How to Choose Web Hosting
Web hosting provides a database and foundation for you to build your website. Without a web hosting service it is impossible to build any content. Think of the domain name as the roots and the hosting provider as the soil. Whether you want to create a blog or a business website, choosing a web hosting provider is not difficult.
Decide what type of website you want to host. If you simply want to create a blog or a site to display your resume, then a free hosting service like Yahoo Geocities is recommended. Although the obvious pro of free web hosting is that there is no cost, the con is that the quality and number of available features pales in comparison to subsciption based web hosting . Go to the Free Webhosting website (See Resources) for a list of free web hosting services.
Make sure you have a domain name. The domain is the name of your website followed by .com, .biz, .net, .info, .org, .edu, or .gov. You may buy a domain name through a site such are Register, transfer an existing one over to the web host, or buy a domain name through the web hosting service. Most web hosting providers that cost money will include a free domain name with their subscription. This is your best option if you do not already own a domain name.
Read reviews and comments of web hosting companies. Most web hosting providers will charge a yearly rate of a few dollars to over ten dollars a month with each additional year at a discount. Six to seven dollars is the about the average rate which is not bad at all considering everything that is provided.
Consider the limits and features of the web hosting server. Do not buy any service that does not offer unlimited space and traffic because this is pretty much a standard service. Look at what kinds of specials and features are offered. Some web hosting serves offer a free domain for life, hosting unlimited domains, free SSL certificates, and marketing credits that can be used for Google Adwords or Yahoo.
Ask questions. If you have a specific question concerning a specific web hosting provider, contact them via live chat, phone or, email. Most web hosting customer service is excellent.
Tips: Do not judge a web hosting provider from one bad review or comment. All web hosting services experience problems.
