Gigabytes and Bandwidth Are Not Measurements for the Best Web Host
Article Summary: When evaluating the best web host, don’t get bogged down in evaluating the gigabytes and bandwidth of the various hosts. That is not what really matters in your decision about which is the best web host. Do you know what really matters?
All over the Internet, you read ads for web hosting that tout the number of gigabytes of storage and the bandwidth that the particular web host will supply to you. Do you think this is the real measure of what make the best web host?
These are measurements of hardware capacity and can be provided by any web host, good or bad. Web hosts that advertise in this manner are a dime a dozen. Many of them come and go in the Internet business.
Some of these are resellers of web hosting that do not own their own hardware, but resell space on the server of another web host and you do not even know it. You sign on with them, they go out of business, and you are faced with a problem.
Any web host can provide gigabytes and bandwidth since these are necessary for a web site to function on the Internet. However, there are many other services that the best web host should provide.
The best web site host should offer the following services:
1. Fast, reliable hosting
2. Reasonable cost for services provided
3. No initial set up fee
4. Domain registration included in hosting charge
5. Unlimited data transfer
6. Email customer support
7. Telephone customer support
8. Point and click page building
9. Unlimited web pages
10. Tools for brainstorming key words for your site theme
11. Tools for evaluating the supply and demand for your keywords
12. Assistance in building your web pages to make them search engine friendly
13. Uploading your own web pages if desired
14. Automatic submission of each new page or each updated page to the search engines
15. Page templates for your site
16. Customized 404 error pages
17. Automatic creation of Google and Yahoo site maps.
18. Inclusion of a blog site
19. Unlimited email accounts
20. Email forwarding
21. Email domain forwarding
22. Support forum of other users
23. Point and click custom input form creation tool
24. Unlimited autoresponders
25. Ability to upload XML code for RSS pages
26. Link exchange and link builder
27. eZine publishing tool
28. Email marketing list builder/distribution
29. Reports
a. Search engine ranking report
b. Traffic statistics and analysis
c. Click tracking and analysis
d. Keyword search report for search engines
e. Tracking of search engine spiders
30. Any other additional services
You should not expect to receive this level of service for the cheap hosting prices that are advertised on the Net. The low prices are “lost leader” prices to hook you and get you signed up. After you have wasted a year trying to build a successful web site and failed, then you will start looking for the best web host to help you build a successful web site.
Don’t waste that year. Spend the time to find the best web host before you start building your web site.
The-Best-Web-Host.com can help you make the important decision about which web host is the best web host for your new web site.
Good luck on finding the best web host.
