Are you considering your web hosting needs
for this year? Do you plan to search and buy a web hosting
package from some specific company? Then it's a great time for
you to review the following tips! By following these simple
directions, you can not only save money, but also ensure that
your website is served and maintained by the proper hosting
provider.
1) Choose an annual hosting plan - If you are
happy with your hosting provider, consider moving to an annual
payment basis. By doing this, you can benefit from the monthly
discount. If you are looking to transfer to a new web host,
you might also wish to consider an annual plan as they often
come with no set-up fee.
2) The economy is back and
online traffic is growing again. Is your company website ready
for an increase in traffic? With monthly fees for dedicated
servers coming down rapidly over the past year, your business
may wish to consider moving to a dedicated environment which
will offer more capacity for servicing your online customers.
At least be sure that your current plan has adequate bandwidth
allowances.
3) Check out your Hosting Service
Agreements. These agreements contain the "legal terms" of your
hosting contract and may be changed from time to time.
Starting a new hosting period with your current hosting
provider, is a good time to review the latest documents
surrounding the relationship between you and your web
host.
4) Many companies are now providing technical
support and service follow-up online. You can register a
support domain for yours too. Think about registering some of
the new top levels domains including .info and .biz - these
can be useful in driving more traffic to your
website.
5) Watch for software upgrades! Each year,
many providers of web design and server software launch new
versions. Make sure your hosting provider is using the latest
design software to maximize your site visitor's experiences.
Also, by checking to see if your provider has the latest
server versions, you can verify their technical knowledge and
ensure maximum website uptime.
By following these
simple tips, your business can maximize it's online presence
by ensuring a stable hosting environment while gaining better
knowledge about your web host. | |
