Choosing the perfect web hosting company
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009 | Tips | No Comments
There are many companies out there who are providing hosting services for both the web as well as your email. There are many aspects that you’ll need to consider when deciding who to engage your web hosting with. Choosing the wrong or rather not so efficient service provider will effect your business overall, losing profits and interuption to the business cycle. We at Webthris Creative Studio have used many hosting companies, locally and also abroad. We now rent large amount of server space that are placed in the hubs of Cyberjaya, Malaysia. We have gone through alot of problems before when using other company’s web hosting, so we suggest that you consider the following points before deciding who to engage your website and email service to.
What is the hosting used for?
First of all, you’ll need to identify the reason you need the hosting space. Whether it’s for your personal use, or for a large business with huge repository space needed and so on. A small business may not require a large hosting plan. On the other hand, if you’re running a big business and in need of ecommerce features and so on, then you would need to consider bigger hosting spaces. Most company would have the comparison listed on their website for each plan types, you must study this thoroughly.
How much data transfer and disk space is offered?
This is a very important point, a disk space you can roughly know. For example a website with 10 or less pages with very few images would probably need a hosting space lesser than 100MB (Usually the minimum hosting space for most company). But the more important thing is the data transfer, if your website is getting alot of hits, and going to have alot of visitors, then you’ll need a hosting with alot of data transfer bandwidth. Without sufficient bandwidth, your website will be offline with a “Bandwidth Exceeded” error.
what are the Web hosting cost and setup fees?
We have placed the cost as 3rd under the priority list, most companies can afford a web hosting company, but they cannot afford the website they are hosting to be down. Once you determine a few hosting companies, you can then decide who is giving the best offer in terms of price. Also consider hidden setup fees. Most companies dont include a setup fees, but there are a few who do, so calculate all fees and decided whether it’s within your budget.
Is a customer support available?
Customer support is a vital service that you’ll need for your hosting. You wouldn’t know when the website or email might be down (most probably during their server maintenance sessions). A good hosting company always comes with a 24 hour support and a hotline number that is always accessable. Some company may also have a online chat feature (which is fast and you dont need to pay for expensive phone calls).
Is a Control Panel Available?
Webthris Creative Studio uses the cpanel as our hosting control panel, we have to pay a yearly license to provide this service to our clients. Cpanel is one of the leading control panel provider for hosting and has many easy to navigate features included. A control panel allows you to view the hit rates (website statistics on visitor), available space and bandwidth, other features such as blog, ecommerce portal and so on.
Are email accounts available?
Another aspect of the web hosting is the email support. Most hosting companies nowdays allows users to create as many email accounts as they want (depending on the hosting size that they purchased). POP and SMTP emails can also be configured under outlook express or accessed through a webmail link. Webthris Creative Studio offers these features.
There are few of the points that you may want to consider, as a webmaster you may also want to look for articles on hosting on the internet. Get your mind cleared of all issues before engaging to a company for your web hosting.
We are always available to answer you regarding web and email hosting, so do write to us at webmaster@webthris.com
