Who Needs a good Web Host? (part 1 of 2)
Web hosting can be a confusing thing for a beginner to understand.
Many people have the desire of starting their own online business venture and think that all they need to do is to get a Web Site. They don’t have any idea of what is involved and it comes as a surprise to them when they realize that it’s not just the Web Site design that is important, the Domain Name they choose as well as the Registrar and probably the most important piece of the puzzle the Web Host play a very important role and can literally make the difference between failing or being successful.
While the Web Site Design is important, the Domain Name is equally important and perhaps even more important is the Web Host. Most people just think that they can pick any name that starts with “www.” and they are ready to start their online venture. They fail to realise that they must check two very important features before choosing the right Web Host, the guaranteed “up-times” as well as customer support availability. Up-times should be no less than 99.9% and support 24/7 and 365 Days a year.

While the website design is important, the web host is equally important. You need to pick a web host that has a good track record of server uptime. You must keep in mind that your potential customers will not be able to view your Site if there are server problems.
Have you ever gone to Google or your search engine of choice and typed in a search word or phrase and then click on one of the links returned by your search, but instead of a Site, you get a “Page not found” or “Server Error” or “Page Not available”? When this happens you don’t know if the Site owner is no longer in business, or if the problem is with the Web Host.
You need to be sure you pick a Web Host with sufficient bandwidth and disk space to hold not only your primary domain page, but also any sub-domain pages your Site will have, in addition to enough email accounts to allow you to organise and run your business effectively and as well as allow for future growth.
Bandwidth is the amount of data you can transfer to and from your web server including uploads and downloads. Depending on the size of your web page and the number of visitors, you may need to increase your bandwidth as your website gets more visits.
