Finding The Right Web Hosting For Your Project

By Adam Schwartz


When you are new to web development or are building your very first website, choosing a reliable hosting provider feels like something that is best left to the experts. The fact is that finding a reliable hosting provider does not have to be complicated at all. There are lots of ways to help yourself narrow down the choices that are available to you and find the best company for your project. Just do your research and before too long you could have your site up and operational! Here are some tips to help you get started.

Choosing a package deal can make a lot of sense. Most hosting plans require you to have your own domain name. Some host companies will sell you domain names alongside your hosting. GoDaddy is just one company that provides you with "all in one" access to things like hosting, domain name registration, site building, etc. Getting everything through a single company can save you a lot of headaches. You'll be able to get help with whatever you need. 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. Are you building one website or many sites that will be networked together? There are a lot of easily affordable options out there for people who only want to build a single simple site. If your goal is a larger network of individual websites, you'll want to find hosting that can accommodate more than one domain name per account.

If you are uncomfortable with doing your own FTP, you should choose a company that will allow you to use their web based services. If, on the other hand, you require 100% control over your files and transfers, you will want to choose a hosting package that allows you to use outside software and applications for your FTP needs.

Do you have a budget that you would like to stick to? If you cannot afford to spend much, you might be better off with a host that gives you cheap (or free) server space in exchange for putting ads on your site. If you don't have to worry about your budget, you might want to choose hosting that is more extensive and has more options. You may also be able to figure out a hosting deal with someone who is willing to let you have space on their server accounts. Planning your budget now, before you begin your hosting search, will speed up the process considerably because it will cut down your prospects by at least fifty percent.

If you are new to web development, choose hosting that offers you programs like Fantastico-a one click installer for a variety of content management systems, guest books, etc. Sometimes the more services you need, the more money you need to pay.

Take your time and learn everything you can about each of the hosting companies that you are thinking of hiring for your web development project. There is no such thing as rushing this decision because it is important that you are confident that you made the right choice.
