Its a funny thing website hosting. Not a lot of people know how it really works.

The biggest confusion is people used to think that just buying a website domain was enough. Then you magically got somebody to place content onto it.

As technology evolves and people become a lot more computer literate website hosting becomes a much more needed service. I feel nearly all small – large size business need a website. So im going to explain just a little bit about how website hosting works and how to choose the right person to host your website. Things you need to look out for and things you need to be aware of.

Pricing

You may think that the cheaper the host the better. wrong! You will damage your website and it reputation by using cheap hosting services.

You’ll need to pick something thats affordable of course but the price really does depict the service you are getting. I’d say that most small to medium business could get away with paying £8 – £10 /mo for website hosting, but if your going to get somebody (a website designer) to manage it for you then i’d suggest the pricing can vary from £20 – £50, or keeping it at the £8 – £10 but including an hourly charge for any maintenance.

Unlimited Bandwidth, isn’t really unlimited! So although you may think GREAT i’ve got no worries about the amount of visitors coming to my site. you do!.
