How to Choose a Web Hosting Provider for High-Traffic Sites

admin — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 18:29:05 +0000

Choosing a web hosting provider is never an easy task because, there are several things that we need to verify or consider before such signing up with a hosting plan. Among the basic features that we consider are the following:

Good Price

Although many people believe that saying “good price” is synonymous with “cheap” really is not. Looking for a good price means the cost of hosting is proportional to all services or applications available, the server type and quality. Especially, is your website receives tons of visitors, probably you can not expect a shared server with other users cost the same or less than a dedicated server or a virtual private servers, but at least you can expect them to have a fair price to go according to your requirements.

Excellent Quality

Quality is the set of intangible characteristics that a product has and becomes a plus in any purchase. In this case, we must be willing to pay if you want quality website hosting service, such as personalized attention and prompt, you have 365 working days a year for 24 hours a day. Even if you are looking for a good web design for your website, this also must include a cost that ensures the quality looks.

Warranty

Check that the hosting company what promises to meet, get one that interests you and that has quality control is put to the test, if they really solve the problem without delay and fights.

Customer Service

Make a list of web hosting providers to hire and automatically rule out that lack of customer service online, phone and by email (tickets). Many can only contact them by phone, when it is best to take you by the hand to solve the problem through the Internet.

Applications and Tools

Check that they have all the necessary tools required to make your site able to have a lot of traffic and services for its visitors. Services such as Fantastico, SimpleScript, among others can facilitate transactions on the page and you can have – in addition to the site – a blog, a forum, guestbook, form, shopping, etc.. Because, in this competitive world you need to be fast and more potential to attract customers.

In my opinion, if you expect all these quality things included in one pack, dedicated server web hosting is the way to go.

4 Symptoms That Could Require A Dedicated Server

admin — Fri, 28 May 2010 16:02:51 +0000

We gather here some factors that can influence the purchase decision (or rent) the dedicated servers. The main “symptoms” of this need are:

Your website has become so popular that its traffic is beginning to “weigh” on your current server. If you want to control this situation, and always provide the best possible performance to its customers, a dedicated server is the best we can do for your business online.

You want a website that is the most professional and attractive to potential customers. A major problem that can cause those who visit your website is having a design or look unprofessional and be slow in loading their pages. If your client does not feel confident to navigate through your website or if you have to wait forever to load pages, images and flash animations, it is very likely not be able to sell your product. It is also very likely that the same customer will end up with your competition.

Your website needs improvements in hardware or software, such as disk space, bandwidth, specific programs to support your business, etc.. The dedicated server will make these changes at your own pace and manner that best serve their needs.

Need a website with exceptional security measures such as private development projects, using technology more evolved, or even more advanced ecommerce systems than those provided by your current company. Your customers may also require premium features that can not be met without the presence of a server itself.

In general not all can use a dedicated hosting due to its relatively high cost. However, you must have an understanding that this type of solution is the most advanced, it may provide a better experience for its visitors both at the performance but also the level of security and personalization.

We have noticed that most of the large and well established websites have a dedicated IP address assigned. Dedicated IP simply means that your website is the only one on the Internet which is using that individual IP address.

Lets get understand with an example, if you type 66.249.81.104 in your web browser’s address bar you would notice that its Google website showing up. This is their unique IP address which is not used by anyone else. This is their dedicated IP address on the world wide web that has been assigned to the domain name google.com

Without a dedicated IP address, you will not even get an SSL certificate for your website. You can’t do this by using a PayPal shopping cart as it will not be safe for transactions.

Dedicated IP also plays an important role in search engine optimization of your website. Most of the webmasters have noticed that having a dedicated IP works really well in the search engine results compare to the websites having a shared IP address. Most of the times security concerns makes webmasters to upgrade their hosting account to assign a dedicated IP address.
