Web Design

The Internet is developing nowadays and has become the most powerful communication mechanism since the dawn of mankind.

With its communication power it is possible to establish business empires quicker and with less startup capital.

Yet, all this power with just a few clicks, it is surprising for me, how most entrepreneurs and businesses will subject their businesses at risk to save several bucks.

Will you set a luxury house on a foundation created for double-wide trailer?

If not, then why would you try to create legitimate online business to support your family members and to invest into your livelihood using $4 per month web hosting?

It is not reasonable, but many people do it every day and unhappily, the price of consequences can be higher hundred times what you managed to save.

If you decided to create your own web site, you need to find a reliable web hosting company. But before looking for a web hosting company you should definitely know the purpose of your web site.

If need a little family web site or a non-commercial blog, then web hosting services at cost of $5 will be an excellent option for you.

If you aim to host a basic, but dependable web site to market your own or resell someone else’s products, then you should opt for a web hosting company offering it’s services at a price of 9 – 20 a month.

If you would like to host multiple web sites to drive search engine traffic, market your own products online, and get a reasonable amount of traffic, then be ready to spend about $15 – $50 a month, depending on services you choose.

If you are going to establish a serious e-commerce web site and need the flexibility to develop, then choose a dedicated server for $100 – $200 a month.

When choosing a web hosting company, consider the following facts and do not overlook anything.

Will you run scripts on your web site?

If the answer is “yes” make sure that your web hosting provider can offer you mysql and cgi-bin.

Will you have your own “dedicated IP address?”

All domain names connected to an IP address consisting of a series of numbers.

Each domain has its own number, it is similar to phone numbers that can be dialled anywhere in the world.

Nonetheless, your domain can share an IP address with lots of other web sites. It depends on how your web host establishes their server.

If one of those web sites goes down, everyone on the same IP address are affected in a negative way.

I recommend: pay an extra for getting your own dedicated IP.

How much space do you need?

You should check if your web hosting provider can offer you at least 100 megabytes of space.

Also, be careful and check that your web hosting company can provide you with 10 gigabytes of data transfer per month and 10 email forwarding accounts.
