Tips for a Better Hosting Experience

Posted by: admin  :  Category: WebHosting

There are followings things that one should keep in mind for experiencing a better web hosting experience. However the biggest tip is that one should not hurry and should take his/her own time for considering their offer and then selecting the best out of them.

The biggest tip is that one should clearly ascertain what are his/her needs and then should the following things:

1. Price: One should try to maximize his/her budget as best service can not be availed at just one dollar per month.

2. Scripting: One should ascertain in advance what scripting technology needs to be supported?

3. Database: One should check what database one’s web site requires?

4. Disk space: One should also ascertain the amount of disk space required.

5. Bandwidth: last but not the least user should ascertain the amount of data transfer.

Now, coming to point one should first find out 3-4 hosts that are meeting his/her requirement. Thereafter one should write the preferences in chronological orders.

We’re now going to look at each one of them and see how well they compare.

Price Freeze Guarantee

The user with a price freeze guarantee can lead his price fix and thus can control the web hosting prices. However the prices even don’t go down with this. It is a fact that the prices of web-hosting services have gone down rapidly, thus giving an additional incentive for the web hosts to advertise this guarantee.

Now there are several questions that emerge in the mind of user like what one should find out from the web host, if the web host lowers or increases the prices on one’s package, will they lower/increase one’s price as well? Does it still hold if user pre-paid for the whole year? For all these and other questions one should email and get their response and in addition should check the response time taken by them.

Things in addition one should know

Since how long is the business in existence? One should try to find out since how long one is in business. It is a fact that web hosting companies that have been in business for long will have the date prominently displayed on their website and as against this new companies don’t disclose such informations.

Why is this important?

It is very important to know about the company because no one would be happy finding that his/her host is out of business at any time as it is a general rule that one who is longer in the web hosting company is going to stay longer.

Now, an important thing that comes in one mind is that and any web host can go belly up anytime but if they’ve been in the web hosting business for longer period let say more than 3 years, one can assume that they are making some money, because it is a general thinking that most hosts are small businesses and they cant afford to work unprofitably for a longer period as they don’t have much capital.

Is taking of Web Host Feedback necessary?

Now the question emerges is taking of feedback necessary and answer is yes! One should check the web hosting message boards. As it is the place where there is plenty of information and feedback on most hosts.

In case these boards are not available then one can simply ask for registration which is usually free and so many people can read the web hosting boards and thus one can get all answers very quickly.

As soon as one finds his/her host’s feedback, one should check the date of the feedback.

In addition to above one should check the severity of the complaints. One should check what the types of problems are and then should react accordingly.

Thus one should look out for the feedback on one’s web hosts. One must make sure that he/she should get some good points in it. After that it is possibility that the particular host selected is the right one.

Avoid Using Free Hosting! It May Actually Cost You More Money

Fantastic, you’re now an online business owner.  You have just found your niche, your product, or your design and you now need to decide what your next step will be in building your website in order to promote it.  You’ve even taken the necessary precautions by planning ahead.  You’ve determined your target audience, their interests, and how and where to find them.  And, in the process of all this, you’ve instilled a valuable, trusting relationship between them and you.  They have decided doing business with you is just plain smart.  You’ve also defined your main goals and have chosen the type of website that would best promote your product (dedicated sales page, single optin page, membership site, informational or brochure sites, journal website or blogs, portal sites – another article all together).  And on top of all of that, you’ve picked out your domain name.  Great, it sounds like you’re on your way to building a great business!  One last thing needs to happen though.  You need to choose a hosting company to set up your site and host it.  The question really comes down to this, should I use a free hosting company or a paid one?  My answer may surprise you.  Avoid using free hosting at all costs.  Below, I will give you some reasons as to why.

First of all, determine what tools and services the hosting company supports and which ones it does not.  A few of the best I’ve come across are www.SuperHosting.com,      www.Domains.com, and my favorite, www.CoolNetHosting.com, formerly known as WebHotMonkey.com.  You get a lot more bang for your buck, as they say, with one of these compared to some others out there.  Whichever you choose, make sure the measurement tools you are looking for are included in your package deal.  Offered in their standard hosting packages, these tools include great web analytics technology.  If you’re not sure what this consists of then look online for internet sites that explain it.  There are even courses on this kind of stuff.  Your hosting company should be able to track and analyze conversions and traffic for your site as well.  The key is to get your software set up early then waiting to do it later.  Remember, you are paying for this, so you should get what you think will promote your product the best.

Secondly, your hosting company needs to have a highly effective means of controlling spammers.  This should be top priority due to the internet environment we live in today.  However, with free hosting, spammers are not always treated as top priority.  Since you’ll be sending and receiving emails via your host’s servers, make sure they have the necessary safeguards in place to deter spammers from using them to quick-start their own campaigns.  The good thing is that Internet Service Providers, or the Internet Police as I call them, combat these spammers by blocklisting (also referred to as blacklisting) and/or penalizing these hosting companies that fail to use these safeguards.  Unfortunately, some of the freebie hosting companies slide under the radar.  So if you’re not a spammer, why worry?  Again, unfortunately, most, if not all emails that originate from your hosting company’s server, this may include yours too, are blocked (spammer or not) and you never know it.  To find out go to www.spamhaus.org.  Here you can identify which hosting company you may want to stay away from by looking up their IP address.

Lastly, take a careful look at the reliability of the hosting company you’re considering.  All experience cyberspace glitches, but by doing a little bit of research on your part, you can determine which companies are less likely to experience these glitches on their customer’s sites.  These glitches may affect it by slowing or even worse, shutting down, your site.  These glitches can occur often and may even last for hours or even days.  You may want to google hosting companies that experience these types of things.  Some of these search engine sites post past and present data on hosts reliability records.  These are a great source of information that may help you decide on a host company.

As you can see, deciding on a hosting company can cause some heartaches.  By weighing the pros and cons of the hosting company you’re considering, you can eliminate these heartaches.  To recap, make sure your hosting company offers the measurement tools to operate your site the best.  They must be tough on spammers by not allowing them to use your host’s server, and, last but not least, research the hosting company using search engines to see which ones are less likely to have cyberspace glitches.  In addition to these things, don’t forget to avoid the free hosting companies.  You may regret it if you do.  You will definitely have a harder time finding people who are willing to link to your site and, get this, the host will place banner ads on your page that more likely will turn away visitors.  Unhappy Visitors equals No Sales!
