After
numerous encounters with the truth that vociferously demanded your
business to have a web presence too, good sense finally prevailed. You
have decided to align yourself with the group constituted by zillions
who have already reached, tested, tried and ….still trying hard to make a
mark in the webscape.
Welcome
you to internet.The web of hopes, mistakes, chances, spams,
connectivity, crawlers, communities, bots…..etc.etc.etc and many more.
Welcome to the world of Web – the web of internet.
What do you want your website to do now?
Most
understandably, you want your website to make your business more
popular and bring profit on the account of a rich showcase of your
specialty and capabilities. And I am just very sure that you have
already hard-lined your future steps to completely assure success for
every concept and formula that you have conceived.
How about a final check on the options that you might have ignored?
Why?
Because, based on these options you would be making a very important
selection in the near future. The decision would be of selecting right
web hosting service provider for your company.
Ok.
From further complicating the matter and getting more into mysteries,
let’s get into a bit of quizzing session. Following are some questions
that need to be asked and proceeded in the exact synchrony that I have
followed here. However, you have the entire right to ask them in the
manner you want. You can use your cubicle, conference room, living room,
drawing room, (or for that of a matter wash room also), to settle into
the groove of asking and finding the right solution.
First: What you want your website to do?
And then follow the series below:
1. Do you want to integrate features like blogs, forum or other community specific services with your website?
2. Do you want your website to feature Content Management System (CMS)
3. Do you want your site to be e-commerce enabled?
4. Do you want your site to be equipped with Customer Relation Management (CRM) application?
Now,
if for all of the questions the answer is a grand ‘No’, you can safely
choose from any of the low-cost (or even free!) web hosting facility on
ready provision from several Internet Service Providers. Also, you have
option from the service of various advertisement sponsored sites that
offer free space for personal/small-scale webpage hosting. Other than
few design related qualms, you would have very little problem in
enjoying your own web identity for free.
But what if for one of the above questions the answer is ‘Yes’?
Get
into a rigorous search to find yourself a web hosting company that has
experience in offering services partaking to your necessities. Go
through the details of its web hosting plans and read through what
clients of the service provider has to say.
Most
often you would have options from Linux and Windows-based web hosting
to choose from. Understand the plan and the behind the text meaning of
the plans and offers.
