Business Hosting

Fri, 10 Feb 2006 23:36:40 +0000

For many small businesses, having a website is essential to growth. With the widespread use of the internet, business hosting for a website is a normal business expense. Websites can draw in new clientele, and a good company offering business hosting for your website can bring a lot of traffic and business for your company.

Business hosting for a website allows your site to have a place to live and grow. Your computer connects to the internet and is provided with an address, commonly referred to as an IP address. This IP address is how people find your computer to communicate with you. A business hosting company for your website allows you to take advantage of a DNS, or domain name system, instead of an IP address. This way other people can find your computer via a URL, or uniform resource locator. A URL is basically what most of us refer to as a web address.

Finding the perfect web host can be difficult. Many people spend months looking for a host that is perfect for them, only to be disappointed very frequently. I will give a list of criteria you must consider when picking a host. Rule #1 is, "If it looks too good to be true, then it most likely is". Keep that in mind and heed what I have to say and you will soon have a happy home on the web.

In this article, I will concentrate on finding the perfect shared hosting account. This is where several websites are hosted on a single server. Using a shared hosting account is ideal for smaller sites using dynamic pages or just about any reasonable size site with static html pages. When comparing hosts, there are three things you need to compare - I suggest making a spreadsheet if you plan to compare lots of hosts. The first is the amount of disk space you get. The second is bandwidth and the third is probably the most important - the cost.

Managed Hosting: The Death Knell of Colocation Services

What is Managed Hosting? This is a question I found myself asking recently when I took a look at a website I knew previously to only provide colocation services. At first I was a little bit upset, because I knew that this particular provider provided excellent colocation services and was a little bit annoyed at the fact that they'd apparently changed their company's services to some new fangled thing I'd never heard of: Managed Hosting.

However, after doing some reading I found that this new and mysterious service they offered drastically reduced the complication involved in the project I was intending on launching. Allow me to explain...
