In very simple words when you want to sell something firs off all you need a shop where you will display your stock for selling.  Same like that when you buy a domain to create a website the very next step to host your domain or website.  Web hosting is like a place where your website to be accessible to your audience, readers or visitors on the Internet worldwide.     Web hosting is a big business and there are many companies providing web hosting services to all over the world.   There are different types of servers which we will discuss later in another post.   Most of the companies providing shared web hosting which is cheap for the website owners to host their website on World Wide Web server. 

How to select your Web Hosting?

There are multiple web hosting companies providing service as compared their cast, down time, speed, support and services.   When we are selecting our web hosting we can consider some of the things that can be matter to affect our website performance which may cost more than we think.   In my point of view some of the under mentioned point should be in your mind when you are selecting your web hosting company. 

1.    Down Time

Time is money as you all know when we have a website we don’t know visitors will visit our website and from where.  So web hosting company with 0 % of down time is very difficult to find but at least there are many web hosting companies have below 1% down time.  So you should search properly for that web hosting company you have decided to host your website.

2.    Status or Repute of the company

When you are in computing and technology field off course you can easily review the web hosting company to fulfill your satisfaction.  Reviews can be beneficial for you to feel other’s experience about a specific web hosting company.   You can check the feedback of the company’s website and customers comments that can help you to make an idea about their reputation in the market.

3.    Hall of Fame

Web hosting companies have tight competition to attract their customers.  Some of them rely on costs and some of them depend on their quality of services and other aspects.   In my point of view famous web hosting companies due to their quality of services and strong technical support are best for any website.   In future I will too write on well reputed web hosting companies that can emboss good impact on you website.

4.    Browsing speed

When we are writing the code for our website and selecting CMS to view its content online.  Speed of a website depends on that those factors.  But web hosting companies with good servers can overcome minor problems in you code.   So it is also recommend reviewing of web hosting company for their speed of servers for the uploading and downloading times.  There are many instances where you can also check for yourself how responsive the host is while browsing through a typical modern blog/CMS site.

5.    Services and Features

Most of web hosting companies providing basic services and features to run a success full website.  Many hosts are loaded with features you don't need. In other cases you may need something very curiously not available within all web hosting companies.  Almost web hosting companies have the standard features you expect from a modern web hosting company: PHP, Perl, MySQL, control panel and email.  Now web hosting companies are providing famous CMS which help users to extract their contents online.

6.    Support Service

This is most valuable thing I found that should be available to all web hosting companies.  Because you don’t know sometimes when you get stuck in order to follow technical aspects regarding domains or web hosting services.  In this regard you required technical support from the said web hosting company.  If a web hosting company has 24x7 support service, I recommend that web hosting company to use which is most effective in many cases.  There are many web hosting companies have live chat service and support ticket service to accommodate their customers any time. 

These are aspects which experienced in my online career for the web development.  It may be no sufficient for experts but I have write for the beginners and mid-career people to understand the basic effects for web hosting for a website.   Next I have plan for research about excellent web hosting companies.
