Choosing A Hosting Company
Posted by: | Comments
Hosting Companies are like diets. Ask 10 people and you will get 10 different recommendations, leaving you back where you were…or even further confused.
The reason is simple. We are not all looking for the same services. So let’s figure out a few things that will move you in the right direction toward finding a company that will work for YOU.
As always, Google is your friend, so be sure to do your own research.
Here are a few pointers:
- There are way too many reliable “Brand Name” Companies to try an unproven newcomer to the market when you are a beginner yourself. So save your testing for a later date.
-
SO, WHAT QUESTIONS Should you ask? Here are a few suggestions to start with:
- What is their Initial Annual Fee per URL? What is the cost of Renewals?
- What type of Customer Service do they offer? Online Only…Live…What are their Hours?
- Can they Handle Your E-mail Needs? At what cost?
- Do they Provide Hosting and Backup? Is it the service you need?
- Do they have standard Plug-Ins Included? For WordPress, Joomla, Drupal or whatever software you plan to use.
- What type of Control Panel? Standard or C-Panel?
- Do they support PHP and MySQL Databases?
These questions will get you started, but be sure to make your own list of needs that you are concerned about. Write or call and ask your questions. If they don’t answer right away. Well, that tells you the answer to the 2nd question. Go to the next company on your list.
