Web hosting service is not a subject to take lightly. Choose the wrong web host and you can find yourself stuck in A Webmasters Nightmare on Dot Com Street. Months and even years of hard work can go down the tubes when your web site is faced with the inability to grow. The trick is to find a web hosting plan that will expand with your web site. When you search for a hosting plan, be sure the web hosting servers are able to support the most common programming languages and features such as PHP, ASP, Java and CGI Pearl scripts. Even if you won't use them right away, having these options now can save you a ton of headaches later. At some point you'll likely want more than a static web site. Good web hosting providers will allow FTP access via clients such as Microsoft Front Page or Dream Weaver, even if they provide an online editor. Sometimes you will find the need to upload and install programs to your web hosting server. Be certain you can upload third party software, which saves time in having to program software yourself. Web hosting packages often come with a free domain name with a hosting plan. You'll want a web host who can host your domain name, but it's always best to purchase your domain. In the event you ever need to move to a different web host, you wont be stuck buying the domain from the domain hosting or web hosting company who will likely overcharge you. Whenever possible, buy your domain name and hosting packages a year or two in advance. There is some speculation that major search engines place more emphasis on web sites who's hosting and domain name have been purchased anywhere from one to five years or more. Avoid web host's who only charge monthly, even if that's all you can afford right now. Web hosting server up time is critical to a web sites performance. Be sure a servers up time is above 98 percent. Many boast 99 percent server up time, so it isn't hard to find a reliable server. The last thing you want is for your visitors to find your site only to discover the server is down. Many first time visitors won't return to a "broken site". Web hosting providers often offer free domain E-mail and sub domains along with your hosting plan. E-mail at your domain, and sub domains are a good thing to have. You'll want as many E-mail addresses and sub domains as you can get. Make sure your web host provides a way to purchase more without having to upgrade your entire hosting package. A good web hosting service will usually provide free software, scripts, and forms. This can save webmasters and developers a whole lot of time that could be better spent in marketing. As a rule of thumb, the more free web hosting tools a web host provides, the better. Not only do these freebies save time, they will save you money too. When your web hosting service can support many programming languages, FTP access, software or file uploads, hosting and domain name hosting for extended periods, plus free domain E-mail and sub domains that can be purchased separately, along with free scripts and tools, with good server up time, you'll have the backbone in place for a successful, dynamic, and expandable web site.
