- Why LinuxUnix Hosting is gaining more presence than Windows Hosting
-
Any person interested in publishing any data on the Internet requires Web Hosting. Web hosting has been around for several years now and has evolved from simple HTML pages hosting, small simple sites with a few images into full blown web based hosted applications where end users can visit a site, interact with the web site owner and even purchase goods and services all over the internet.
The use of Internet as a medium for integrating business across the globe with the help of Web Based software applications has produced wide range of web based technologies like ASP, ASP.NET, JSP, PHP and others. This choice has forced various options for web hosting now as HTML based sites work equally well on both Linux and Windows platforms. Read more... - Web Hosting Bandwidth
-
Bandwidth in its simplest terms refers to the amount of data that flows across a network wire in a given time period. For most web hosting providers, that time period is measured in a month. Web hosting providers are charged a certain amount per month or per year for an allocated amount of bandwidth from backbone providers and wholesale data centers. That cost is then passed on to the consumer in the form of web hosting plans.

For those of you with Web sites, you probably know what a “host” is. It’s a company that provides a location, or address, on the Internet where your Web site resides.
In other words, just like a physical business needs an address, so does a Web site. You can’t have a Web site and just “stick it up” on the Web. Unless you want to set up your own server, you have to go through a hosting company who gives you that address, including server space and bandwidth, that enables the search engines and visitors to find your site.

Choosing a budget web hosting company can be overwhelming. In fact, choosing any web hosting company can be a challenge due, in large part, to the fact that there are so many of them. Do a search for "web hosting" with the quotes around the keywords on Google, and it'll return over 5 million documents! That doesn't mean there are 5 million web hosting providers but there very well could be at least 1 million! That's a lot of web hosts. How can you choose one that meets your need?

You have made the decision to build a website! Good for you. Whether you are simply looking for a way to show off your family, to try your hand at making money from an affiliate program or to go into a full-fledged business, your first decision is going to be where to host it. Traveling the maze of hosting options is a bewildering and time consuming job these days. There are literally millions of hosting sites on the Internet! If you don’t believe me, try putting “hosting sites” into any major search engine, and look at the number of sites you will get back. There are free ones, cheap ones, expensive ones… ones that offer a lot of space or only a small space… some offer free templates to build a site “in minutes” and some require an extensive knowledge of HTML programming. Will you need an on-line control panel? Do they allow uploading from your hard drive, or are you going to need an FTP manager? Am I confusing you? Well, these are all things that you are going to need to consider before you make your choice. Most people want to try their hand at a free site to begin with. If you are going to try and do it yourself this is a good way to start learning the ins and outs of site design. I strongly recommend that you sign up with a well-established free hosting site for starters. There are a ton of free hosting options out there, but you are going to want one that is not going to disappear after you have built your site! You also want one that has very little down time. The best site is never going to be seen if the host is unreliable. So, consider such hosting options as Tripod, AngelFire, Yahoo Geocities, AOL Communities and other long-standing sites for your choice. Remember, anyone can buy a used server and set himself up as a hosting site, it does not mean that they will give you anything but grief. If you are starting a business, you really should consider paying for your hosting. Those banners at the top of your free site, or the constant ad pop-ups say to the visitor that you do not have enough faith in your product to risk paying for a site! It may be unfair, but it is the reality. How much you pay for your hosting has a lot to do with your budget. Most of the free sites will allow you to upgrade to a banner-less site for a small amount of money each month. If you are thinking of going with another option, shop around carefully. Check to see how long any hosting business has been around. You are going to want to pick one with a proven track record. Do they have an 800 number for tech support? Sites that only offer email support are chancy. They might not respond for days, or at all. Any reputable hosting business will have a phone number clearly posted. Be sure and check out what country they are located in. You don’t want language problems if you need help. You also might seriously consider contacting them and asking them for the email addresses of other clients. This is a good way to see if their other sites are satisfied with the service. If they don’t want you to contact their other clients, beware! Also, I assure you that you do not have to pay a lot of money in order to get a good hosting site. There are many good options in the $15 to $20 a month price range. Don’t be dazzled by a lot of options that you may not need. All it really takes is common sense to find just the right hosting site for your needs. Good luck!
