Choosing Your Web Hosting

The fact that an estimated 40,000 new blogs are being
started daily should be of great interest .....
General rule of thumb is not to sign up for
yearly web hosting plans. Instead, get monthly plan where you
can unsubscribe from on the second month when you are not
happy with the service. That is, if you ended up with an
unreliable web hosting company in the first place.
Here is a simple guide that can be easily applied to typical
web sites:
--Web Space--
Expect a small website to take up 10 and 100 MB. Considering
that you may want to expand your website in the near future,
it is advisable to get a web hosting plan with ample web
space.
Make sure that you know your needs before you start looking
for your web host. Not every web hosting plan can be upgraded
or customized. More than often, webmasters do not get the
features they need and are not able to customize their web
hosting features.
--Monthly Traffic--
Data transfer per month are typically
referred to as bandwidth. It is the amount of data transfer
that occurs between your website and visitors. A small or
medium web site will consume between 1 and 5GB of data
transfer per month. Larger, commercial or popular websites
often consume more than 5GB of monthly data transfer and
sometimes, exceeding 100GB of monthly data transfer.
Before you decide on a web hosting plan, be sure to check
this:
- What is the monthly data transfer/ bandwidth allowed'
- Will you be charged if your website exceeds its limit'
- Are you able to upgrade/add on your bandwidth'
--Connection Speed--
Visitors to your web site will often connect via 56K modems or
ADSL modems but your web host provider should have a much
faster connection. Your website should have high web site
connections that are approximately 1000 high speed (56
Kilobytes per second) modems combined- T3 fiber optic
connections.
In the early days of the Internet, T1- connections was
considered a fast connection. The fastest connections
available are T3 connections that are used by Internet Service
Providers and major corps.
