A Basic Web Hosting Walkthrough

So you've got an idea for a website, but don't know where to start? You're not alone. Every day thousands of new webmasters, like yourself, get confused when trying to find a good web hosting provider and understanding what all the listed features of the available hosting plans really mean. While I don't have enough time to go into major details here, hopefully I can help make your passage through the muddy waters of web hosting a little easier.

If price is an issue then find a list of companies and compare their prices and features. You can find websites that do exactly that. Just search for the term "top web hosting providers". Also there are many companies offering a free domain with the hosting account. Make sure you learn all the companies offers and discounts.



Is the name you want already taken? Chances are this is a good possibility. Unless you hold the copyright on the name there is little chance you can get it inexpensively.

If you have been buying traffic to read more your website and it goes offline, you are still being charged for all of those visits to your website, which they never saw. The money you are spending on your ad campaign AdWords program or Hostinger other traffic sources is going right down the drain. You cannot afford to choose a web host that does not respond quickly when you have a problem.

Added Features: Instant Install is a feature offered by most web hosts these days even if they call it another name. It's an automated process for installing databases and database driven features you can add to your website like photo galleries, forums, blogs, content management systems, calendars, guestbooks, and more. It's just as easy to choose a web-hosting provider that gives you these features in case you need them as it is to choose one that doesn't. Again, room to grow is important.



Next, you will need to be careful about the customer support of the companies. Why? Because it is vital important. If your sites are not working properly, people could not come to your sites and you could not make money. It is as simple as that.

It is very important to put above 6 items into your web hosting check list. What you eyes tells you is not always truth, because sometimes the truth is hidden somewhere you need to find out.
