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. |
