Hosting reaview

1. Know Your Hosting Needs You can never get the right web host without knowing what you need. So before you go any further – put everything aside (including this guide you are reading) and think thoroughly on your own needs. What kind of website are you building? Do you want something common (a WordPress blog, for example)? Do you need Windows applications? Do you need a special version of software (ie. PHP)? Does your website need special software? How big (or small) can the web traffic volume go? These are some of the basic questions you need to answer for yourself. Have a quick picture of what you want to do with your website now. Figure what happens next for the next 12 months. If you are totally new… For newbies, the no-brainer rule is to always start small with a good shared hosting account. A shared hosting account is cheap, easy to maintain, and sufficient for most new sites. Plus, you can always upgrade to VPS or dedicated hosting in the later stage when your site grows bigger.
