Web Hosting – The Life Blood Of Any Internet Activity Online.

what u think?

web hosting is a service provided by companies that will allow individuals and businesses to have websites visible to people surfing the web. Many people browsing the Internet are not aware of the vast networks of resources used to display those websites. Web hosts come in all different sizes from the teenage kid working from his bedroom to the large multimillion dollar corporate giant. They are all fundamentally the same and work the same way. They provide space on server usually in a data center which in turn are connected to routers to provide access to the server when you type in the url.

The teenage kid may lease a server at a data center or more likely lease a small portion of the disk space on a server. Some servers may have 100’s of people using it’s disk space. Next door to that server may be an identical server owned by a large household name web hosting company. The only difference between them will be the cost and the level of customer service and technical support they can provide on a day to day basis.

you should choose your web hosting company wisely. As we have seen above, your host could turn out to be a college kid sat in his bedroom. When looking for a host it is always good to go with personal recommendations and not rely solely on how the hosting company’s site looks. A professional looking template costs very little and can often be bought for a few dollars so if you rely on how a site looks to choose your host you may be sorely disappointed.

Check the hosts performance statistics and ensure that they can answer any questions you have promptly. A few hours spent investigating potential web hosting companies now will save days of heartache and in the future.
