Finding the Right Hosting Company

By Jonathan J Waller

Many large online companies have their very own hosts since they bring in so much traffic. This is a costly way to run a website and is not recommended unless you are receiving huge amounts of traffic and profits. Finding an actual hosting company is the route of most, and can be just as efficient as owning your own server. Reliability is also a plus when dealing with an actual hosting company. To keep business, 24 hour 7 days a week support almost always offered which is very handy. This way if you run into any trouble with getting your site online, fast help is offered.

There are many things to consider before choosing what host is for you. These decisions should be based around what service is best for search engine optimization. When you are on your quest for a host make sure they offer these 3 features.

Allows you to upload your own web pages. Some companies offer programs to create pages. These can be very handy for beginners but will not give you the freedom of customizable pages you have full control over.

Allows you to view your page statistics. Many hosting companies offer AW stats but some do not. Either way I recommend using Google Analytics. Although you it is only updated once a day the quality and amount of information it provides is far superior then anything else on the market, and best of all it is 100% free.

Make sure you get your own domain name. If the service forces you to use a sub domain such i.e. "yoursitename.companiessitename.com", this will not help you with SEO. If your site is in this format and backlinking efforts are promoting the companies domain and not yours. You domain name should only be in the format "yoursitename.com".

Make sure you make an educated decision before buying any domain. This will eliminate unneeded stress and potential problems.
