Domain Name Web Hosting

Domain Name Web Hosting

Are you looking into domain name web hosting but you have no idea where to begin? Don’t even know what web hosting? You just know you need it to get your site up? Well this article is here to answer some of the most basic questions when it comes to getting your own website up and running. After all, no question is a stupid question. So, here goes.

What is web hosting?
Web hosting is when you rent space from a hosting company. That space is then used to virtually store all of the files you will be using on your website, including html, images, or audio and video files. You will be given a certain amount of space, or bandwidth, which you cannot exceed. If you’re running an e-commerce site with aims to become a full-scale operation, you will need a large amount of space.

Can I change hosting companies?
Technically, yes you can, but you need to read the fine print of whatever contract you signed before. If you are getting out of an agreement before you said you would, there could be significant penalties for doing so. People choose to switch companies for a number of reasons, including downtime or lack of technical support. Try to make sure your bases are covered before you enter into any formal agreements.

Do these companies keep backups of my site?
The majority of domain name web hosting companies – the legitimate, reliable ones – will keep a daily backup of your website in case of emergencies. Some companies will only keep a one day’s backup, while others will keep more. Check with the company before you sign up with them. If they do backup your site, it’s one extra security measure to make you feel at ease and let you focus on the other tasks at hand.

What is the difference between virtual and dedicated hosting and which is right for my site?
Most sites are virtually hosted. That means that their site is located on a server that also hosts a number of other sites. Dedicated hosting is when your site is on its own server all by itself. Virtual hosting is less expensive than the alternative, but depending on the size of your site, dedicated might be your best option.

How do I pay for web hosting?
Payment methods generally vary from company to company, although most will accept credit cards and payments made through PayPal. Fewer accept checks or money orders, so make sure beforehand. Also, check with any company before signing up with them as to their payment requirements. Some people get caught in a bind when their hosting company demands two years of payment from them at once and they had only budgeted on paying six months at a time.

These questions have just brushed the surface of all the complexities surrounding domain name web hosting. If you have further questions or want to learn more then visit 1 and 1 Internet.
