Web Hosting Explained

Web Hosting allows your web site to be connected to the internet by storing it on a secure high speed web server so that its information can be viewed globally. When choosing a suitable web-host the most important considerations are:

Reliability: Reliable servers mean your website is always available. Unreliable servers will cause downtime preventing access to your site and could lead to data loss.
Customer Support: Can you contact your hosting provider easily?
Speed and quality of the servers and their connections: Fast servers and connections allow fast, efficient access to your website
Storage Space: This determines the number of pages and type of multimedia content your site can contain.
Bandwidth Allowance: Every time a visitor views a page on your website, they download some information from the web-server, using some bandwidth. The more visits your site gets and the more information is downloaded, and the more bandwidth you will require.
Flexibility: Can you upgrade your account and allowances easily?
Features: What features are included? Do you need any particular features such as MySQl databases, Secure areas etc?
Analysis Software: Does the package include traffic analysis statisitcs?
Cost: What is the cost? Are there any hidden extras?
