Choosing A Hosting Service

Your site is going to be stored on a hosting company’s server. (You didn’t want thousands of people dialing into your computer every hour, did you?) Again, there are lots of different options available depending on how much you want to pay and what you need. In general, you’ll want to make sure that you have about 50 megabytes of space (that’s enough for 100 pages!), full statistics reporting and most importantly, 24 hour service. If your site goes down, you’ll be losing money every hour it’s offline. If there’s a problem with the server, you want to make sure it’s fixed right away.
You often get what you pay for with Web hosting from “free” services that will cost you more than you save to $200 a month for dedicated servers. Twenty bucks a month is a reasonable price to pay and Globat and Network
Solutions both offer good programs.
