All about Web Hosting.

Hosting plays an important role in a blog’s life, most of the new bloggers don’t understand this thing and choose their service provider and hosting type without knowing what their service provider offers and of which type of hosting suits them the best. To them all that matters is money, money and money. They want a cheap service provider, which gives them a lot of options. Why don’t they understand that most of the best things are not ‘Cheap’. Sometime backs I shared tips to choose right Web-hosting service providers and our editor posted a review about HostGator services (both posts helped a lot to our readers, we got a great response from them), but we didn’t give the proper answers to the questions that every blogger does ask (who care about their traffic and all, not those who just choose hosting blindly and cry later-on). Tonight I am going to give all information that a blogger should know before choosing a host.

There are three types of Web-hosting available, and all three depends on which type of site and how much traffic you have. Types of hosting are:

• Shared: In this type of hosting the server is shared by a lot of people and any can use your server resource any time in any possible way without giving any credit. If you have small, static, or newly WordPress powered blogs that doesn’t have a lot of time, then it is OK to start your blogging journey with it.
• Dedicated: A dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of Internet hosting in which the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone (from WikiPidea). This type of web hosting is too costly and we wouldn’t suggest you that go for it until you have a lot of traffic because if you don’t, then it is full loss of money.
• VPS: This type of hosting is best for you even if you are not a tech savvy. In this server a physical computer server is divided in multiple servers. If you are expecting a spike in traffic from social media sites, then this one the server which suits you the best.

Tips to choose

• First thing before choosing the right service provider for you is you should know which server suits you the most, depending on the type of the site you have. I have written about all three types of hosting available in above stanzas (read them once more).
• Once you know the type of Web-hosting that suits you the best, next step is to start reading the reviews about them (read not on their sites, but also on others). If possible try to monitor some of their servers for  sometime.
• Last point, but not the least is to check their response. Contact them (about the server) and see how much time do they take.

Service Providers

Well, honestly telling I have seen many servers, but only found two companies worth reviewing.

1. HostGator: Host Gator is one of the 10 largest Web-Hosts in the world, hosting about 2,200,000 domains (with shared cPanel). It gives 99.9% up time and best thing about it is that you can get your money back in 45 days if you don’t like their services.
2. DotEasy: It is popular for its domain registration service and affiliate marketing solutions. You can yourself test its performance by signuping for free web-hosting.

Sign Up for your hosting that suits you the best on HostGator or DotEasy.

So how are going to choose your service provider?
