How to choose Affordable Web Hosting!

Guide to Affordable Web Hosting

‘A penny saved is a penny earned’, small office/home office business owners (SOHO) perhaps will not disagree with the above saying. Rather they will adhere to this adage at every step of their business operation. When it comes to spending big money on a quality web hosting service provider, small business owners with limited spending potential thus tend to look for affordable solutions.

But if you can keep yourself focused and know what you exactly require, the task of finding a web hosting company offering quality services at reasonable cost can become much easier.

Start with defining your requirements and draw up a shortlist of companies that are offering those services. Spend some time in researching on the users’ feedback on these companies. Ask for clarification if you have any queries.

Some guiding factors that may help you define your requirements

• The purpose of your website like corporate identity, web presence, e-commerce, etc.
• CGI or database requirement.
• Operating system you require, Widows, Linux, etc.
• Disk space or bandwidth required.
• Any streaming media requirements.
• Static or a dynamic website.
• Type of hosting – dedicated or private?

Squeeze Information and Check for Reviews

Once you are sure of your requirements and have filtered the list of possible hosting companies for your website, try to dig out necessary information and analyze reviews on these companies. It will be the good idea now the issue is, How to do that?

1. Read the services documents and disclaimer, privacy policy and other declaration documents carefully to know service uptime, downtime, backup, security, etc. This would help you to understand clearly what you are going to get.

2. Read testimonials and users’ feed back on the service provided by the company. It may happen that the testimonials on the website are forged so always countercheck by emailing to the webmasters of the client companies.

3. Compare Prices: Compare rates features offered and rates quoted by competitive web hosting companies.

A word of Caution:

Be wary of web hosting directories and mailing lists, many are owned and operated by web hosts. Do not be seduced by hosts offering cheap services or extra services than you need. Most of them skimp on security and support.

Rearrange Your List:

Based on your findings you can rearrange you list. The parameter this time would be quality, flexibility and pricing.

Quality:

Find out which company offers maximum uptime and have received maximum number of recommendations from the users (genuine testimonials with valid contact email addresses, not cooked up ones). Make sure the hosting company offers 24/7/365 technical support by phone, email and chat.

Flexibility:

Compare which hosts offer specific services that you need, with scalability for future changes. Make sure that the company offers you the flexibility to add domains to a core plan and resell services. Engaging in a long term contract in the first go can be binding, hence always opt for short term association.

Pricing :

No one knows your budget better than you. Based on the offerings compare prices and choose a few that fit well within your budget.

Querying:

Before settling for one, talk to 4-5 short listed companies. Ask questions (both mundane and probing) to check the quality, speed and efficacy of their response. Gauge their commitment towards customers and technical accuracy. Satisfy yourself before you expect satisfactory services from your web hosting services. A decision in haste can be a pitfall in realizing your business goals.

Website should be hosted with reliable, secure and affordable web hosting server.
