Understanding web hosting
The term 'web hosting' simply means the hosting of your website. Web hosting comes handy when you seek to have your own web domain and probably a few key email addresses to be built in sync with the website. It is the web host provider who will assist you in the developing of your website and associated email addresses without you having to take the pains.
It is a very critical decision to choose the best web hosting company for the success of your website. Any bad decision of yours can lead to frequent periods downtime and slow speeds of the server. There are various web hosting companies for you to choose from. Each host provider offers different combination of services, such as web space, databases, bandwidth, free scripts and customer support. Amongst those you may find both big and small hosting companies that claim to offer 24x7 customer and technical support these days, but not every one of them do so. So you need to be careful here. Look for a provider that has a reliable and technical support infrastructure inclusive of support functions, such as live support chat, support tickets, telephone support and email support.
