The Web Hosting Decision: How To Choose A Web Host

By: Darrel Hawes

If it is time for you to begin your own website, a decision that must be made early on is where your website will be hosted. This refers to where on the internet your website will reside. Just like a family or individual has a place to call home, a website needs a "home" too.

Websites reside on web servers, which are computers attached to the internet which keep website pages and serve them up when people want to view them. A computer which stores websites is called a web host.

One choice you will need to make is if you will use a paid web host or a free one.

Using of the free services sounds like a good idea, because not only is the price right, many of them feature easy-to-use web creation tools. Though there are good reasons to use them, you should not do so for your primary sites. Besides showing ads, some of the services are known for deleting your sites for no apparent reason, and there is always the risk of the service shutting down. In either case, you lose the hard work put into building the site.

If you hire a web designer, they may provide web space to you in a package, or you might purchase a hosting plan on your own. You should think about the following when selecting a web host:

Price: what is it going to cost you to host the site, not only in base service fees but also for any additional services you may require?

Reliable service: what sort of guarantees are available? You can make an attempt at gauging reliability by asking others who use or have used the web host. Cost is not as relevant if you can't count on the site being up most of the time.

Cpanel: you should not consider any web host that does not offer cpanel for configuration.
