If you’re looking for a free web hosting service, you must learn about the 2 basic models just so you know which one fits you best.

Model A – No-Ads Free Web Hosting

This type of free hosting service requires you to register or transfer domain name with them for at least 1 year. Price of new registration or transfer of domain name can cost anywhere from $15 to $35 depending on the “free” hosting service you go with. If you’re smart, you can actually get a domain name for about $10 with a reputable domain registrar instead of paying that “free” hosting provider.

Actually, the up front domain registration or transfer fee already covers the basic hosting features, it’s just that they make it sound as if the hosting plan is free for you. In other words, whether you get a new domain name or transfer your existing domain name to the free hosting service, you have to pay $15 to $35 before you’re entitled to their so-called “free website hosting”.

Model B – Sponsored-ads Free Web Hosting

This is truly a free service for you since you need not register or transfer domain name or whatever. You pay zero fees upon signup. But they’ll dominate the most prominent positions on all your web pages with sponsored ads. They’ll also “do their best” to bombard you with mailers to persuade you to upgrade. That’s one thing for sure.

Having said that, there’s no free lunch. There’s always a catch for the so-called free web hosting. You want no ads, money talks. You want to host at no fee, ads will appear on all your web pages. Simple as that. Here’s my suggestion though. If you’re creating website for personal use without the aim of making money, then model B is what you should go with since reliability and quality are not your prime concern.

However, if you want to build a real moneymaking business, then whichever free hosting service can kill your bottom line. Believe me, I’ve been there, done that.

Personal Web Page Hosting is a way of providing home to your Website on Web servers, which are stored in a secure and controlled environment permanently connected to the Internet so that other people on the internet can view and browse your web site.

If you want to participate in online business, data sharing, information, resource and knowledge gathering and sharing over the World Wide Web (www), you must have your own piece of space on the web to host the information regarding web pages of your web site.

Web Servers

A computer that servers web pages over the internet is called web server. When you enter any URL http://www.top54u.com in your web browser, it sends request to the server whose domain name is top54u.com then server fetches the default/index page of that website and shows it in your browser.

These web hosting servers that store and delivers web pages to the internet cost money to setup, maintain and configure that is why web hosting providers charge some monthly or yearly fees as a rent to host your web site on their web servers.

Cheap web hosting

Some web site hosting providers provide free web hosting but there are many drawbacks of free web hosting:

1. They place ads on your web pages to earn revenue.

2. They offer some costly web packages to offer free web hosting.

3. Free web hosting providers do not bother about client satisfaction and technical support.

4. Some business web hosting providers offer freebies to upgrade to costly web hosting package.

So, forget about free package if you want a quality product and services. You have to do is just find a best rated web hosting.

Generally web hosting is known as storing your web site on a public server. There are number of best web hosting companies providing small business web hosting services. Most often it includes domain name registration, email services and databases.

To obtain web hosting space you have to go through some steps of membership registration, terms and agreement of internet service provider. Once you fulfill all these conditions, you are given all access and authentication to your web space. You can login to your control panel to create your email mailboxes, databases and upload your website so that it can be accessed on the internet.

Anyone who is starting up a website needs three things – an idea, a domain name and a web hosting service. Without the domain name and the hosting service, the idea will never make it onto the internet.

There are two basic choices when you are looking for a web hosting service – shared or dedicated hosting. Once you figure out which of these you need, you can start looking at the various web hosting services available to see which one offers the best plan for you. Almost every hosting service offers shared hosting, but many will not offer dedicated hosting.

So what’s the difference?

Shared web hosting services are what most people need. It is the option most commonly used for personal websites and blogs and any other sites that don’t need much storage space. What you are paying for with these plans is a portion of a server. Imagine a storage facility in which you are renting out one of the rooms. Share hosting services can be purchased for as little as $2/month these days, and the plans vary tremendously from company to company. So it is well worth your while to have a look around.

Dedicated web hosting services are generally used by larger business and company websites. These websites need to be able to store a lot more information, retrieve that information a lot faster and handle a lot more traffic at one time. So instead of just renting out a room in the storage facility, they will rent out the entire building. This also allows them to modify the server with whatever software might be necessary for their specific needs as well as choosing which operating system they want to use – an option that isn’t often available with shared hosting services.

You may find that your website has grown too big for a shared hosting service, but doesn’t quite need dedicated web hosting yet – or maybe you don’t need the extra space at all, but want the extra flexibility a dedicated web hosting service has to offer. If this is the case, you can sign up for a dedicated hosting service and then open up a web hosting service of your own. This means that you will be able to use up as much space on the server as you need and rent out the extra space to other website owners, which will help you pay for the cost of a dedicated server.

Once you have found the hosting service that suits your needs, all you will need is a domain name to get your idea out to the world. Luckily, many of the more reputable web hosting services are now offering free domain names with their plans. Sometimes it is only free for a year, and sometimes it is free for as long as you are using their hosting plans – but either way it is a good way to get started.

web hosting

In the world of Internet today, where everything is sold online now, web presence has become very important for any business now. Therefore, every business has to prepare a website and host it on the web. But, for many of the small-scale entrepreneurs, it is not possible to have their own servers, due to financial problems. That is why, they are compelled to purchase bandwidth and disk storage space from web hosting companies to show their website online.

In detail, if we talk about the meaning of the word web hosting, it is like a provision of online arrangements or a data center for storing images, video, information and any other critical data that can be shown via the web to users including individuals and organizations.

