JOYFUL YEAR 2009 AHEAD.

It has been long since have written the last post and was excessively tied with
something else to update on the matter. However, am pleased to do so in the interests of user / newbies to have a look at it. And thank you for your having
gone through this update.

Internet Connection and its Reliability:

The FAST internet connection with most reliable up time of the server is of prime importance of having a best Web Hosting service provider. The service provider having optical carrier lines of 155 megabits/per second or above instead of T1 or
T3 lines can provide up to 99%server up time, without any breakdown interruptions.
Such infrastructures demands huge investments on the set up with compatible performance servers; high speed multiple backbones providers with fail-over redundancy; backup power generators and firewall software protection in place to ensure they meet the up time guarantee specified in the terms of service.

Besides, in line with above, you should choose a web hosting service with hardware facilities that designed for scalability, so that they can grow with your business. For example, if you need to increase more disk space, bandwidth or number of mySQL databases, you should be able to upgrade as needed without any problems.

Customer service and support

Having above in place is just not enough, it has to have more than adequate Customer Service support on 24x7 basis including that on technical aspects of Web hosting. It should be in a position to offer all kinds of support in order YOU to have interruption free service to your customers. Further, in case of a major break down a provider must resolve issue in down time of less than 24hours. OR reasonable amount of time frame depending upon the problem encountered by YOU.

YOU may also want to consider to test how responsive is their customer support by sending few inquiry emails to the web hosting provider. In general, any response in less than 24 hours is considered acceptable. It is a sign of poor customer support if they take more than one day to response.

In addition, a web hosting provider with excellent support should also provide multiple support channels, such as toll-free phone support, 24/7 email support, live chat, online knowledge base, Interactive flash tutorials and FAQ.

Above are few major considerations before you choose your web hosting service. In addition, how long has the web hosting provider in business and the number of customers that they currently have are also a good indication of the quality of their hosting products as well as the stability of the company. Even though cost of the web hosting service is also important but it should not be your major consideration. Because the price of a web hosting service has been declining over the years due to competition, as a result, the price of most of the web hosting services offering quality hosting features has been converging to less than US$10 per month. If you can't afford less than $10 per month, you probably isn't in the online business for the long haul. Therefore, price should not be a major deciding factor.

While, on the other hand, it is more important to ensure the web hosting service that you choose is able to meet your website hosting requirements, guarantee your website is always accessible with satisfying speed, provide scalability to grow and expand your website as well as offer excellent customer supports.
