Commercial Web Hosting - Business ConsiderationsWritten by Brian Thorn
There are many reasons why choosing right web host pack can be beneficial for your business. Most importantly, if you don't purchase a package that offers you all things you need to run a business online, you won't be able to attract and retain a faithful client base. For example, one way an online business can benefit from right web host pack is through use of domain names. Some web hosts offer free domain names and for blossoming online business, right name is often very important. Remember that domain names are unique - no two web sites can have same name (or same address). If you have an idea for a great name for your domain and that name has not already been taken, you can register your name even before you are ready to set up your website. This process is called "parking" domain name and it ensures that name will be available when you are ready to start your website. Many web hosting providers include domain names as part of web host pack. Taking advantage of such an offer is one way an online business can benefit from right web host pack. Security is another feature offered by web hosting companies and another example of how an online business can benefit from right web host pack. In today's climate, computer hackers, viruses and worms are simply a matter of fact. If an online business cannot assure customers that it's safe to enter personal information on company's website, there's likely to be few people who are willing to take chance. Especially when it comes to financial information - credit card numbers and bank account information - security is vital. People who routinely shop online are usually careful to note privacy policies and security systems in place before they order. While providing your own security is feasible, having a web host pack that includes a solid security system will help ensure that your company information and your clients' information is secure. After all, how hard would it be to regain trust if you had a major security breach?
| | Web Hosting Server - What to look forWritten by Brian Thorn
As with any service, question of what to look for in server hosting packages depends largely on goals you have. If you have a company in need of a server host, your needs are naturally going to be much different than if you are an individual looking for a server host.To get a basic understanding of what to look for in server hosting packages, you should first understand what is meant by server hosting. On a very basic level, computers simply communicate with other computers in order to get information delivered to your screen. In order to view any Internet page - including this one - you either ran a search or typed in an Internet address and page appeared. In order for page to appear on your screen, your computer communicated request to another computer. In this situation, your computer is called a "client" or "user" computer. The other computer is called "server" computer. A server host is a company that provides some services for those server computers, usually in form of housing computers, maintaining hardware and sometimes even maintenance of programming. If you have a company and are in market for server hosting packages, you first need to make a list of your specific requirements. Amount of space, services and speed are probably among most important aspects of what to look for in server hosting packages. As you decide what you want from your server host, you should consider not only current needs but also future needs of your company. Do you expect to expand some day? Are you going to need a bigger website with more features at some point? Sometimes, web hosts limit users to "static" websites, while others allow for interactive sites. Remember that an interactive web page will typically require more space but will be more likely to draw visitors to stop by again.
