Selecting a hosting plan
What do you look for when choosing a web host? Do you examine a variety of criteria, look for reviews and personal recommendations, and even scrutinize in great detail the features offered by the prospective web hosts?
What to look for when selecting a web host? Most wed host featured prominently in their list of plans on the amount of disk space and bandwidth your site is allowed. You would want to make sure the host offers a generous allowance of disk space and bandwidth so that a surge of heavy traffic will still cause a CPU and RAM usage spike and hit that limit.
If you are looking for ecommerce hosting, obviously it would have different needs and specific criteria. You would want to test drive the shopping cart software to make sure it’s simple, user friendly and easy to customize but sophisticated enough to accommodate all your needs. Some shopping cart softwares may even have built in feature that allows you to add multiple storefronts and automatic SEO (search engine optimization).
When you plan your website, always look at it in the long term. If your site rarely changes and only has a set number of pages, which is typical if you are only selling a particular product or a service, it may be better off as a static site. As static sites run into the resource limits slower than dynamically created sites.
