Unsatisfied with free web hosting services provided by Geocities,
Angelfire, and Fortune City? Easily forgotten long domain name full of
dashes and slashes which will fail the Radio Test, Pop-ups, banners making
your life miserable! You start looking for a real professional hosting
service for your beloved website. You start searching over the Net.
Suddenly the possibilities are immense! $20 a month and 20MB space.
Fantastic, isn.t it?
Is it?? Read on. Way back, when I was a real novice, when I was amongst
that typical .The Internet is so wonderful. optimist, I signed up with a
paid web hosting service provider. I thought I found the perfect solution.
I was provided a chunk of webspace, a web address and content for my site.
But before I could even realize what.s going on, I found out that the
space was a useless chunk which won.t work properly, the address wouldn.t
connect, the contents warped and too much downtime.
Wiser I grew as an year passed, I labored my way up to get a working
website, having a helpful lovely support team. I knew what I wanted for my
website. How did I achieve it? I had the advantage having a lot of
wonderful friends who are working for several web hosting companis. But
what about you? You see a world of opportunity waiting to be tapped and
just dive-in into the vicious circle of money loss and disappointment!
I don.t seek to be the angel of all odds, but I thought some useful tips
and hints on how to get started in the web might help the ignorant and
also save you from the misfortune. So what is it? I don.t want to repeat
the .Know what you want. statement because that.s too clichéd and not that
simple to handle when it comes to the real thing. Sure you have a vague
idea of what you want but what about the fine prints in all that, the
.mumbo jumbo., so to speak?
I don.t think you do! So relax, sit back and before you go jumping off to
the last line, just read a bit.
MB of Space
What.s an MB? MB stands for MegaByte. Basically this is the storage place
allotted to you. Before buying the space, spend a little time in thinking
about your website.s requirements. Calculate approximately how much you
require and then add another 50. Excess space will help you to add and
alter and expand in the future. Always better to have too much in the bag
than too little, isn.t it? Remember audio and video files need a lot of
space.
Pricing (Monthly/Yearly)
The payment options are either monthly or yearly. Believe me it is wiser
.test the water. first by starting with the monthly plan. Don.t be tempted
by all the marketing talks about discounted rates for longer period of
time and pay for the year (or more) at one go!
Domain Name Registration
What.s a Domain Name? It.s basically the www.yourdomainname.com. This
Domain name has to be registered so that no one else can use it. Most web
hosts would provide domain registration as a package. If you already own a
domain name then you surely have to transfer to the new host. Ensure that
the host provides this service. Also ask for directions on how to do it
yourself. If you don.t have a name already, then ponder for a moment and
think how many names you would need. Will one be enough? No extra names to
be attached to sub-domains? Do you need redirects?
While selecting the suitable domain name for your website, make sure that
it is relevant to what your site would feature. It should not be that you
talk about .woodworking. while your website name is .cool-curtains.com..
That.s very embarrassing!!
Email Accounts
There are quite a few options here.
Mail Servers: You think you would be getting substantial amount of mail
through your website, then opt for a mail server. It is basically an
actual online site, like mail.yoursitename.com, where you have your
personal mail box. An email address like info@yourdomainname.com would be
more professional unlike those free email addresses like
John6578@hotmail.com
Mailing Lists: Do you want to promote your site through newsletters,
promotional informations, sending emails to lot of people, then you might
look for this mailing list option. However, lists are not always a
.must-have. service option for the hosting company.
Mail Catch all: This service executes what the name suggests. It collects
emails which have wrongly typed names (typo), wrong names etc but have
your domain written properly in the email ID, like typo@yourdomain.com
Mail Redirects: If you want the emails, to be redirected from your
name@yourdomain.com email ID to another mail box e.g. to your hotmail
account, then avail off this service.
There are many other options you might choose for your page. Like having
multimedia, Front Page Support, Access/Database support, cgi bin, custom
404 error pages, search engine submissions etc. Think and make a list of
your website.s requirements.
But before you initiate anything, send an email to the support team of the
web hosting service provider, asking them whether they provide the
services you require. Try to be polite and friendly and point to your
specific requirements. Assess their feedback and response time, whether
they are prompt or slow. This would give you a good indication of what
kind of support you would get in the future.
Basically, the crux of the matter is that you think before you spend.
Countless victims are there to tell their tale of woes and frustrations.
I.m one of the one but I had grown wiser. Don.t be fooled by sweet talking
marketing guys whop would spare no efforts to promise you everything. Are
you sure they can deliver?
