Web Site Hosting and Registration

Selecting the right hosting company can make or break your new Internet Business
It is important that your site is up and running 24 hours a week. Some hosting companys have poor quality server that may cause your site to be offline occasionally. This not only can cause you to lose potential customers but can also get you unlisted with some search engines. It is important that you look into what other people say about your choice of host companys.

Most reliable hosting companys offer domain name registration as part of the hosting packages. Prices vary greatly across the internet, and the best service does not necessarily cost more.

Support
There will be occasions throughout the life of your business that you will need some questions answered. Hopefully if you choose the right host it will not be a problem from their end. Make sure that the host provides you with 24/7 support service. Call them up and see how easy it is to talk with a live person. If you call a company and get put onto a computer answering service for 30 minutes then you should avoid using them.

Server Space
An average web page is 25k to 50k in file size. Photos and graphics need for the pages will range in file size from 1k to 25k. This means that if you have a 10 to 15 page website with 2 to 5 graphics on each page, will require 120K to about 3MB. If you are going to host a site like we have at http://t456.com/collectibles with more than 3,000 items with picture and enlargements you will need around 150meg. Ipowerweb hosting offers 800 meg with their basic packages. More than most companies could ever use.

Bandwidth
This is the amount of traffic allowed to your site at one time. Each person viewing your site requires communication with you host server. Most hosting companies put some limits on this to prevent overloading their capabilities to serve their customers.

Secure Server
You will nee to this if you are going to do online credit card processing. If you like the big names you could not go wrong if you used Yahoo. The have special packages set up just for small business that includes credit card processing.

FTP Accounts
Most hosts now have built in software that will allow you to upload files to your site. But if you will be doing a lot of upload you will need FTP "File Transfer Protocol" access. This will allow you to view your site like any other folder on your computer. If you are connected via FTP you can just move files from your computer directly onto the site.

POP E-mail Accounts
With a business you are going to need more than one e-mail account. We presently use 7 major accounts here at American TradUR Company to serve our different customers need. We use one just to handle purchases, customer correspondence, personal account, web design and another for submitting our site to search engines and so on.

Server Installed Programs
If you will be needing a shopping cart, chat rooms, forums and other interactive software for your site it is important to see what your host already has setup. All of this and much comes with your site at Ipowerweb. With a few clicks of your mouse you can have them active and it is as simple as adding them to your site navigation.

CGI-bin access
If you want to run your own programs on your website from the server, you must have CGI access. Your CGI capabilities should allow you to read, write and execute programs and script on the server.
