What you need to consider shared web hosting
Shared hosting refers to a web hosting environment where many websites reside on a web server. You as a customer shared server with other clients. Usually it is about 100 to 400 accounts on one server.
So, what to consider before you buy shared web hosting plan?
Windows or Linux Web Hosting
Linux hosting means that all files needed by your site stored in Linux and Windows webhosting server OS stored in the Windows Server OS. In the old days, only websites html files and pictures. It does not matter weather or Windows to Linux to build website only contains HTML files and photos. Just set up right, so all html files, pictures and your site is ready.
Now the site is more complex, contains CSS, databases and scripting languages. CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) is the way stylist your web appearance. Database such as MySQL and MSSQL is used for data, such as items to store customer information, site statistics, etc. How to give them access to and display of your browser Script language.
Script Language
A set of codes running on the server for access to server resources, such as database and other files and then explained in HTML language so you can see via web browser like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera or Safari and some of them sometimes hidden statistical or other purposes. There are PHP, ASP, ASP.Net, etc.
PHP is more often due to the open source and run on both Linux and Windows. PHP runs even better on Windows platform. ASP and ASP.net only run on Windows web hosting platform. If you plan to learn the scripting language, so choose which suits you more. None of them superior than others.
Database
The most free CMS (Content Management System) like Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, written in PHP and database need to store the content. You must choose web hosting plan database support like MySQL. We recommend choosing web hosting plan accepted by more than one database (ex. five or ten). Who knows you should try out a number of different databases?
If you just want to set up a blog, but is one of the free CMS called earlier, you probably stay with Linux and MySQL.
Disk Space and Traffic
Disk space or storage or web space is the amount of data or files that you can store on the hard disk of the webserver. Some web hosting offering 10 GB and a 100 + GB to store your files. Select webhost plan that allowed 1 GB of storage is more than enough if you just start a blog.
Traffic / Transfer, the permitted amount of data traffic (upload and download) per Mon If your website has 1000 visitors per month and in average they see 10 pages of your site and say a page about 60KB in size, then the traffic 1000×10x60KB that are 600MB traffic per Mon Ten times would be adequate for you to start a blog to worry about bandwidth.
Unlimited Storage and unlimited traffic?
The term unlimited Normally when meeting with the unlimited Web hosting company time. Read their Term of Service; probably their unrestricted consider term limits to you. Often files that are not directly related to web pages are not considering this term.
It does not mean that the hosting company the unlimited plan will not provide a good service sells. Some even gave a high quality service to their customers. Let simplified things. If your web traffic really high in time, better move to a higher quality web hosting plan or dedicated VPS plan that gives you better speed response when visitors open your site.
Web server performance
Linux web server is well known that hundreds of jobs that can run simultaneously with stability. But it does not mean that Windows Web Server is bad. The correct term would be like this, Linux can max out server capacity, but windows can not. So maybe do webhost: 400 shared hosting account as the use of Linux and shared 350 hosting account when Windows platform.
Price and support
Windows web hosting is usually more expensive than basic Linux, because Windows is not free and the company must pay the license (so you have to pay the license in small part). Linux is free and open source, so the Web hosting company calculate ussually cheaper than Windows platform. This condition somewhat untrue on some web host. Some costs you the same price, whether you choose Linux or Windows.
Much of the reputation of your web host will you choose expensive or Linux or Windows. This is because the company policy on setting the price considering their service satisfaction guarantee. Like changing the server as a problem has occurred, periodic backup that consumes time and personnel, etc. You must remember cheap is not always bad and expensive is not always good. There are many web host there, who sells their service term, but not giving a good support and that many also pretty cheap, but good support sells.
You must realize that web host company is service and satisfaction the customer is not on their side side. Web hosting company is not 100% perfect with no problems and not all customers do not help. So things like support ticket, phone, live chat or forum was very helpful to solve your hosting needs.
Technology
Somewhat the server hundreds of shared accounts each company works harder day. That is why hosting your files saved in that quad-core server processor is "more-assured" then stored in dual-core server processor. Again, if the price account, newer technology web host will probably cost more.
Panel
Control panel is used for your files, domain management, and other tasks related to your website. There are cPanel, Plesk, H-Sprehe, which belongs only to those proprietary Web hosting company, etc. The most famous cPanel. Some of the own interface gives you more, but some we consider bad. Many web hosts give their try-out panel, so why not then.
E Account
You do not have much e-mail accounts, unless your website is running a large company that hundreds of e-mails that the employee also needs. For personal use website, web-mail would be more important than numbers of e-mail account, because you can only access your mail via web browser anywhere.
Registered Company
Some of the web hosting companies to join the BBB (Better Business Bureau) or TRUSTe. Most web host companies that have joined this organization as the logo for recognition usually on their front web page.
The advantage based Web hosting company that already join BBB (for example) you can your symptoms (if you have one) on your website host also BBB. They have also vote for their member with respect to customer satisfaction. Do not take that does not mean that the companies that are not members of BBB services are poor. In fact, even a webhost already joined BBB, and many of their customers are dissatisfied with their service, we found that these customers are not the complaints BBB report.
