The Importance Of Hosting For our Website.
Keeping a business website online for as much of the day and as many days of the year as possible is absolutely vital to the financial success of our business venture.So how can we select a right host?

Our website host is the company that is responsible for ensuring that our website remains stable and online for prsent time.

Most hosts will give an estimated downtime or uptime for their service and this is measured as a percentage. For example, if a host declares they have a 99% uptime, this means that for every 100 hours that our site is hosted with them, it will be down for 1 hour.

Downtime is not only will we lose the potential custom during this hour but any potential future business from the customers that eventually and inevitably look elsewhere.

it is absolutely vital we get a web host that has as high an uptime as we can possibly find to protect our business and to protect our profit.

Many companies may have similar reliability with their offering, and this means there are other areas we must concentrate on to determine the most appropriate web host for our needs.

If we have a personal website then we may want to use a free host. Free hosts usually make no guarantee as to the reliability of their site and use advertising to supplement the lack of direct income made from our account.

However, with a business website it is not advisable to use a free account. With paid accounts we receive many benefits, some are essential items while others are more luxuries that will inevitably make our website business run much smoother.

Only by considering all of different kinds of factors will us be able to make a reasonable judgment on the hosting account we will eventually opt for or neglect it.
