- Cheap Web Hosting - Root Access, Do I need it
-
A lot of times people want hosting with access to root. But what does "root access" mean? Root, or getting root, is receiving the privilege to access all of the places on a computer. If you think of a server/computer as a tree the roots control the tree. The roots of a tree allow water in, minerals in and are the lifeblood of the tree. Anything which goes into the roots goes into the entire tree. Anything which affects the roots of a tree affects the entire tree.
Servers are set up with a similar thought process in that parts of the server are broken down into different areas. Each different area has its own privileges. One area cannot affect another area. For example, if there are three web sites on a server and one web site breaks the other two will not be affected. Each web site is in its own part of the server and can affect only itself. However, there has to be a master account or way into each area or site. If you don't have a master method to access all sites at once it would be a tremendous amount of effort if something needed to be fixed or updated on every site on the server. The method or access to all of the parts of the server is "root access." When someone has root access they can affect everything on the entire server or change everything on the entire server. There are no restrictions with root access. If an error is made in root access it could wipe out the entire server.
So why do people want root access? Who knows. But unless you are leasing your own server and need to affect every account on the server you don't need root access. There are some things you can do to make your site run more efficient with root access, but unless you know what you are doing you could destroy the entire server. And cheap web hosting providers are not going to allow that to happen because chances are there is more than one client on the server. Besides that's what the webhosting company is being paid to do-manage the server where your hosting account is. It's not your job to manage the server, just to manage your own web site. - Custom Web Site Design
-
Web site design has certainly, in the past decade, evolved tremendously. More clients now are demanding custom design, as opposed to the 'cookie cutter' sites of yesteryear.
Where once there existed a limit as to the types of fonts used, the types of coding languages used, and the styles themselves, there is now the possibility for more variety in Web site design than ever before. This has come about because of the advances in technology that did not exist even a few years ago, and it has opened up many creative avenues for Web site designers in the creation of custom designs.

In scouting for a web hosting company, always ensure the disk space and amount of traffic needed.
Amount of Disk Space
The requirement of a small or medium web site is between 10 and 100MB of disk space.
When looking at the size of HTML pages, you will notice that the average size is very small - smaller than 1K. But looking at the size of the pictures used within the pages, you will often find them several times bigger than the page itself.
5 and 50K of space on the server is the expected consumption of each HTML page which is dependent on the use of images or other elements that may consume disk space. Read more... - Free or Cheap web hosting for your website

If you are looking for multiple site hosting in a web host package, you have plenty of options. There are literally dozens of web hosting companies that advertise multiple site hosting options. But what can you expect from these companies and what is it likely to cost? The cost will vary greatly, but there are lots of web hosts that advertise a web hosting package for less than $10 per month. What to expect from a web host depends largely on the host. Services, like price, will vary. Your specific needs will determine what you should expect from a web host service. If one of your important requirements is multiple site hosting in a web host package, you should first determine exactly what you expect the company to provide. It's probably a fairly simple matter to have a single company sell you a web host package for each of the websites you plan to maintain. In some cases, you might find that a company offers discounts for having more than one website package. In some cases, finding a company that can offer multiple site hosting in a web host package means that you want to maintain several websites on a single account. Some companies offer to provide that service at no additional charge. Others have a "per website" rate and will charge extra for each website maintained. You might want to look for a web host package that offers a specific amount of space for a specific price, and that price remains fixed for that amount of space even if multiple websites are established within the set criteria. If you are looking for a web host package for a company, remember that the current needs of that company could be different from future needs. As you search for multiple site hosting in a web package, keep in mind that your business might expand. If your multiple site hosting package proves to be too small, will this particular company be able to meet expanded needs? If you are purchasing a web host package and expect to use all the space immediately, you could be faced with the dilemma of finding a new web host service provider very soon. Whether you're looking for a company to host multiple sites or plan to establish only a single site, remember that comparison shopping is your best chance of finding the service you need at a competitive price. Even for multiple site hosting in a web package, look at total disk space, security, number of e-mail accounts and bandwidth before making a decision. If you find a company that has multiple site hosting in a single web host package, find out if a specific amount of space will be allotted to each website, or if a total amount is promised with you being allowed to use it as you please. For example, you might have one large site and two smaller sites, with the three easily accommodated by the total space allotted. However, if your service provider divides the space and allows only 10 megabytes for each website, you might find that the larger site is too big for the space provided.
