Title: Mistakes to Avoid while Choosing Web Hosts (1)


1
Web Hosting
2
Introduction
  • Internet has become an indispensable part of our
    lives with numerous websites that we browse every
    day. These websites are made accessible to us by
    web hosting service providers. These websites
    data is stored on the servers of these web hosts
    who provide the technical assistance and
    resources to keep websites up and running.

3
Too Many Choices
  • With many web hosts proliferating the market and
    offering similar packages at almost similar
    prices, a website owner can easily get misled if
    he does not do proper research while zeroing in
    on the right fit for his website. At times making
    such a mistake can have disastrous impact on your
    business.

4
Choosing a wrong web host can
  • Make you lose a substantial amount of money if
    the website does not have proper security
    measures.
  • Destroy your brand image.
  • Might even land you in legal problems in the
    worst case.

5
Now let us shed some light in the following
slides on the mistakes that website owners need
to avoid while choosing web hosts.
Not Prioritizing Having a Reliable Web Hosting
Service Provider
When a web host does not provide efficient
service then the chances of the website
encountering frequent downtime increases as well
as it can load much slowly. This is not what the
website owner has signed up for and having a slow
or no access to the website can significantly
impact adversely the purpose of having a website,
more so for a business websites. By checking the
reviews for the web host before signing up for
it, this mistake can be avoided.
6
Choosing a Free Hosting Service
  • Free web hosting services will run ads on the
    website that can be annoying for those visiting
    it. The website might end up getting less
    traffic. More over, free hosting services rank
    poorly for uptime, speed, reliability and
    availability.
  • Since it is a free service, no compensation could
    be expected if the web hosting service terminates
    operating without notice and your website
    disappears suddenly with that.

7
Prioritizing Price as a Factor
  • Price definitely plays a major role but it should
    not be the deciding factor. The cheapest web
    hosting plans compromise on speed, security,
    features, infrastructure, storage and might have
    inadequate customer support to offer such
    attractively low prices.

8
Choosing a Web Hosting Package with no Refund
Guarantee
  • Reliable web hosts display confidence in their
    service and packages and are ready to issue
    refunds. Hence, a web host that is not offering a
    guaranteed refund is difficult to trust.
  • Almost all the web hosting companies that have
    established themselves as the most reliable in
    the market, offer money-back guarantees. The
    guarantee durations length differs but any
    reliable web host will offer a refund.

9
Choosing a Package Which Does Not Suit the
Websites Needs
  • The websites requirements must be met by the
    package that has been selected. The website needs
    must be identified before zeroing in on the right
    package. Choosing a wrong package can result in
    paying unnecessarily for features one might not
    need.
  • Conversely, one might end up with a package that
    does not provide sufficiently for the website to
    be up and running without a glitch.

10
Lacking Proper Knowledge About Signup and Renewal
Price
  • The signup price and the renewal price are two
    different prices that one needs to be clear
    about. Usually the renewal price is not the same
    as the signup price but significantly higher.
    Its a standard practice for most of the web
    hosting companies to hike up their renewal price.
    So, it is vital to not choose a web host that is
    not reasonable with this price hike.

11
Getting Lured by Vaguely Defined Terms
  • The most common of these is the rampant
    advertisement of the phrase unlimited when it
    comes to bandwidth, storage etc. Usually these
    are advertised for shared hosting services where
    these unlimited resources are shared which
    makes these limited when it comes to the real
    scenario.

12
Ignoring Security Features
  • If the security is compromised then that can be
    extremely dangerous for the website as it makes
    it vulnerable to cyber threats. This can be
    especially perilous for websites that are
    conducting business online. But even bloggers
    cannot neglect security features as cyber threat
    exists for every vulnerable website.

13
Choosing a Host Without Checking its Reviews
  • Before making a choice based on what has been
    advertised, a thorough research needs to be done
    regarding the web host companys background. One
    must go through the reviews and feedback it has
    got and try to find out about the complaints
    against it. Almost all web hosts provide similar
    packages and advertise it in the most attractive
    way but the real deal can be found after going
    through the reviews of those that have used it.

14
Choosing a Web Host that Does Not Provide 247
Customer Support
  • Nothing can be more annoying than encountering an
    issue where your website stops being up and
    running unexpectedly and not finding immediate
    help and quick resolution. This can make a
    business website lose sales and for any website
    lose a significant number of visitors in general,
    which is a nightmare for any website owner.
  • Hence, it is extremely important to choose a web
    host that offers 247 customer support for
    constant assistance as and when needed.

15
Conclusion
  • Every website owner needs the right web host to
    ensure that his website is up and running at all
    times at high speed with high uptime and that it
    is safe from any cyber threat. Choosing the right
    web host becomes much easier when one is mindful
    of the mistakes that need to be avoided.
