carefully considering the resources that you will need, the provider that you will partner with and the the platform that is right for your site will help you to better choose the web hosting service that is completely right for your site.
2. • There are many things to consider before buying a web hosting service. In
this slide presentation you will learn the top three things to consider
before signing up for a package
• First thing you should consider is the amount of resources that your
website will require. This is important because it will determine the web
hosting package that you will need.
1. Shared hosting gives your website the least amount of resources. And
with shared hosting your resources are not guaranteed, meaning that
you could suffer from performance issues when a site uses up all of the
resources on your shared server.
2. VPS hosting comes with a few more resources than shared hosting.
However, with VPS hosting your resources are guaranteed, meaning that
your resources will be there when you need them.
3. Dedicated hosting comes with more resources when compared to
shared and VPS hosting. It is the most expensive package, however,
having a server all to yourself is very beneficial.
3. Cloud Hosting is when you pay for only the resources that you use. It comes out to be
more expensive, however, the benefit is that you get just the right amount of resources
that you need. In other words, you never pay for more than you use and you always
have the resources that you need when you need them.
Second thing you will want to consider is the web hosting provider that you will
partner with. Below are the three most important criteria when considering partnering
with a web hosting provider.
1. Reputation of a host should be seriously considered because this will be a preview
of how your experience will be with them.
2. Customer and technical support is crucial to any web hosting plan because if and
when something becomes an issue you will want to make sure that the host is
there and available 24/7 to fix whatever you need.
3. Uptime is an important aspect to your hosting plan because it will determine the
total time that your network, hardware and software will be available.
Third, you will want to consider is the type of operating system that your website
will need, either Windows or Linux. If your website is running with CGI scripting,
Perl, Python or PHP then you will ultimately want to go with Linux. On the other
hand if your website is running on ASP or ASP.NET then Windows will be the plan
that you want to choose.
