If you are planning to buy a web host for your upcoming
website then you must consider these below discussed very crucial factors that
are generally ignored by the people. Before buying the web host, the purpose of
buying the web host must be clear i.e. whether to host a business website or just
a personal blog. There are many things to consider before buying such as for
business site, the web host must be capable enough to handle the clients efficiently
(sometimes breaks down due to high traffic).
I remember, one of my friend bought wordpress hosting from a leading
Indian registrar just because he wanted to learn the wordpress. But for that
learning pupose, he could install that wordpress on his own system with the
help of XAMPP or WAMP servers which are available freely. But due to lack of knowledge,
he wasted his some valuable bucks. So,
the purpose should be clear before buying the hosting and chose the right one
accordingly.
If you want to create
a site for your personal use or some very limited target audience then you
surely don’t need to spend much of your money and efforts on a premium wed
host. You can easily free host your site or there are many plateforms such as
blogspot, tumblr and many more which provides free hosting with their
subdomains and provides very easy user friendly interface.
But if you want to attract a large size of audience or you
want to run your online business then you must go for paid hosting services. You
can also use wordpress as wordpress sites are quite SEO friendly. You can also
setup your site with the other CMS giants, Drupal and Joomla. But how to choose
which is the best? Well, I’ll tell you that in my next post.
Before choosing the web host, the one thing of the utmost
importance that must be considered is the availability of cPanel, ispCP or
ISPConfig. If you are having quite good knowledge of creating wesites then it
is okay other wise these will be needed to let you access the crucial files and
your website’s pages in very user friendly way.
Now the other very important question arises, what amount of
space should be bought in order to run the site smoothly? Again, the answer is
the purpose of the site. If the site some basic one i.e using only static
contents then 5GB is more than enough. But if you are running an enterprise
website then you must go for the unlimited space.
Now your website can be developed with perfection with very
less or no space for inconsistencies. Now one thing that I suggest for Enterprise
or business websites you can also get the fully customized email link for
yourself such as admin@yoursite.com
instead of admin@gmail.com or any other. This generally
looks quite professional and leaves the positive impact and also shows the well
maintained structure of your website.
