Choosing a Web Host

 

This interesting document might help you in making an informed decision when choosing a Web Hosting company to host your website.

In today's online marketplace, choosing a Web Host is one of the most difficult and important decisions facing owners of small to medium-sized businesses. With thousands of choices available, what criteria and methods are you using to research and select the right provider ??

Since we know that your website is probably one of the most valuable assets of your business, we trust that you'll benefit from this information.

Boris Mordkovich, the publisher of Search Marketing Standard Magazine, wrote the document.

 

 

Note

 

Certain prices are subject to currency fluctuations and may change without notice. Prices are also subject to Compu & IT Solutions' annual price adjustment;

When the monthly traffic and server space exceeds the maximum limit on your particular package, it is advised that you migrate to a solution that provides more bandwidth and disk space.

Apart from a web hosting account, you'll also need :

  • access to the Internet to upload and view your website


  • website development tool such as Dreamweaver or Microsoft FrontPage to design your website


  • a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program such as Cute FTP or FileZilla to upload your files to the web server (Dreamweaver can also be used for this part).

 

Alternatively, you can ask a website development company (such as Compu & IT Solutions) to design your website for you.
