7 Things to know about Web
Hosting by Julian Johnson
1. How many sites can you host with a single account?
This is useful when you own more than 1 domain name. Depending on the service
provider, you can host more than 1 websites using the single account you have
with your service provider.
2. Storage Space
It is important to know how much space you are paying for. The movies, images
and text you place in your website takes up space. Movies and images takes up
more space than text. If you are going to have a website with lots of movies,
video clips, pictures and banners, having a larger storage space is advisable.
3. Bandwidth
Bandwidth is the amount of resources needed to process a request when someone
visits your website. The more popular your website is and the more people who
visits your website, you need a higher bandwidth.
4. Up-Time
The amount of time (in terms of percentage) you website is up and running is
known as Up-time. Despite technological advances, machines are still machines
and breakdowns are inevitable. The usual up-time commitment is 99.5% or higher.
Avoid any web hosting service providers that offer lesser than 99.5% or did not
state their up-time.
5. Mail Forwarding Accounts And Email Autoresponders
The ability to forward your email from your hosted website to somewhere will
help you greatly if you have multiple websites to manage. You can then forward
the emails from different website to your single email account. Otherwise, you
will have to open the emails at each website individually. Email Autoresponders
is a good feature to have your pre-crafted message sent to the people who
emailed you. Most autoresponders reply to the senders immediately and
automatically.
6. Visitor Statistics
This is an important feature that tells you how many visitors have visited your
website. You can use the feature to fine-tune your website accordingly. The more
details you get, the more you understand about visitor behaviours.
7. Technical Support
Finally, break fixes are always needed. Make sure you have someone to call or
email when need arises.
Here's a great place you can visit if you are interested to host your website.
