Web hosting - Tips
Where to host a Web site ? What are the main characteristics of the hosting services that have to evaluate before hiring a company to host my site. I separated seven tips for choosing where to host your site: Host national service and support, supported technologies, e-mail accounts, disk space and bandwidth, cost of accommodation and service stability.
1. Host nationalHosting the site in Brazil or abroad. Outside, the prices are very attractive and features of hosting are losing sight, however the choice for a host national is still the best option because the response time of national servers are faster than the foreigners.2. Service and SupportA good support is essential for good project management online.Check the forms of media, limitations and look at forums, blogs and social networks, information about the support history of this company.3. Supported TechnologiesIf your site is to use specific technologies is good to be aware.Hosts typically offer a package of technologies supported, such as ASP, ASP.NET and PHP, database MySQL and ACCESS, and others. So check that will be used on your website and compare with the available resources of the hosting company you choose.4. E-mail accountsHow many emails you will need? Usually hosting companies offer plans with a few basic e-mail accounts and then increasing gradually in the higher planes.5. Disk space and bandwidthThat is a refuse problem that has been in the past, but today is much more quiet. Disk space is the amount of space will be reserved for you to use the server's hard drive and transfer is the amount of data to be transferred when someone accesses your site or you send files to the server. The best hosting companies are using the term "unlimited" for these two features.6. Price of accommodationThe option at the lowest price is not always the best solution.Evaluate quality and price or price and general characteristics.Only then can we choose the best price.7. Stability of serviceThis is an important feature. It is not enough to have many qualities that the site lives falling. Always keep the site available is a very desirable feature in any hosting company
