Five Important ways to Find the Right Web Hosting Plan:-
1.Programming Languages
2.Data Transfer
3.Cost
4.Disk Space/Storage
5.Support.
1. To help ones website function properly programming languages for example ASP, PHP, Perl/CGI, JSP and ColdFusion are being used to create a lot of popular scripts (software). Now Supposing, One has found a script that is written in PHP and he wants to use that on a new domain name he bought recently. In such a case, one will want to make sure that the web hosting plan supports PHP. Also always make sure that the web hosting plan one chooses offers some type of ecommerce solution such as a shopping cart, so that if at any time one plans on selling services or products from ones website he can do it.
2. Monthly amount of outward-bound non-email traffic from ones web site that is allowed by a web hosting plan is termed as Data Transfer. Every time a viewer views one of the pages, all the files that are used to generate the page are calculated into ones data transfer. For example, let’s say a visitor views a page that has 50 Kilobytes of text and 200 images at 100 Kilobytes apiece. This page view would use .0191212 Gigabytes of data transfer *{50 Kilobytes + (200 x 100 Kilobytes) = 20050 Kilobytes = 19.58008 Megabytes = .0191212 Gigabytes}. Monthly data transfer allowances are listed in Gigabytes by most of the web hosting plans. Use these calculators. To calculate ones expected monthly data transfer and convert it into Gigabytes.
*1,024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
1,024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
1,024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
3. If one wants to find a web hosting plan that can fit into ones budget and does not have to sacrifice on disk space and data transfer. Cost is an extremely important factor. If one wants to grow large on one plan, one can upgrade to another that offers more disk space and data transfer as many web hosts have more than one plan.
4. The amount of space given by a web hosting plan for ones web site’s pages, images, and any additional files is referred as Disk Space/Storage. When determining the total number of files one will be using for ones website and their sizes one should take this into consideration. Now supposing, among the files on has 100 images which are 50 Kilobytes each in size. This would use up 4.88281 Megabytes of ones storage *(100 x 50 Kilobytes = 5000 Kilobytes = 4.88281 Megabytes). One will require a lot of disk space if one is planning on creating a website with a lot of video or audio files. Here based on the calculation given one can calculate the disk space one will want for ones website.
5. While choosing a web hosting plan Support is in fact very important. Whether by phone, chat or email one should check to see if the web host offers “24 hours a day / 7 days a week” support.
