Once you have finished the designing process of your website, you move on to the next phase: its actual publication on the Internet. But before you show to the world what you're website is all about, you'll have to deal with the ones who put up all that pages that you surf everyday on the Internet - the web hosting providers.
In case you have no idea what they are and what they do, web hosting providers are just like that - they are companies providing hosting for websites just like yours.
Web hosting providers are important not only to web site owners and Internet users like you and me but also to the Internet as a whole as they are the ones responsible in the propagation of information provided by individuals and businesses through their websites. Without web hosting providers, the Internet would be nothing like the vibrant and thriving community that it is today.
Now you know that they are important, you also have to know that all of them are not created equal. That is why you should follow these few guidelines in choosing the right web hosting provider:
Site Accessibility
Your choice of web hosting provider will determine the accessibility of your own site.
Make sure that you don't end up with providers that have poor service as they have frequent downtime and longer load times causing their hosted websites to have fewer visitors. Ending up with a provider that has frequent downtime will also cause your website not to be included in search listings.
So be sure to look for a web host that will provide your website with quick load times and zero downtime.
SSL Availability
SSL is a form of encryption used on the Internet to secure transactions between done between websites and Internet users.
Some websites might not require SSL but websites that deals with transactions that involves credit card codes, PINs, etc. between website owners and Internet users/consumers should have SSL encryption for security.
When your website requires SSL, make sure that you choose a provider that provides websites with automatic SSL protection as there will be an additional fee if you request for SSL as an add-on.
Server Side Scripting Availability
When a web hosting provider provides server side scripting for their websites, it means that their web sites are capable of changing real time, which is perfect for business websites.
Almost all web providers have their web sites equipped with this feature but it doesn't hurt to make sure that your provider provides you with this functionality
Customer Support
Whether you're a newbie or a veteran in the world of web publishing, it helps that your web provider has excellent customer support. All of us will always have questions about something and having good customer support from your provider will make everything easier.
Make sure that you remember pointers such as these as having a checklist like this one makes not only the search for the right web hosting provider hassle-free but the entire lifetime of your website as well.
