Review: Website Hosting
Friday, den 17. April 2009pSo, you have a great idea and think that it is right time to start a website or blog!/p
pWow nothing can be better than that. Unless, it requires huge investment, it is always a good time to start. You never know, somebody else may also be evaluating a similar project. And, in my short experience, I have met many people who simply watched their ideas growing in some other place./p
pWhenever someone starts thinking about starting an online venture, consciously or unconsciously, the first thing that comes to their mind is selecting a good domain name. Undoubtedly, this is a very crucial step. The name will stay with you as long as the business exists. And when someone is ready with a domain name, they go out to find cheap hosting plans. Especially, if it is the first online venture, people make such mistakes./p
pDoes it matter to have a great site if it remains down for most of the time? Will it do any good to you? Do they have server in the country where you are targeting your website! And more importantly, is your website hosted in that specific country? Is this company secured to host your business? Are you sure that they are not hosting your website in bad neighborhood!/p
pstrongHow do you find this out?/strong/p
pRead the offer carefully: For example, here is a a href=”http://www.canadianwebhosting.com/”Canadian Web Hosting Company/a that hosts websites for Canada. It is a BBB Certified company and their identity is assured by a href=”http://www.instantssl.com/”COMODO/a./p
pRead User Reviews about the website: This is the best solution. Just do a Google search with the company name to read reviews about the company in different forums. This should give you some real idea about the company./p
pDo they have what you need: for example, check out if they have PHP 5.0 if you need it or updated cPanel support etc./p
pAnd always remember that there is nothing like cheap hosting. If you want to go cheap, you may need to compromise with quality and availability./p
