After you have decided that
you want to set up your business on the virtual world, i.e. on internet, the
first thing is to decide on setting up a website. For this you have to get
associated with a web hosting company. The web hosting company will help you to
host your new website. However, there are few questions as below which you must
ask to the web hosting companies that you have selected.
1. What is the web hosting space
that will be provided to you? This is required as this is going to determine
how big or small your website will be. If you are planning to create a website
that will grow bigger with time then you should ask for more space. Usually
measured in gigabits, the more gigabits i.e. 1, 10, 100 and so on, the better.
However, care should be taken not to pay for hosting space that you are not
going to use.
2. What is the bandwidth
that they are going to assign you? This is a very important consideration as it
will help you in finding, without paying extra how many people can visit your
website. For this it is important to understand, the amount of traffic that can
be accommodated by the hosting platform without crumbling.
3. Do they provide any
customer support? You need to check if there is any form of customer support
for any grievances. Do they have live support or is the toll free number
provided just for sales and not technical support.
4. In case you decide to use a different web
host at some time in the future, it needs to be found out how easy it is to
come out of the present one. Do they purchase the domain for you or they let
you own your own domain name?
5. Last but not the least,
how much are they going to charge you for the services provided. It needs to be
found out if some other company is providing the same service at less cost.
The answer to the above
question will help you to choose the correct company and get satisfactory
service.
