You want to make your business online, for that purpose you will have to design and develop a web site for your business. You have created a web site, and then you will need a place where you can store your files.
One option for you is that your ISP (internet service provider) host your web site, most of the ISP providers provide some space as a part of a standard dialup internet access account. If you take this option with you then you will not need to pay any extra amount for hosting services. Some ISP’s cannot provide the bandwidth.
Hosting companies resemble ISPs in the sense that they also provide servers connected to the Internet. Good web hosting companies invest more money with great and faster servers that have more direct connection to the internet. A Web hosting service is also likely to offer other features that you can't get from a regular ISP, such as special e-commerce servers that provide additional security for online transactions.
Space
All the companies who are providing you web hosting also provide you different spaces on their server. You must have information about how much space you will be requiring for your web site to work. You can develop a large web site with more space on the server to increase your online business. Large space does not necessarily mean it’s a great hosting provider. Very often this is a sign that your website will be overcrowded with other websites in the server. As a result your website could experience poor performance and quality of service. In any cases, you will not necessarily use that large amount of spaces – hence attracted to the provider just because of disk space instead of quality of service.
Support
You must have to find a reliable web hosting company who provides highly available service to your web site hence your website will always be available for your customers. Once your website becomes unavailable to your customers, in most cases they will not come back to visit your website again. As you are aware, customers are the key to every successful business. The best way to reduce this kind of problem is to choose a reliable web hosting provider. Apart from cheap price, you need to ensure that the web hosting company also provides reliable support to customers.
In this case, certainly high availability is very important. Imagine that you are hosting website selling phone card or hotel deals, if your website is unavailable then customers will shy away to other websites. This means you are losing customers and sales for your business. Therefore it is very important to consider quality of service rather than only cheap price.
Many customers have wasted their business by signing up to a hosting provider just because of the price. This imposes high risk to your business by trying to save on few dollars to find out that your website, which essentially your business profile becomes unreliable.
