WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A WEB HOSTING PROVIDER?
 |
Disk Space:
Disk space is the amount of storage space that you
need for all your files and databases. Disk
space is cheap these days so you can expect to get
Gigabytes of space instead of Megabytes.
|
 |
Allowed Bandwidth: This is the amount
of bandwidth that you can use. It is usually
specified per month. Every time someone views one of
your pages, they use your bandwidth. Typically, the
larger your file size and the more graphics you
have, the more bandwidth you use. Unless you have a
very high traffic site, you will never come close to
using your allotted bandwidth.
|
 |
Platform: Which Operating System does
the provider offer? If you are used to using
Microsoft and develop your pages with Microsoft
development tools, then you should make sure your
prospective hosting provider offers Microsoft
support. The most popular platforms are Linux or
Unix environments as they are considered more stable
and secure than Microsoft's IIS server.
|
 |
Email: Do you need a lot of email
addresses? Some providers allow you a large number of
addresses that are associated with your domain and
provide you with both pop and smtp servers to point your
MX record to. Others web hosting providers offer email
forwarding, which simply means that your website email
will be forwarded to a main account. |
 |
Available Applications:
What applications do you need to support your site? Are scripting languages supported? Do you have access to a database? |
