Some criterias of hosting selection
April 3rd, 2008 by Samuel BecksWhat are the things you should know when choosing a web hosting? Criterias for selection of different web hosting slightly different. We will be seen each of them separately.
Reliability and speed of access
This is extremely important. The site, which has no access to lose a lot of visitors. If someone reads your site on a search engine and he wants to get on it, but this will not be possible because of the inaccessibility of the server, it will simply go down the list in a search engine.
For a site need not only to the web-hosting was reliable and fast, it must be guaranteed and it works (the time when he works). Minimum willingness of 99%. In fact, even 99% is actually too low, should be 99.5% or higher.
The volume of traffic.
Do not believe commercial web hosting, advertising “unlimited traffic.” Host pays for the traffic, and if you drink a lot of it, they will not acquiesce nesti their expenses. Many sites with high bandwidth passed the difficult road in that direction, to give you an approximate idea of the requirements of typical traffic website: Most new sites that are not archives of the software, etc. use less than 1 GB of traffic per month. Your requirements will increase over time, when your site is becoming better known.
Technical Support
Whether it functions technical support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (often abbreviated 24 / 7), a year-round? You will be surprised how often something occurs. By the way, only because hosting advertises that it offers round-the-clock support does not mean that he did have such support. Check their e-mail at midnight on Saturday night, Sunday, etc. Check how long they will be responsible. In addition to expediting action to make sure their technology literacy.
SSL (secure connection), MySQL, CART
If you want to do any business through its web site, you can learn whether hosting these facilities. These sites typically involved in higher prices for software. You definitely need SSL, if you plan to collect credit card information on your site.
Dealers?
Not all hosting companies own or lease their own servers. Some are resellers another hosting company. The disadvantage of using reseller is that you are dealing with people who know little about the system. But it also depends on the primary and reseller hosting company. It is therefore wise not exclude all partners and there were a number of reliable and fast ones, which really deschevye and good quality. In fact, the number of resellers selling the same packages cheaper than their original hosting company. If you find that the company is a reseller, you need to explore both the real and reseller hosting company.
The myth of perfect commercial Host
Overall, I doubt that we have a “perfect” hosting company. Note that even if you are willing to pay a huge price hosting, it does not guarantee that your host will be perfect in all respects.
