Choosing a Hosting Provider!

From the desire to create a website on the Web you went directly to the action? Alredy chosen the theme, domain, found a suitable CMS and have even written a few articles? It remains only to create a website and publish it on the Internet.
From the realization you are only in a step - selection of hosting. Unproperly selected hosting can deliver a lot of trouble, and perhaps losses in the future. As you remember about types of hosting, I already wrote in a previous article What’s Hosting? Types of Hosting.
Before you go directly to the choice of hosting, you need to be clear what would be your future website:
- how many disk space you need;
- the intended audience. If USA, then it is desirable to choose a hosting service on USA servers, closer to home;
- number of visitors - will it be a forum with thousands of people (in the future) or site card with attendance of several people a day;
- will you lay out music and video for downloading .

In the article "What's Hosting?Types of Hosting", we have found that hosting can be paid and free. The second variant we will not take into consideration, because we want to make a profit from the site and free hosting for this is not suitable. Of course there are always those who would oppose this. But is it enough to watch some quality sites with a large audience, all of them are on paid hosting. And, the large and more popular project, the more expensive hosting.

What criteria should I look for when choosing a hosting service?

How to choose a hosting service
1. Price. For majority, this is one of the key indicators when choosing a hosting service. We are just beginning to earn online, opted for a virtual server, as the most accessible. 2-3 $ you get a minimum set of services, which, however, is quite sufficient for the maintenance of a website.
2. In second place for me is technical support. It would seem that this item can be placed last, because there are far more important indicators that affect the work of the site. But the professionalism, the adequacy and speed of response are equally important.
When you want to evaluate the support, the first what you should pay attention for is time schedule. It is desirable 24/7. Imagine a situation where on a Friday evening site falls, and you can contact the technical support only on Monday. As a minimum, it is unpleasant. If the site started to make a profit, during these two days losses are possible.
The second point - the speed and quality of responses. It is unlikely that you will like to wait for answers for a few days. Therefore please check: how adequate and professional is customer support. It is simple enough. Prepare a list of questions to your future hosting provider and send them to e-mail. It is possible to judge the quality of technical support, on how quickly the answer will come, and how complete will it be.
3. Technology. For a simple static site on html the choice of hosting is not a big deal. Almost any variant with a minimum set of functions will fit. But for perspective, and dynamic website created on CMS a support of PHP, Perl, MySQL, FTP, CGI, ASP will be required.
Pay attention to your operating system. They differ in the programming languages supported. The most popular are Windows and Linux.
4. The amount of disk space - is the amount of disk space that is allocated for your site. It ranges from a few hundred megabytes to tens of gigabytes. How much you need depends on the type of project. For information resources, and blogs are usually fits the minimum amount. But it is better to take a margin.
5. Control panel will definitely required for beginners, allowing even unexrperienced user to manage the site, create subdomains, mailboxes, new users, etc.
6. If in future you plan to create more sites, find out the maximum number of websites you can create on one account.
7. Traffic. It is unlikely that you will be able to assess in advance it for a future project, so it is advisable to choose a hosting with unlimited traffic.
8. Quite an important is UpTime (uptime) - uptime work of server within a certain period of time. It is clear that it can not be equal to 100%, but should aspire to. We do not want our site be unavailable from time to time. As normal value is considered if it's above 99%.
9. Permitted load. What is a server? It is a regular computer that hosts a certain number of sites. You allocated space for the physical layout of the site and part of the server resources when you buy hosting. If the project will create the more load on server as permitted, you may be asked to move to a more expensive service package, or change the hosting. So you should choose a hosting service, where the permitted load is more.
10. Assess the appearance of the site. Serious hosting company well be able to take care of quality design. Note the presence of contacts, they must be placed on your site.
So, you have chosen hosting that meets your requirements. But do not rush immediately to pay for it. First, it will be usefil to read user reviews. You can use the search for it.
Don't be satisfied with only two reviews. It may just be advertising company, find as many reviews as possible, analyze them and only then make the final decision.
Also, a given host can have a test period during which you can place your site absolutely for free. After this period, if you are satisfied, you can pay for the service.

Here you can find trusted hosting for an affordable price.

P. S. If you have any problems with the functioning of the equipment or operation of databases, you may need to seek a specialist who deals with maintenance of servers.

What's Hosting?Types of Hosting.

If you decide to create a website, the first thing you need to do - is to choose a domain name and hosting. What is a domain we have already discussed in previous articles. That's why today we'll see, what exactly is hosting and what are the types of hosting.

