Key Considerations for Choosing an Affordable
Hosting

• Literally hundreds of companies offer web
  hosting, and it can seem like a minefield
  deciding which to go with. Following is a
  discussion of the key points you need to
  understand and consider when choosing an
  affordable hosting.

3
Bandwidth

• Every time a user connects to your website, your
  files are transferred across the internet to the
  user. Bandwidth refers to the number of bytes
  your website is sending across the internet. It
  can be given as a rate per day, month, or year.

• For instance, if the average size of one of your
  web pages is 75KB including images, then if you
  get 100 visitors to your site per month and each
  visitor looks at 10 pages, youll need at least
  75MB of bandwidth per month.

4
Disk Spaces

• Web pages are small files that dont take up much
  storage space, but other files, such as images,
  flash movies, or other video and audio files,
  used on your site may be quite large. So, choose
  a web hosting plan that offers unlimited disk
  space.

• You can check how large your website is by simply
  looking at the size of the folder that it is in.

5
E-Mail Accounts

• You need to consider two factors here the size
  of mail box you are allowed, and the number of
  mailboxes you are given.

• Some hosts provide you unlimited mailboxes but
  set a maximum amount of storage space. Some
  hosting allows you only a few mailboxes, but will
  allow a fixed amount for each mailbox.

6
Uptime Guarantee

• Uptime refers to the percentage of time your web
  server is working and available for people to
  look at your site. You will generally see figures
  such as 99 percent uptime, which means that, on
  average, 99 out of every 100 minutes your site
  will be available.

• But then that also means that your site might be
  down for 1 percent of the time i.e. 87.6 hours
  per year, or four days. So get a host that offers
  at least 99.9 percent uptime guarantee.
