General rule of thumb is not to sign up for
yearly web hosting plans. Instead, get
monthly plan where you can unsubscribe from
on the second month when you are not happy
with the service. That is, if you ended up
with an unreliable web hosting company in
the first place.
Here is a simple guide that can be easily
applied to typical web sites:
--Web Space--
Expect a small website to take up 10 and 100
MB. Considering that you may want to expand
your website in the near future, it is
advisable to get a web hosting plan with
ample web space.
Make sure that you know your needs before
you start looking for your web host. Not
every web hosting plan can be upgraded or
customised. More than often, webmasters do
not get the features they need and are not
able to customise their web hosting
features.
--Monthly Traffic--
Data transfer per month are typically
referred to as bandwidth. It is the amount
of data transfer that occurs between your
website and visitors. A small or medium web
site will consume between 1 and 5GB of data
transfer per month. Larger, commercial or
popular websites often consume more than 5GB
of monthly data transfer and sometimes,
exceeding 100GB of monthly data transfer.
Before you decide on a web hosting plan, be
sure to check this:
- What is the monthly data transfer/
bandwidth allowed?
- Will you be charged if your website
exceeds its limit?
- Are you able to upgrade/add on your
bandwidth?
--Connection Speed--
Visitors to your web site will often connect
via 56K modems or ADSL modems but your web
host provider should have a much faster
connection. Your website should have high
web site connections that are approximately
1000 high speed (56 Kilobytes per second)
modems combined- T3 fiber optic connections.
In the early days of the Internet, T1-
connections was considered a fast
connection. The fastest connections
available are T3 connections that are used
by Internet Service Providers and major
corps.
