- Most Frequent Web Design Mistakes

It is great to see many of today’s Web sites conforming to well-known usability and design standards. Although we have made good headway in the last few years to implement these tried-and-true best practices, many important techniques are still being overlooked. Here’s my list of the top ten most commonly made Web design mistakes.

The Basics:
Web hosting offers you the opportunity to put your web site online, when you think about it; it’s the only way you can do it. No matter how large or small in content your web site happens to be it has to go onto a web server. A web server is simply a larger and much more powerful computer than your own. Your internet content simply sits on this server for people to access and view your information. The web servers are stored within data centers, all you are simply doing is renting some space on the server.

Sometimes the terms "web design" and "web development" are used interchangeably, but the two phrases actually mean two different things. So that you don't get stuck with a service you didn't sign up for, I will go through the two terms and describe them thoroughly.
The Definition of Web Design
Web design typically refers to the process of designing a web site or web page layout and often includes the graphical elements on a page. The design can be developed using a graphics program such as Adobe Photoshop, and provides the framework for the look and feel of a web page. Read more... - Important futures of good web hosting

The first questions you have to ask yourself are: how much space and bandwidth do I need; do I want one site or several sites; how much will I have to spend; am I going to use an SQL database; how much uptime does the web host offer; does this site host spammy adult sites; what extras are offered; are there script limitations; do they provide a control panel; and if my site gets too big, what is the next level and how much does it cost?

| Co-location versus Dedicated Hosting |

With the online industry primarily at a halt (or an amazing stand still at best,) e-business economists are struggling to reduce operating costs for their respective companies. For the dot coms thriving on high traffic, there is no doubt efforts have been put towards trying to reduce hosting or bandwidth costs. As the Internet server hosting market has evolved, many companies have focused a great deal of time into determining the cost advantages and disadvantages of collocation over dedicated serving. After a bit of research, we have established that collocation is not always the most cost efficient choice. For instance, if you chooses to co-locate, you first must purchase all of the hardware (a server - worth between $2,000 and $5,000 low-to-mid end.) You could easily have already spent $8,000, but keep your checkbook handy. We still have seven day support to pay for incase something goes wrong with our server, but your monthly fee may be significantly lower than what a same-range dedicated server would cost you (depending on the plan, of course.) However, if you already own the hard ware, it may be wise to simply ship it to your local data center and co-locate it. This option is especially attractive when you are knowledge in the hardware and software running on your system. For the rest of us, who don't own hardware and cant afford to buy hardware, we'll be stuck paying for dedicated servers. Co-location can be compared to dedicated servers as buying a home and paying property tax to renting an apartment. Both have their advantages, but they vary person to person, company to company. The only real way to know what you are getting into is to sit down and do the math. Co-location is more expensive right away, and cheaper in the long run. Dedicated servers are more expensive in the long run, but cost less in the short run.
