How to Find a Hosting Company
There are thousands of web hosting companies on the Internet so
how do you choose the right one for your site? Everyone who uses the Internet has an ISP (Internet Service provider) who provides the connection to the Internet. Your ISP will
probably provide you with free web space so what is wrong with
using this? It all depends on your web site, if it is a
basic web site and you are not expecting a lot of traffic then
free web space is OK. The problem arises when you want a
little bit more.
Free Web Space
Almost all free web space providers only give you a limited
service, (what do you expect, its free!).
- They can not guarantee up time, so your web site might
be off the air for long periods of time,
- They have limited band width so if you get a lot of
visitors some may not be able to connect to your site, even
worst if you exceed your bandwidth limit your web site may
be shut down altogether.
- You can not use your own domain name so you have to use
a redirection service which does not help your search engine
ranking.
- They do not support server side scripts. (You can not
use cgi or FrontPage extensions)
- Support is only via email and probably takes a few days
to get a reply.
- If you are thinking about building an online store,
you’ll need a secure server to enable secure online credit
card processing. Most free hosts don’t support secure web
servers.
So if you are serious about your web site then it is worth
paying $60 - $100 per year for professional web hosting
service.
