Web Hosting with Extraordinary Package

Choosing a hosting company for your online business or home business is as important as choosing the name of the business. A hosting provider supplies the means to allow you to share your website over the internet. It provides the hardware, softare and the connection to the internet. It also "hosts" and shares your website on the internet.

In shared hosting, the provider is generally responsible for management of servers, installation of server software, security updates and other aspects of the service. The majority of servers are based on the Linux operating system, but some providers offer Microsoft Windows-based or FreeBSD-based solutions.

What are the things to consider in choosing your hosting company? Is the price the sole basis in your decision to choose a hosting company? Are there still cheap web hosting service and yet provides quality service? I have done a research on different hosting services in the net. and I have outlined here what are the things to consider in choosing a hosting company. Here it goes:

Money Back Guarantee. The hosting company should care deeply about satisfaction for every customer. This policy must be clearly stated in the hosting plan as to when the customer can request a full refund in case the customer is not satisfied with the promise service.

Storage Space. This is the amount of space your hosting account can hold all your files (graphics, audio, video). This is usually measured in terms of gigabytes. Depending on the kind of web site you have, you must also consider this. The higher the storage space the better. You will have less trouble later on if your site demands a higher storage capacity.

Bandwidth or data transfer. This refers to the amount of data that can be accessed to your site or the amount of traffic that is allowed to occur between your web site and the rest of the web.
Again, the higher the bandwidth the better.

Customer Service. Find out how administrator can be contacted. Is there an online 24/7 technical support? How can they be reached? These are important considerations especially if you have just started to build your online business.

Uptime Guarantee. Another important consideration. You don't want your site later on to miss prospective clients or visitors because your site cannot be displayed simply because your server is down. You can email the hosting company and ask their uptime guarantee and if possible you can contact their existing clients and investigate.

In summary, choosing the best hosting company can become a rigid process especially if you are looking for value of your money. However, it is not a guarantee neither that paying a substantial amount for your hosting needs can give the perfect hosting service. There are also hosting companies that offer low monthly rates and yet their service is tantamount to expensive hosting services.
