do you need? Here’s a few things you may want to consider.
Will You Need E-Commerce Capabilities?
How Much Band Width Will You Need?
How Much Disk Space Will You Need?
Does The Web Hosting Company You Are Considering Offer 24/7 Customer Support?
Will You Need PHP/My-SQL/CGI/Perl?
Will You Have More Than One Website? If So You May Need A Virtual Host?
The Internet is really content driven nowadays, so are you planning on hosting a lot of content on your site? How many pages will your site have? If you’re planning on trying to get your site listed near the top of Google’s natural search listings you could be planning a lot of content. So the amount of disk space that comes with your monthly hosting fee will be an issue. There are many companies on line that will give you unlimited disk space. Just do a little homework before you choose.
Will your site have a lot of graphics, pictures, and videos? Is your plan to send a lot of visitors to your site? The more graphics, pictures, videos, and visitors to your site, the more bandwidth you will need. Every time a page loads on your site it uses up bandwidth. The more graphics pictures and videos you have on your site, the more bandwidth you will need. So that means the more visitors you have to your site, the more times pages will load, and in turn the more bandwidth you will use.
So in summary:
A) You will probably want to really think about the plans you have for your site. What are the basic services you will need?
B) Know what you are getting up front from any cheap internet web site hosting company you consider.
