Great Web Hosting

Tweet

Web hosting is an essential part of having an online presence.... and having a good reliable company to deal with could make all the difference!

To host your website online is relatively cheap, and there are many option... which we will go through in a second.  A common mistake when looking for web hosting is choosing the cheapest option... which may not necessarily be the most reliable option and could cost you more in the long run in lost revenue.  What is important is to have a reliable service and a responsive support and technical support should you need any help.  Cheaper services may not have the same level of support.

The main hosting option are as follows

• Shared Hosting
• Reseller Account
• VPS Hosting
• Dedicated Server

Some hosting companies will have more than one plan available  in each of the above listed hosting options, giving you even more freedom to streamline your businesses needs and requirements!

Shared Hosting

Shared hosting is for when starting out.  Some plans allow only one domain while other plans in this same category allow unlimited hosted domain's.  So it is essential to check out a few hosting companies to see what suites your needs and budget.  The great thing is that most hosting companies will always allow you to upgrade (and even down grade) your package as your needs or business dictates.  I have shared accounts with up to 25 websites.

Resellers Plan

With the resellers plan you get everything as above plus the ability to provide a hosting service under your own name brand for clients.  Alternatively you may just need a load of web hosting and ability to set up many different hosting accounts or category.  Reseller plans still use shared hosting where you share resources with other users.

VPS Hosting

VPS Hosting stands for Virtual Private Server which as the name implies allows you to run your own virtual server without the expense of a dedicated server.  You would get guaranteed resources that would not be available on a shared service.  VPS accounts are usually used by medium to large businesses, marketeers and web masters who have high traffic sites. (A nice problem to have)

Dedicated Server

Dedicated servers provide you with the ultimate in web hosting, giving you max control, reliability and stability with the resources  been 100% yours.  Having a dedicated server will provide your site with a higher level of security, speed and uptime.
