How to Choose the Right Web Hosting Company for your Business

One of the best ways to get information out to customers is via a well set up and layed out web site. Most businesses these days have one and for many it is the life blood of their business. In creating a well travelled web site there are two seperate issues that must be dealt with; first is web site creation (i.e. layout, content, look and feel, ...), the second is web (IP) hosting. For every web site you see on the internet there is a host that tells other computers how to find it when they enter their web address. For instance when you typed http:www.GottaGetMyInfo.com (or clicked a link with that address), your web browser needed to find our site. That is done via DNS hosting, and every web site in the world is listed in a DNS host somewhere. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to find it.

There are several factors that help a business decide what service to use for its business IP hosting. These include: The amount of disk space your pages can take, the amount of data that can be transferred from your site to users' browsers (data transfer), number of email accounts and email forwarding, SSL certificate, and finally a database if you are using a server side creation language (such as ASP). These and other factors will help you decide which business web hosting service is best for you.
