Web Hosting Services
Written on Tuesday, September 15th 2009 at 8:53 pm by alexIf you want to start your own website, there are quite a few things you have to consider before you do that. You have to choose a domain name, a website design, but you also have to decide where you're going to host your website, and who is going to host it for you. You can't just run your website from your home computer because home internet connections are not fast enough.
You should buy hosting from a respected and trusted company. Since your website will be hosted with them, if their servers go down, your website also goes down. Therefore you should find a company that guarantees good uptime. There are also a ton of tiny web hosting companies out there, and some of them can't be trusted, so look for reviews of each company before buying hosting from them.
There are different types of hosting. For example, shared hosting means you will share that server with other people (say, 50 other people). So if somebody else's website gets a lot of traffic, it could slow down your website. The advantage to this is the cost for shared hosting is low. You can also get dedicated hosting which will cost a lot more, but you get full control over the server, and nobody else can use it.
