Choosing Your Own Web Hosting

By Gene Fink


Even kids know how to build websites. If you don't mind including your web host's company name in your domain name, you might even be able to get some web server space without paying any money out of pocket. Take a moment to ponder this. Companyname.theirchosenname.com is a pretty common URL these days isn't it? You will want to buy your own hosting if you do not want to be stuck with that kind of URL and are serious about the web property that you are developing. You can open a lot of doors for your project when you choose to buy hosting. No two hosting companies are alike! Choosing your hosting is a decision that needs to be taken seriously. Keep reading for tips to make choosing a host an easier process.

Maybe you should try choosing a hosting package. When you buy hosting for your web page you also have to buy a domain name for it as well. It isn't hard to find a service that will give you hosting as well as domain name services. GoDaddy is just one company that provides you with "all in one" access to things like hosting, domain name registration, site building, etc. When you use a single company for your whole project you can cut down on your stress level by quite a lot! No matter what problems arise, you'll only have to look to one company to solve them. If you run into a problem with your website, using one company for all of your services prevents you from having to ask lots of different people for help.

Look at all of your options for customer service. Make sure that your potential hosting provider has live customer service reps that you can speak with. Call the number provided by the company and see what the customers service agents are like. If the customer service agents are good they will be able to help you solve your problem, no matter what kind of problem you ask them about. Choose a company with good service, not one that simply transfers you all over the place until you give up and solve the problem on your own. It is possible that an agent has a bad day so call back a couple of times to make sure that this was not the case on your first attempt if that call went badly. Live chat is also an option that many companies offer. If talking on the phone is not something you enjoy doing, look for hosting companies that offer this live chatting as a customer service option. Do not trust a company that does not use live agents in some form for their customer service department.

Try out the companies used by the site developers that you admire. It is easy to fake a good review on a website so if you want to get information that you can trust, ask your site developer friends which hosting company they like best. It's common to get help from the experts when you are new to the field. Some site builders are even generous enough to offer to host your project for you while you investigate other hosting avenues. There are many site builders who earn money by selling server space on their accounts for small fees. If you want to explore this option find a site owner you already admire and trust and buy space from them.

You have many different ways of deciding whether or not to do business with a specific web hosting company. All it takes is a small amount of research and you'll have plenty of options available to you. Subject each company on your "potential hosting" list to strict scrutiny. Being too shrewd is not even a remote possibility!
