  some concept in mind. Various types of websites
  can be created and before you start with
  designing the website, you need to know what type
  of website you want and how you want it to look
  when it is ready. For instance, if you would like
  to create an online store, you will have to setup
  a shopping cart along with the web hosting
  account. If you would like to set up a blog, then
  you will have to plan in the direction of
  installing WordPress on your hosting account.

  you can streamline your thought process
  accordingly. Also, the process of getting the
  website designed will also be simplified. If you
  have a website idea in mind, you need to think
  and plan on getting it implemented.

  you think of are either already registered or
  purchased by individuals for domain name
  reselling.

Analyzing Your Web Hosting Requirements
Registration of domain name is followed by
purchasing a web hosting package for your
website! In order to purchase the right web
hosting package, you need to know the amount of
hosting resources required by your website. To
start with, you need to have understanding of 3
basic web hosting concepts Web Space Web
space is also known as storage space or disk
space. It refers to the amount of space on a web
server that is assigned to the website by the web
hosting company. In the allocated web space you
can upload files (HTML files, content, image
files, videos etc.). Bandwidth Bandwidth is
the level of traffic or data allowed to transfer
between your website, users and internet. Web
hosting companies provides with a particular
level of bandwidth with every web hosting
package. Hosting Location You need to be
careful while selecting the web hosting location.
If you are based in India and your target
audience is also from India, then your hosting
location should also be India. Selecting proper
hosting location avoids website latency and
enhances website loading speed. Once you have an
understanding of these terms, you will be able to
estimate your web hosting requirements.

you have an idea about the hosting resources that
will be required, you must go ahead and sign up
for the ideal web hosting package. Various types
of web hosting packages are available. Types Of
Web Hosting Packages Shared Hosting Shared
hosting is the basic form of web hosting that is
used by small, medium-size, startup websites and
blogs. Like the name suggests, on a shared

but would like to avoid the high infrastructure
costs, opt for reseller hosting. Through reseller
hosting, you can create your own hosting plans
and promote your own brand name though white

inexpensive way to start a web hosting
business. VPS Hosting VPS hosting, also known

Bursting The Myth Behind Unlimited Web Hosting

• While searching for a web hosting package, you
  might come across web hosting packages with
  unlimited bandwidth or unlimited disk space. It
  is important for you to be cautious and stay away
  from such web hosting packages. Unlimited
  bandwidth and disk space does not exist in real!
  The web hosting companies that provide unlimited
  hosting resources are only overselling the web
  hosting. In reality Unlimited is a marketing
  gimmick that is used for alluring the customers.
  Web hosting companies are here to make money and
  they have to think about earning profits
  therefore they have to use such marketing terms
  for getting more and more customers.
• Unlimited hosting is limited in the real sense
• It is not possible to offer unlimited bandwidth
  through limited number of cables transmitting the
  data
• It is not possible to employ unlimited manpower
  for managing the networks and servers
• If your website becomes slow after signing up for
  an unlimited hosting package, you will be asked
  to upgrade the hosting package
• Unlimited hosting users are restricted by many
  rules
• There are restrictions on RAM, Inodes, CPU
  queries, number of MySQL databases etc.
• Web hosting is a long term investment, so why
  invest in something that is not real? Why invest
  in something that wont provide you with the
  right benefits? Opt for a realistic web hosting
  package and enjoy hassle-free hosting.

  in determining the appropriate web hosting
  package, you also have to put in some analysis
  for selecting the web hosting company. The web

  and customer issues.

  The Web Hosting Company

  hosting resources and prices offered by them.

  customers have to say about them.

  they can provide.

  for managing the web hosting account.
• Check if they offer CMS powered hosting, if
  required.
• Know if your website has room to grow without
  investing a lot of money.
• The most important thing ask if they provide
  with 24/7/365 support and if they are available
  for dealing with customer issues round the clock.
• Check if support is provided through various
  channels like phone support, tickets, chats and
  emails. You can test the response time by
  initiating a chat through the website.
• Just like it is important to sign up for an
  appropriate web hosting package, it is also
  important to sign up with the best web hosting
  company. As a result of this, you will get good
  customer service and you can entirely concentrate