What is hosting?
So, you chose the theme future of the site, wrote the first article, make them out nicely, and illustrated with photographs. Now we want to put these materials on the Internet to be accessible to all users. For this purpose you need hosting - a service for the provision of resources (disk space) for the physical placement of information on the server.
Internet company that provides hosting services, called the "hoster" , hosting company or hosting provider.
All information hosting providers stored on servers - they are powerful computers with special software, with a permanent high-speed Internet connection. In order to provide access to your site 24 hours 7 days a week, they should always be included.
When you order web hosting, hosting companies allocate you on your server of the disk space provided by your service plan. This directory (secured with login and password) will contain your site.
In order to upload your files to the hosting service you will need a special program in FTP client.

Types of hosting.
Hosting can be free and paid.

Dignity in a free hosting id one - it is free. But there are many disadvantages:
- hosting provider will place adverticement;
- hosting provider hosts your website, but offers no guarantee of quality;
- speed is slower than on paid;
- limited opportunities (eg, no PHP or MySQL);
- you will get the domain name of the 3rd level, which is owned by hosting provider and in case of changing hosting you will need to change it.

Paid hosting involves a monthly fee for services rendered. And the sum depends on the amount of disk space, the maximum number of sites that support multiple functions and quality of services.

We can distinguish the following types of hosting.
1. Virtual hosting. This is the most affordable and common form of hosting, it is a server that hosts multiple sites. All users have equal opportunities, limited installed software. For each site, create a virtual server where you store files and folders. Hosting is ideal for small and medium-sized sites. By cons include the restriction of the permissible load on the server.
2. Virtual Dedicated Server (VPS) - the disk space on a server with a stand-alone operating system and fixed resources. It means that, other sites will not be able to use the resources allocated to you. You get the opportunity to administer their own virtual server and install and configure the required programs. But, it requires skills of system administrator.
3. Dedicated server. At your disposal is transferred the entire server. You can install any operating system, software, configure everything to run only your own tasks. Hosting provider will deal only with server maintenance. This hosting is used for large projects with high requirements.
4. Colocation - placing your own server at the datacenter of hosting company.

Next Step Is Choosing Domain Name

What Is Domain Name?

Domain (domain area) - a hierarchical system of domain names on the Internet, which has a unique name.
Domain name - the unique name you choose for your website. It can consist of Latin letters, numbers, dashes and dots.
Domain zones can can be of several levels (1,2,3, etc.). First-level domains do not have the name and address just a point (. Com,. Ru).
It can't be registered.Decision to introduce a level domains takes a special international organization ICANN.

Domain zone is divided into three groups:
1. Common use:
. com - commercial organizations;
. net - organizations working with the Internet;
. info - Information Resources;
. biz - business organization;
. org - nonprofit organizations;
. tv - television studios, television companies;
. name - individuals.
2. National:
. ru - Russian domain zone;
. us - United States;
. fr - France.
3. Special:
. mil - military organization;
. edu - educational institutions;
. gov - government agencies.

Second-level domain - this is the site's name before the dot. For example, casualty.us :
. us - indicates that the site is in the domain zone of USA;
casualty - second-level domain.
A domain name can be registered by anyone. The choice of the domain zone is determined by the intended audience. That is, if you plan to promote your site in USA, then it is desirable to register a domain name in the zone. us.
If you have a second-level domain, you can create an unlimited number of third level domain names, the so-called sub-domains. For example, I can open a forum on this blog and call it forum.casualty.us or ranking of blogs with the name rb.casualty.us. In this case, the forum. and rb. are third level domains. As we can see from the examples, each domain nameconsists of domains separated by a point and arranged in reverse order: last is first level domain, in front of him - second, etc., thus form a hierarchical system of domain addressing, DNS (domain name system).

Domain names in the form to which we are accustomed to, are created only for the convenience of users. Because the addressing of nodes on the Internet is performed by IP-address, which is difficult to rememeber. It consists of four segments, each of them - these are numbers from 0 to 255. For example: 213.180.194.129. In order to link the IP-addresses and domain names, there are special correspondence tables, which are called servers, DNS. In the settings of your computer to be recorded at least one such server. When you type in the address bar of your browser site address, the computer accesses the server DNS. If he does not know your preferred IP-address, he turned to the nearest server, and so on, until the IP will not be transferred to you and to your computer.