Web hosting services are now offered on a large scale and any Webmaster can easily purchase them as a component of an Internet access service. There are many kinds of web hosting services that one can avail of, but the right choice depends on some critical factors like the need of the Webmaster to have complete control over the site and the data protection required. Also, more factors like the requirement of the operating system, scripting software and the database software come into picture for choosing the right kind of service provider.

The two most common web-hosting services are dedicated and shared server. The latter implies a sharing of the server with many other websites and obviously security concerns are a major issue with this kind of a system. Dedicated server, on the contrary, means a single server for your site but that does not indicate that the Webmaster owns the server, but it still facilitates easier control. Every webmaster who wants to get the site online wants to avail the facilitates of a web hosting service provider, but important factors like the uptime of the provider has to be taken into consideration before making the choice. Uptime basically, means the time for which a server is running, if this time is low, then most of the times the important users will not be able to open your site.  It is one of the most critical decisions of a business and hence, it becomes quite important for any business to scrutinize and compare the uptimes of different providers before opting for one.

Web development essentially is the earlier step before the web hosting comes into picture. It refers to all those activities that are included in the preparation of a site that will be then shown on the intranet. It is a very complicated process including many technical aspects like content development, server configuration, client and server coding and the most important of all, web design.  Web development is indeed a very strategic procedure from the point of view of any company that aims to have a sound online presence. With use of key techniques like search engine optimization and graphical designing of the site, this process needs the talents of prodigal SEO’s, web developers, proofreaders and copywriters.

Processes like web hosting and development have changed the way our websites are portrayed on the net and therefore, they have led to a surge in the popularity of the web as a source of sales.

Imagine doing a search on Google for “web hosting company”, and coming up with around 1,700,000 hits! How can you possibly find the best web hosting plan for your needs among all those? You may look at the prices, thinking: “I will get a good deal by looking for the cheapest web hosting plan”.

Well, not a good idea IMHO. Because of the fierce competition between providers of web hosting services, they often try to cut costs by cutting down on support, and also by vastly overselling hardware and bandwidth resources. The result: poor support and poor reliability. Simply put: your website goes down, and nobody listens to you when you try to tell your hosting company about it.

What you want and need is not a cheap web hosting plan, but a good web hosting plan that fits your budget. Having realized this, you start looking around for advice on good web hosting. Now, chances are you will then stumble upon some web hosting review site, which is happy to tell you that xyz.com is the very best web hosting provider in the world! Fine, you think, now my problem is solved thanks to that piece of valuable information.

Wrong again – most likely. The truth is, that many web hosting companies pay very generous commissions to those who refer new customers to them. It then becomes very tempting to set up a “web hosting reviews” website which is actually nothing but a billboard for the best-paying web hosting services providers, with no regard for their actual merits. And so it goes. I have personally looked over about a hundred of those web hosting reviews’ sites, and in most cases they are just that – billboards. Often, they strongly recommend web hosting companies that are actually known to have a very poor customer reputation. Thus, they are really spreading misinformation and confusion instead of offering good advice.

The only reliable way of telling if a web hosting company is worth doing business with, is to see what their customers are saying about it. Such customer posts can be found here and there on various web sites, but you have to know where to look. A few of those web hosting reviews’ sites does actually collect and post such customer opinions; and you can also find authentic posts by searching on large web hosting forums such as WebHostingTalk.

Needless to say, you should NOT bother with the “customer opinions” posted by the web hosting companies themselves on their own sites. Often, those “reviews” are fabricated, or simply copied from somewhere else.

It took me a while before I realized these things, it was not until I took the time to sift through hundreds of posts from web hosting customers that I finally noticed a pattern. Now I want to share this knowledge with others, to give them a better web hosting experience.

Deciding on a web hosting company can be pretty confusing. If you type ‘web hosting’ in a search engine, you are presented with literally millions of web sites. Some are actual web hosting sites but most are probably ‘review’ sites. There are so many of these review – directory sites because many web hosting companies pay a commission to the site owner if they get a sale from someone that came from that site. But that does not mean that you should disregard review sites as they can still be quite helpful.

Most review sites which claim to list the best web hosting services do not list companies with bad reputations anyways. Bad webhosting companies quickly get a reputation on the net among webmasters; and nothing makes someone think more badly of a web hosting review site more than seeing a known ‘bad’ company with a high rating. Review site owners have to have some credibility to continue making commissions!

Also, web hosting companies that can afford to pay relatively high commissions to review sites usually must be doing well to afford to pay these commissions. Shoe-string type web hosting companies; or ones that are losing a lot of customers, typically cannot pay very high commissions.

But its actually pretty easy to see if a web hosting company really IS one of the best web hosting providers

Look at some review sites and note down the companies which are consistently in the top 10 and offer the features you want and are in your price range. Then bring up a search engine and type in the name of the first web hosting provider on your list as well as the word ‘forums’. This will bring up any mentions of that web hosting company among internet message boards. Unlike review sites, most information on message boards is just people’s honest opinions. Although finding positive posts about the particular web hosting company that you are interested in is the best outcome; it is true as well that ‘no news is good news’. If people are not posting messages about that hosting company…then at least you know they don’t have a bad rep! Because angry or disappointed people like to vent.

After reading through a bunch of these messages, you’ll get a good idea of the reputation the web hosting company has. If you do that for all the companies on your list; you can feel confident that you are in a good position to pick one of the best web hosting services that actually does have a good reputation.
