What is Web Hosting?
Is it actually a location where your website or blog reside? There are text files and graphic files that will be stored and saved for editing and publishing on the World Wide Web. The Web hosting companies have numerous servers that act as a data center. Folks who are looking for web hosting are typically newbie or novice type of Internet Marketing people and have no idea what they are looking for.
Here is information on what a person(s) should be looking for when it comes to web hosting.
1. Cost: How much do they charge per month? They usually start from $4.00 a month to about $50.00 bucks a month for a dedicated server. A dedicated server is where you have sole ownership of this server. A server is just another fancy word for a computer with mucho more memory than the average personal computer. No other client has a lease to the server.
2. A shared server is where you have numerous clients using the same server and is the reason why the cost is much lower. If you are just starting out this is what you want.
3. Storage: Anything over 300 Gigabytes is enough for the newbie Internet Marketer.
4. Bandwidth: Is data transfer rate which is the amount of data that can be carried from one point to another in a given time period (usually a second). 3,000 gigabytes of bandwidth is fast and if you are just starting out this amount is more than enough.
5. Support: This in my opinion is what really matters. Whenever a problem arises you have to get support asap. Here are a few things to look for whenever you need web hosting support.
a. Twenty four hours seven days a week Live support. If they have it... lt's worth it.
b. Forum. Do they have a forum? You will always find other forum members who may have a very similar problem.
c. Live chat. This must also be 24/7 so can ask questions early Sunday morning.
d. Tutorials-The more tutorials the better. Graphics or videos that will explain how to FTP or transfer a domain name. This is crucial when purchasing web hosting.
