Too Much Hosting Choice?

Today’s Internet is flooded with Hosting Providers offering a wide array of Hosting choices. So who do you choose and what should you look for?

Experience tells us that generally the free providers are not a good choice if you want to host a site that is important to you, as the reliability is usually pretty poor. Though to be fair there are a few decent free providers.

Also avoid offers of “unlimited” space and bandwidth, it is impossible for anyone to provide anything “unlimited”.After all if you actually need that sort of space and bandwidth then you most likely are the owner of Google and you would have your own bank of servers anyway!!!

A domain is your identity online. It separates you from everyone else - once yours, as long as you keep renewing it, no one else may have it.

There are two parts to a domain - the domain name itself, and the TLD (top level domain) extension.

The most popular TLD is the .com extension - it is synonymous with online business. But due to its popularity, getting a good domain name with '.com' is hard - most have been bought and are not available.

Most TLDs have a meaning behind them - .EDUs are used by educational institutes, and .ORGs are supposed to be used by non-profit organizations. A domain with a TLD of 'co.uk' is very likely British-based. There are other TLDs too, such as .cc, .tv, and .tk. These are all associated with either a company or with a country.

Many hosts will register a domain for you if you do not have one (it must be available though). You need to be careful that the domain is registered in your name and not theirs. Also make sure that they are not overcharging - some hosts charge over twice the average.

The web hosting industry serves arguably the most loyal customers in the entire business world. Whether the host is bad, too expensive and simply doesn’t cut it, once people have chosen a web host it will take more than plain disappointment to change host.
Little Know-How

This makes even less sense if you keep in mind that web hosting customers are generally very needy. People are launching websites everyday, often without any knowledge in server hosting or the ability to host their own sites. The demand of good service in web hosting should hence be a critical requirement. But still we stick dutifully to our web hosts because in this business of domain re-directs and advanced configure parameters, changing to a new and better host means simply too much hassle.
The hassle of moving your domain

Much of the “hassle” with a web host change is not buying new storage space or enrolling in a new hosting plan. No, what is perceived a problem by many is in fact the domain transfer. Depending on the current web host the process of bringing your registered domain name with you can be either very hard or done by 2-3 mouse clicks. Unfortunately, if you’re stuck with a bad web host they might be less than happy to help you move, declining to offer any assistance at all.

Furthermore, hosting plans can have the right to hold your domain on their server for several months before allowing it to moved. An example is the blog host Blogger that does not allow registered domains to be moved to another host within 6 months after registration.
