Submitted by anandrahi on 15 August, 2007 - 01:13.

Domain/Website/Webhosting

Have you decided to get a web site of your own? It is easy to build a website with the help of templates. Many websites are providing free templates. After a little understanding you can design your own website. But the most important decision is to get a competitive web hosting service. That is a difficult task if you don’t know about a company. Web hosting is a necessity when you want your own web presence because without it you can't run a site. Finding high quality web hosting can actually be a challenge. You may be misguided or you may not be able to decide.

Be Ready to Tolerate the Headache

There are thousands of web hosting companies in the world now. Besides biggies like Yahoo, Indiatimes, Siffy, Rediff, there are web hosting companies in every area. Web hosting companies are earning a lot of money. High cost of web hosting and many times poor service is a great headache a customer has to go through.

Which Type of Web Hosting You Need

Web hosting service depends on the type of site you want to run. How many megabytes or gigabytes of bandwidth (transfer) you really need per month? Do you need a database? Companies charge according to the size of your bandwidth. Database charges are separate. Before you proceed and want to finalise the company decide your web hosting requirement. The rate of web hosting vary from to $dollar 100 per month depending on your requirement.

Your Mail Box Requirement

You also need some mail boxes which can be used by different department or persons of your company. You must have more than 20. Better if you are able to have about 100 it would be better. Not only you or departments but your staff members and your family members would also like to use the mail box of your company just to feel at home and comfortable.

Make a List

Make a list of various web hosting companies. Discuss with various hosting companies about your website and its requirement. They will guide you properly. Then talk to your friends (and their satisfaction) who are taking web hosting service. Be careful that your web hosting company is always approachable in case of any problem. Every company will try to convince you about their good service but be practical and take wise decisions.
