How to choose a good web hosting for the site? What are the parameters of different web hosts depending on the server? What hosting is right for your content management system or a blog? The answers to these and many other questions you will find in my article.
Hello dear users of the blog, today I want to share with you our experience in the question - how to choose web hosting for your blog or site?
I myself work in a network the Internet with 2007, and for this time I have tried several hosting for sites.
The choice of web hosting for the site - this is one of the most important steps, after selecting the domain name and the subject matter for your project, therefore, to treat it carefully and, of course, very seriously. Because constantly working hosting - guarantee of your successful development of the site.
When choosing hosting - need to decide what exactly the parameters of the hosting services you need. If you have a simple HTML site (a site, consisting of simple html pages), you will in most cases you can use any minimum rate of hosting.
If you are using any engine (content management system) for the site, then you most likely will need support hosting PHP and MySQL.
If you choose the hosting among the paid and free. I choose only paid hosting. Free hosting can be used for training, for example, can practice in setting up a site, a domain, etc.
As for myself, I long ago came to the conclusion - a good hosting may not be the cheapest.
During the work in the network, I have learned one important rule is not to store all of the sites on one server. What would be a good and stable hosting you were not always need to have a fallback option. Especially many have seen this on the background of the problems with Hosting.ua (when burned the whole floor with the equipment) and Mchost.ru (for a few days people have lost access to the sites and data).
Find yourself some good хостинов and put there their sites. When choosing tariff give preference so that would at any time be ready to transfer the old site to your account.
The main thing is to learn at once - the ideal hosting does not happen! Your opinion about hosting can change at any moment: the technical work on the side of the hosting, rudeness or illiteracy of the technical support, etc. To this must be treated as smoothly as possible and not to panic - everywhere is the human factor, and there are a hardware failure (the main thing that it happened very rarely).
That is why I recommend you pay for hosting monthly.
As do I, when I need a new hosting for the site:
Ask friends and acquaintances I webmasters, what hosting they use.
I read reviews about different hosting companies. This can be done by specialized sites.
When choosing a hosting provider for a specific engine (while I was working only with DLE, Drupal and Wordpress) you can search in the sections dedicated to hosting on the forums technical support of the engines. There you will learn hosting specially tuned for your engine (so I found hosting for our blog).
On the basis of these data, I usually choose several web hosting companies. Then before I sit down to write letters to each host (I draw particular attention upon the existence of various forms of contacts with the hoster, must be the address, phone, email, feedback form, it is also desirable that the contacts of icq and skype numbers, online technical support /live support - in general, everything should indicate that this is a serious hosting company, ready to cooperate).
The contents of the letter can be any (just clarify any interesting I have a question, for example: does the technical support around the clock? What is the period of free trial period?)
For me the most important thing, to get an answer. How fast do I get an answer, and how competent the form it will be made, will depend exactly on it, I choose I the hosting or not.
Finally, I want to tell the services, any of the hosting company I am currently using.
For the last year I have found for myself a few options hostings, which services I use. Let me list them.
Hosting for Drupal sites
It-patrol.ru (24 hour support via the ticket system, convenient control panel web hosting services, human attitude to customers) - hosting specially tuned for drupal sites. Our blog Freegold.ru for almost a year now running on this server, are not going to change)
Hosting for DLE sites
As well I have a few well-visited sites on the Dle. For sites on DLE I use proven me hosting Timeweb.ru (24-hour support by ICQ/Im very convenient control panel web hosting services, in the panel also has information on the load of your site on the server, check the do not bite).
Hosting for Wordpress sites
The engine I am only learning. I have a site on Wordpress, is located on a hosting from Dataworker.net (24-hour support in the chat room, own control panel, reasonable prices).
Good luck to you in finding a good and quality web hosting for your site or blog.
