Setting up a website is relatively easy, but to ensure it continues to meet your needs into the future, there are five things you need to consider when choosing a web host.
1. What is the site supposed to do?
Your website’s intended functionality will determine the sort of web hosting package you need. If you want to sell goods, for instance, your website will probably need a database.
2. What will you call the site?
Your web address is important for helping visitors and search engines find your site. Choose carefully!
3. Do you need email addresses?
Make sure your chosen web package allows you to create email addresses for your staff. These days, most staff will need an email address for communicating with customers and suppliers.
4. How much data do you need to store online?
Pictures, videos and even webpages themselves take up disk space. You should try and calculate how much web space you expect to use from the outset and how much you expect it to grow in the future, then choose a web hosting package to match.
5. What about the future?
If your website is a success, you could have thousands of visitors every day. You should choose a web host that allows you to increase your demands (for a fee, naturally) as and when required to ensure your website can cope.
