Making Finding Reliable & Affordable Web Hosting Easier.
By Francisco Segura
To enable a person or company to host a website or other web based product, a web hosting company is required. Simply put, and for the majority of people and companies, this means allowing their website to be seen by others around the world; some of these services are actually free. There are a great many services available; you even have free hosting where you won't have to spend a single dime, this is ideal for absolute beginners. Many restrictions exist with free web hosting but that is to be expected and for some it is an ideal situation but for only a few dollars per month, a paid web hosting service is far superior. Initially, the majority of users decide on paying for a shared server with their hosting company. Once you are comfortable with the service level then it might be worth upgrading to a dedicated server. Websites require a domain name (not necessarily supplied by the web hosting company)otherwise no-one will be able to find you; once this has been done your domain will be allocated a specific amount of space for you to store your website, etc. Another advantage of web hosting and your own domain name is that email addresses will include your own domain name and not that of those free providers such as Google, Yahoo and MSN to name a few of the thousands of providers whose services can be used. It always looks like the user is more serious about their internet presence if they have their own email and domain name, it increases credibility. If you have a busy site with lots of visitors, downloads or video etc. then you need to have a hosting package with sufficient bandwidth; this is the amount of data that can be transmitted. Of course this won't matter if you only have a basic website but as soon as you start adding large images, audio tracks, video footage and other big files, your bandwidth will be used up very quickly. You may have your own web host in your PC, but that can be too risky; the best option is to settle for paid web hosting, even if you're new to the internet.
