1. What is hosting?
In a nutshell, a hosting stores your website and makes it available for the world to see. Without some sort of web hosting visitors have no way of getting to your site. There are many considerations when choosing a hosting plan. Here is a list of some things to keep in mind while choosing a hosting plan:
- Bandwidth:
- Each time someone visits your page, they download the page from the webserver. Bandwidth is a measure of how much data is downloaded from the webserver. If you have lots of hits on your webpage, or have a media intensive site (such as music or video) you will use a lot of bandwidth. How do you know how much bandwidth you will need? Generally if your website is mostly text with a few pictures one of our smaller bandwidth packages will work just fine for you. If you are operating a commercial website you should opt for one of our higher bandwidth packages. After all if you max out your bandwidth your site will become unavailable and you could lose countless sales.
- Storage space:
- Storage space is the amount of memory allocated to your account to store the files that make up your site. How much storage space you will need depends on the type of content your intend to put on your site. If your site will have mostly text and pictures then you can save money and get one of our hosting plans with less storage space. If, however you intend to host multimedia such as music, videos, or content such as flash animations you should get one of our higher end packages.
