Tips for a Better Hosting Experience

January 5, 2010 - 4:44 pm No Comments
There are followings things that one should keep in mind for experiencing a better web hosting experience. However the biggest tip is that one should not hurry and should take his/her own time for considering their offer and then selecting the best out of them.

The biggest tip is that one should clearly ascertain what are his/her needs and then should the following things:

1. Price: One should try to maximize his/her budget as best service can not be availed at just one dollar per month.

2. Scripting: One should ascertain in advance what scripting technology needs to be supported?

3. Database: One should check what database one’s web site requires?

4. Disk space: One should also ascertain the amount of disk space required.

5. Bandwidth: last but not the least user should ascertain the amount of data transfer.

Now, coming to point one should first find out 3-4 hosts that are meeting his/her requirement. Thereafter one should write the preferences in chronological orders.

We’re now going to look at each one of them and see how well they compare.

Price Freeze Guarantee

The user with a price freeze guarantee can lead his price fix and thus can control the web hosting prices. However the prices even don’t go down with this. It is a fact that the prices of web-hosting services have gone down rapidly, thus giving an additional incentive for the web hosts to advertise this guarantee.

Now there are several questions that emerge in the mind of user like what one should find out from the web host, if the web host lowers or increases the prices on one’s package, will they lower/increase one’s price as well? Does it still hold if user pre-paid for the whole year? For all these and other questions one should email and get their response and in addition should check the response time taken by them.

Things in addition one should know

Since how long is the business in existence? One should try to find out since how long one is in business. It is a fact that web hosting companies that have been in business for long will have the date prominently displayed on their website and as against this new companies don’t disclose such informations.

Why is this important?

It is very important to know about the company because no one would be happy finding that his/her host is out of business at any time as it is a general rule that one who is longer in the web hosting company is going to stay longer.

Now, an important thing that comes in one mind is that and any web host can go belly up anytime but if they’ve been in the web hosting business for longer period let say more than 3 years, one can assume that they are making some money, because it is a general thinking that most hosts are small businesses and they cant afford to work unprofitably for a longer period as they don’t have much capital.

Is taking of Web Host Feedback necessary?

Now the question emerges is taking of feedback necessary and answer is yes! One should check the web hosting message boards. As it is the place where there is plenty of information and feedback on most hosts.

In case these boards are not available then one can simply ask for registration which is usually free and so many people can read the web hosting boards and thus one can get all answers very quickly.

As soon as one finds his/her host’s feedback, one should check the date of the feedback.

In addition to above one should check the severity of the complaints. One should check what the types of problems are and then should react accordingly.

Thus one should look out for the feedback on one’s web hosts. One must make sure that he/she should get some good points in it. After that it is possibility that the particular host selected is the right one.

Several people see such hosting offers one or the other day denoting, “unlimited bandwidth only for $3 per month”. It can be anything including unlimited bandwidth, mailboxes, space etc; but “unlimited bandwidth” is the most commonly prevailing offer.

One should be considered fool if he/she do not sign up such offer. The name: UNLIMITED bandwidth, remove half of the tension of a user, then the extent of visitors doesn’t matter for him/her because of the availability of limitless bandwidth.

One usually thinks in the same way. But, when user goes for such offers it proves to be a mirage. And then makes a final judgment in his/her mind: don’t get attract to such offers!!

In real sense there is nothing unlimited. For an instance, classic hard disks are now of 80 or 120 GB. They will increase in their capacity, but there will be nothing actually called “unlimited disk”. If one extends space, one merely needs to purchase another disk, that’s the only one and last alternative. Similarly in bandwidth, Internet connection for one’s host can have 10MB/s or higher throughput, but it cannot be termed as an “unlimited” one. In fact, it is termed as UNMETERED bandwidth. “UNMETERED” means, “one cannot measure the exact utilization of bandwidth”.

One again thinks that, he/she can use ample of bandwidth because hosts do not have any criteria to know it.

Unfortunately, mistaken again. One should think about resource limits of the server machine on which his/her site is. For a user computer with proper speed may consume around $2000, and the Internet connection may lay around $500 per month. It not ends here only, miscellaneous expenditures like electricity, technical support, collocation facility rental, etc. also involves. Hence, to extract profit from available $3 per month, the company should place around 500, 1000 or even up to 2000 people on an unchanged computer. This is the only one sided option left, nothing else.

Hence, one has to rely on a host, hosted on $3 a month along with 1000 other people. For an instance, one’s site is becoming famous and receiving additional visitors on a regular basis. It happens with other web sites on one’s server. Resulting, overloading of the server. Hence, concluding with slow pace of both server and user’s web site.

One should keep in mind that Internet connection, server CPU power, disk etc are not infinite; the same amount of them must be divided between more and more page requests. If one’s site handles 10 visitors a day and provides with outstanding response, one cannot anticipate same result while handling 10.000 visitors.

Hence, which way is opened for hosting company? They will choose such websites, which consumes the majority of bandwidth/CPU power. One should not consider it? User should vigilantly go through terms and conditions of service while dealing with the host. The host will make a proper utilization of it. One cannot expect a refund of money if his/her account is closed. It is because user has violated their TOS – by consuming excessive “unlimited” bandwidth!

This is the reality. User will lament after all happens with him/her.

Certainly, one can find few real unmetered bandwidth hosts in the market. Their dealing criteria is not $2 or $3, but at 100-$300 a month. If user purchases such service, he/she will be only person to consume the server, and then one will have full right to utilize full processing power and bandwidth. If one is expecting such services at $5 or less he/she is doing nothing but making a fool of himself/herself.
