Tips To Determine A Good Web Host
May 20, 2008 · Filed Under All Entries, General
Say you are just starting out as a photographer. You give your business card to a potential client, the client checks out your online portfolio and saw an error page instead. What impression would that give you? Bad! And it’s all because you got a cheap unreliable web host.
However, cheap does not automatically means unreliability. You just have to learn how to segregate the grain from the chaff. Make sure you have considered doing this simple test to determine if the service you’re getting is from a good web host:
- Try sending an email inquiry during weekends and take note of their response time. This will give you an idea on how long can they attend to any problem you might encounter.
- Visit the company’s website. Cheap web hosting usually hosts everyone and everything on the same server and this congestion results to slow load time. So if you think their site is loading slow, imagine how it will be with yours.
- Check the features they offer. Is there anything that a client might abuse that will jeopardize everyone who shares in the server?
Before you sign-up for a windows or linux web hosting, you might want to compare web hosts and read helpful articles that will enlighten you to the world of web hosting. Because finding a good web host is not just about the price.
