After purchasing a domain name next step is to fill it up with contents but is it enough? No! Not yet next is –
HOSTING.
One should have proper knowledge of hosting for running his/her site successfully and its quite easy to know about it just what is required is to type ‘web hosting' in Google, clicking ‘I'm filling lucky' and then simply clicking the big ‘BUY' button on a website that appears.
Ok! That was just a joke now coming to point given below is the list of what one need to learn before choosing a web hosting company.
Disk Space
It totally depends upon the size of the website. It’s easy to calculate the volume of the disk space. It can be calculated by checking the website's weight at one’s computer folder. But one must take care to keep some space as spare to be used in future if required.
Example, if one’s web site needs 100 MB of disk space, and then he/she must opt for the plan, which offers at least 150 MB of web space, which will help in preventing a large unexpected bill at the end of the month. This is so because most of the web hosts charge heavily afterwards for extra space.
Bandwidth
For bandwidth also earlier calculation is needed. One must try to estimate how much bandwidth (data transfer) is required for his/her web site and thereafter should get bandwidth little bit in spare.
Example, if one’s website uses 5GB bandwidth monthly, then he/she must select a plan, which offers at least 8 GB bandwidth per month. This again as in above case will help in preventing extra bill afterwards for extra bandwidth at the end of the month.
Website Speed
Website speed is an important factor while considering a hosting service as only this facility will decide how fast one’s website loads when some one visits his/her site. One must keep in mind that no visitor in future will waste his/her time by just watching website getting opened.
One must ask his/her hosting provider to provide with a list of their client's websites to check their speed. Only after getting positive report one should move ahead.
Mail Server
Finally one must make sure that he/she gets enough email addresses with own domain name. It is not required to pay more for use of a mail server as many hosts offer this service now for free, within the hosting plan.
Thus the above points can serve a lot for a beginner and will help him/her in overcoming several problems, which can arise afterwards.
