Personal Web Hosting 101

Personal web host, like any other type of web hosting covers a number of basic rules. The only difference between a web hosting business and personal web hosting may be the arrangements for payment as the secure server for credit card payment. Apart from that, the list remains the same as the web hosting business.

The list below will guide you in choosing the right host:

1. How long does it take for the domain to be put on the net? Should be less than 36 hours.

2. “I can accommodate other sites through my domain? It should be possible for you to use the alias domains, always leading to the main page of your domain.

3. Am I the owner of the domain name hosted? The answer must be yes, without other conditions.

4. Is it possible for me to update my website / domain? All rights to its domain, ie, billing, technical, administrative, etc., should be given to you. And yes, the web host should be able to update the information in your website to your order.

5. “I can modify my site? The answer should be, basically, yes, but some websites will ask you to change the path through them. This could be a drawback for those who can do it themselves and have a lot of renovation to do.

6. What is the protocol for establishing directory permissions html? Most web hosts will allow you to use control panel to set the permissions and modify your web design.

7. How I can get use webmail via my domain? Most web hosts have email accounts squirrel in their packages. With this setup also comes from the transmission of electronic mail and auto-responders.

8. “I can access my CGI and Perl scripts? The answer must be yes.

9. Do you have quick and effective technical support and service support? The answer must be yes, around the clock 24 / 7.

10. Do you use advanced search tools above engine optimization meta tag? The answer should be YES again. Today’s servers use sophisticated SEO tools. However, you should have your ‘keyword’ and ‘meta description’ connected to your main page content easily accessible on the website.

Other factors include the payment and billing information, call space traffic bandwidth and the disk or storage space. You should be expecting an annual turnover in addition to a monthly billing. Web hosting companies offer an annual turnover of a discount rate, and some say you should be careful to prevent packets from a period of one year, as this blocks their movement if they are not happy with the service web hosting. This is not always true because, in the current competition between web hosting companies, many insurance companies offer 30-90 day money back guarantee if not satisfied.

As the area of traffic or the minimum bandwidth that should be somewhere around 25 GB / month, while for the storage of a simple personal website, the storage requirements must be at least 500 MB of space disk. I would consider 1 GB or more of disk space to avoid additional charges if the required space is larger in the future. But it all depends on how good and how big of files put up on its website. Therefore, do not go after web hosts that offer 15 GB or more of disk space for extra fees because they never would need much space. Even with the complicated business websites that are not used more than 10 GB.

It is best to investigate the feedback of web hosting before deciding which to choose, and finally the questions above will guide you to a wise decision.
