Web Hosting Options

Here are some web hosting options to consider. There are advantages to each option.

There is free web hosting but you will need an easy to remember domain name which free hosts

usually don't offer and you want FTP uploading of your files which may be hard to find for

free. There are other ways to upload your files but FTP is easy and powerful.

These types of hosting, the free or the ones for a few dollars a month are called shared

hosting. This type of hosting is affordable but the drawback is other sites are sharing the

same computer in the web host's warehouse as yours. If any of the other sites have a coding

problem they can take down the computer along with your site until it gets fixed by the

hosting service, until then your closed down.

If you go with the purchase of a shared hosting plan make sure they have a money back period

especially if you sign a one year contract or longer. If your site is down a lot or it loads

too slow because too many sites are jammed on one computer or some other reason you can get

a refund and get out of the contract.

During the refund period or until you are confident they are good don't open any software

they send you, this may bind you to the contract if you break the software seal(s). Use some

other software until you feel comfortable with the service or the refund period expires.

You will also need to research bandwidth. When a visitor comes to your site, clicks or

downloads anything it takes bandwidth. If you go over the allotted bandwidth the web host

gives you, they may shut down the site until you can pay more or the next billing month

comes up or they may automatically bill you, depending on their policy. Bandwidth amount

given is usually massive or even unlimited depending on the package and web host but it is

something you must know about.

It is worth putting in a search for 'free web hosting' in your favorite search engine to see

what is available because the market is always changing. You will need to find out why it is

free, they may want to put some type of ad on your site but that may be okay for what you

are interested in doing depending on what the ad is. There may also be very limited

bandwidth or the ways to build your site only can be done with templates that may not fit

your project.

Another possibility is being your own host if you have access to a static and not dynamic IP

address with high speed internet and

a decent computer you can dedicate only to your site(s). Sometimes this is only available to

a commercial location but this depends on your available high speed internet carriers.

Dial up will probably be too slow for this, it really must be high speed for a fast loading

web page with traffic. Dial up may be okay to learn on and if the traffic to your site is

light or is a hobby for fun.

You can register your domain name address yourself at the registering banner above and point

it to your own server. For instructions how to set it up search 'host my own domain' there

are some good tutorials.

The benefit is if there is a problem with your site from the host end you fix it yourself

because your website is located on your computer at the static IP address in your office or

home and also you can upgrade your own hardware. You do not have to rely on the technical

department of a web host to fix any problem.

Web host companies can have good customer service or bad depending on who works there at any

given time. Hosts have been known to be good but employee or management changes may happen

and now they won't help you fix your site like you need it.

Another benefit of hosting yourself is you will learn highly sought after webmaster skills

and the hosting software to run it is free, running a search for 'free hosting software'

will bring up options. The drawbacks are you must know a lot, it will take extra time, must

bulletproof the site from hackers, and a static IP address usually costs more.

Another option is dedicated hosting which can be managed or non-managed. Dedicated hosting

means a hosting service gives you a computer just for your site(s) and nobody else's sites

will be on it. Managed means they will help you setup and deal with problems but this is the

most expensive of all the options.

Non-managed is less expensive but you must load and do all software manipulation and fix any

coding problems, hacker, script or other problems. If you get stuck on a problem they

usually have an hourly rate charge for a pro to help you. This is very similar to doing your

own hosting above with the benefit of learning a highly sought after skill but with the

hosting service dealing with all hardware problems, upgrading, and keeping up the network.
