Finding the Right Web Hosting Plan
There are many things to consider when choosing a web hosting
plan. The five most important are listed below.
1. Disk Space/Storage
2. Data Transfer
3. Cost
4. Programming Languages
5. Support
1. Disk Space/Storage refers to the amount of space given by a
web hosting plan for your web site's pages, images, and any
additional files. Take this into consideration when determining
the total number of files you will be using for your website and
their sizes. For example, let's say that among your files you
have 100 images which are 50 Kilobytes each in size. This would
use up 4.88281 Megabytes of your storage *(100 x 50 Kilobytes =
5000 Kilobytes = 4.88281 Megabytes). If you are planing on
creating a website with a lot of video or audio files, you will
need a lot of disk space. You can calculate the disk space you
will need for your website
here.
2. Data Transfer is the monthly amount of outward-bound
non-email traffic from your web site, that is allowed by a web
hosting plan. Each time a visitor views one of your pages, all
the files used to generate the page are calculated into your
data transfer. For example, let's say a visitor views a page
that has 50 Kilobytes of text and 200 images at 100 Kilobytes
apiece. This page view would use .0191212 Gigabytes of data
transfer *{50 Kilobytes + (200 x 100 Kilobytes) = 20050
Kilobytes = 19.58008 Megabytes = .0191212 Gigabytes}. Most web
hosting plans' monthly data transfer allowances are listed in
Gigabytes. To calculate your expected monthly data transfer and
convert it into Gigabytes, use these calculators.
3. Cost is very important. You want to find a web hosting plan
that fits into your budget and not sacrifice your disk space and
data
transfer. Many web hosts have more than one plan. So, if
you outgrow one plan, you can upgrade to another that offers
more disk space and data transfer.
4. Programming Languages such as ASP, PHP, Perl/CGI,
JSP and ColdFusion are used to create a lot of popular scripts (software) to
help your website function. For example, let's say you find an
auction script that is written in PHP and you want to use it on
a new domain name you just bought
(the-best-auctions-are-here.com). In that case, you want to make
sure the web hosting plan supports PHP. Also, if you are
planning on selling services or products from your website, make
sure the web hosting plan you choose offers some type of ecommerce
solution such as a shopping cart for example.
5. Support is really important when choosing a web hosting plan.
You should check to see if the web host offers "24 hours a day /
7 days a week" support whether by phone, chat or email.
