Web Hosting that rocks!

Some people take the issue of web hosting inseriously and don't think how critical it is not just for them but for their customers, site visitors and clients. Imagine! you have a site running on some web hosting service and you didn't take care of the bandwidth issue and after like 15 days your visitors start getting the "bandwidth exceeded" error. You aren't supposed to take a check your website 24/7, or are you? You might be on some holidays and your site visitors are getting such a bad image of yours. Don't compromise your visitors just because of a cheap and unreliable hosting service. Here are some tips to ensure you're going for a web hosting that really rocks and fit your needs.

1. Bandwidth Factor

Being in the market for over 5 years, I know how banners telling you "web hosting for 1$" tempt us. They don't lie believe me, they give it for such a low price. But, most of the time what you get is not what you need. Do not under-estimate one of the most crucial factors of your web hosting needs i.e. bandwidth factor. See for yourself, what you're getting from the hosting service you're going for. Is the bandwidth enough for your website or you need some more? Instead of facing a bandwidth problem later on that can have a bad effect on your audience, why not get a good bandwidth package at the beginning?

2. Space Issue

"I don't need much space man! even 5 MB is ok for me" said a friend of mine who was planning to launch a poetry website. This website was supposed to get contributions from visitors too. I agree 5 MB might be ok for her in the beginning but what about future? Think long term when you're selecting a web hosting service. You can get cheap web hosting for lesser webspace but sometimes you don't know you need more webspace in future and ultimately you pay the same to upgrade your hosting account, which you had to pay for a good package. See for yourself, how much space could be your requirement in future. Once again, think long-term while selecting web space package for your web hosting.

3. Sub-Domains

One of the most important enhancement towards Search Engine Optimization (SEO) of your website is sub-domains. Sometimes when you buy a hosting package, you again think you don't need much sub-domains and all of a sudden you get a recommendation to add many sub-domains to your website and you're blank because you have a package that provides you limited and very few sub-domains. Why not keep this in mind while choosing a package? Always go for a hosting package that provides enough or unlimited sub-domains for your needs.

4. Phone Support

Does your web-hosting service provide your phone support? One of the reliability indicators of a web-hosting service is their phone support. These days, people start hosting services just like any other thing but you come to know about this later on that the service you chose was unreliable. Better check if they have phone support or not.

5. Security First

Don't forget the security factor while buying some hosting package. Do check if they have a secure page where they are accepting payments. Giving away your credit card information on a web page which is not secure can be dangerous in a way that it makes your credit card information hackable and hence you can face problems. Better go for hosting services that provide you secure page for accepting payments (i.e. https page; SSL page).

6. Go for it

Once you are sure you have gone through with all major factors and indicators that are critical to your hosting needs, go for the hosting service that fits this criteria. Instead of just thinking, planning and delaying; you should be proactive to start your next online venture. Web hosting companies like CresHost.com are working at their best to make sure you succeed on internet by using high quality & reliable web hosting services.

Best of luck with your online business!
