Don't let the downtime be a fact for your business!!!

Hi Guys!

I'm really very happy to see the response my blog is getting. People are asking me about the best web hosting companies one should turn to. Well! I think this depends on your specific business needs coz there is no dearth of good service providers.....Oh! This just came to my mind.... Why not to make this today's topic of discussion and let me take you through the things that will help you to choose the best web hosting provider for your company:

1)
Before starting your search for the top web hosting provider, it will be good to first know the actual meaning of a good web host. What say? The web host is really a service provider who your website ( the tool of your online presence) on a server connecting to the Internet. Thus, when you think about finding the best web hosting company, ensure that its server runs fast and that the provider offers near total uptime since you don’t want your website to be inaccessible because of the bad server. Shud I move ahead? I think you are saying yes.... At times, its better to assume yourself. :-)

2)
Nowadays, you will find a multitude of web hosting companies boasting to have been offering standardized like the ability to handle or provide the best customer support either through phone, email or through the web. Cummon! When everyone will offer the same, why will you need to look oit for the unique one. So, think about out of the box features. Choose the one that offers you all managed services and hosting solutions under single roof. Ask about their list of services and see ;if they suit your requirements or not. If you guys wanna my suggestion, I'm the biggest fan of NaviSite Inc. It has got everything. Still, you can always shop around.

3)
Here comes the price. Choose the one which offers you the most competitive price but never compromise on the quality of services. Also, base your decision on popularity which can be judged by looking at awards won by that particular web hosting company, good web hosting reviews about it and whether it gets a lot of traffic or not. Next, you should look at reliability factor.

4) Since your business needs to be up all the time, always look out for 24x7 support. As such, its common with all the web hosting provider. Still check out whether you can depend on them. If you need 24-hour technical support that larger companies need then expect to pay substantially more.

That's all for today. Hope my readers will find out their answers to how to choose best web hosting and managed hosting companies from my post.

God Bless All.
