Hosting Quest

I had a chat last night with a friend who is interested in putting up a niche website. As with other people who inquired to me before who have no background on the technicalities of running one, I started of by discussing the purpose of a domain name and a web host and how much they usually costs.

After that, I always get the same reaction from those inquiring… that it’s pricey. Pricey it really is if you fail to compare pricing and research customer reviews of the different hosting providers available in the web. Do not be readily enticed with plans offering approximately $3 a month without finding out what people are saying about the company because in the end, you’ll lose more money from a cheap but poor service.

Hosting systems could either be a Windows or a Linux. I’m thinking if this guys have used cisco machines or if that’s even possible.
