What To Prefer And What To Not

When choosing a web host you might prefer some things which might be useful for you at the same time you can be sure of that you have reached the maximum limits in choosing the best hosting service.

Advertising

If you are using a free web hosting service you should make sure that the service is not providing you with the ads for the sake of their own reason some free web hosting services will give you free package and when you open your site their ads will apear at the top of your site or at the bottom of your site so their are also some free web hosting services which are giving free web hosting without ads.

Ftp Access

Some free web hosting services doesnot have the facility of ftp access so it,s take long time to go to file manager and upload the content you want to see on your web page while in ftp you simply copy the content to your ftp web address for example ftp://atsomedomain.com and make available on the net.On the other hand some ftp,s of free hosting services also have the frontpage plugin and some online site builders also have the ftp support so you can do your work more carefully and more quickly.

Limitations and File size Limits

Some free hosting services have limited file size access for example geocities and other free hosting services so you can pick another free hosting service that is free from these limitations.

Bandwidth and Data Transfer

Bandwidth and data transfer is critical issue while choosing a web host for example if you are starting a new site 100 mb bandwidth per month is too low for your website i think i would recommend 1 to 3 gb of bandwidth for your website.

Reliability and Speed Issues

Not should that your host should be fast and it should also gaurantee it,s uptime look for a minimum of 99% uptime infact it should be 99.5% uptime speed the company must provide some sort of refund if it falls below that figure or you have to check the manual of that company if it is giving some sort of that facility to ensure that your web site is in safe hands.

Data Transfer

Data transfer is the amount of bytes your visitor are using when they are browsing your site if you are using 900 mb for your site you have to upgrade for your package because when the time progresses your site becomes well known to the people or more people come towards your site you have to increase your data transfer limitations.

Server

The thing you have to also look at when choosing a web hosting provider,s is the server they are hosting your site at some site,s might be using windows 2000 or some might also be using Linux,Unix etc i thing for your new comer who not knows the Linux or Unix platform i think windows platform is best for you.
