Hosting is one of the important things to be considered for running a website. A lot depends on your hosting and so, you should carefully choose your web host after considering all the important aspects like uptime, customer support, bandwidth and more.

Many people are lured by ‘Free Hosting’ but are these free hosting accounts that great? From experience, the answer is NO! Because the resources are very limited and you cannot expect great service as you’re not paying anything for it. I have tried free hosts in the past and had good experience with some of them but had a bad experience with most of them. Even if you’re a starter and have limited budget, I still recommend you to go for a ‘Paid Hosting’ as paid hosting providers usually offer better services than ‘Free Hosting’ Providers.

Some of the reasons which make me less inclined towards free hosting providers –

• Not Enough Reliability

Since you are not paying anything for the service, you cannot complain them if their service is down for days or even weeks. Free hosting providers are usually less reliable when it comes to uptime and bandwidth usage.

• Poor Customer Support

Again, you’re paying them so you cannot expect them to answer your queries as fast as possible. You can end up in a situation where your website is down and you’ve no clue about the hosting service.

• You might lose some business because of branding

If you’re running a web based business and if you’re using a free hosting then you’re likely to lose some customers as free hosting offer limited resources and you’re not able to make any number of desired changes. Also, if you’re on a sub-domain of a free service then you’ll not be able to turn your visitors into regular customers.

• Paid hosting is affordable

Above all, paid hosting comes at an affordable price. There are a number of web hosting providers that offer great service, uptime and resources at an affordable price. The hosting market is highly competitive which makes even the best hosting providers to offer their great services at an affordable price so as to stay in the business.

So, compare the plans, make a research and decide which host is best for your website.

Recently when browsing the web I came across a new bit of plasma TV related technology, only this time it has nothing to do with the plasma but the way it is displayed. TDK Joinery (A UK Company) has combined both the revolution of flat screen TVs with everyday furniture and has created some uniquely designed TV Stands.

The basic concept of the product is aimed at people who don’t always want their television being the main focal point of the room or they would like a huge TV they just don’t have the space. TV Lifts are fitted towards the back of a cabinet (and most other bits of furniture) and are activated by the press of a button. This signals the lift to slowly and securely lift the TV lift gently through a discreet gap in the furniture; this is then easily reversed and then made to look like a totally normal piece of furniture.

As far as I am aware this is fairly new and there is certainly a huge market they could have created to go along with the plasma TV boom. Of course there will be certain individuals who scoff at the idea and use the phrase “if you’ve got it, flaunt it”. However, for those who appreciate the design of their house and like to easily hide the big black screen which is dominating the room when it is not needed then this is a great design breakthrough and could be the end to the dilemma of where to put the huge TV in the bedroom!

Along with the standard range, TDK also offers custom fitting. So, no need to worry about furniture changes etc and the best part is that all of this seems to be within a reasonable price range.

I believe most of the website owners are aware of the fact how important is it to make a right decision while choosing a web host. However, choosing a web host is not the only thing to be taken care of. Choosing a right hosting plan is equally important.

If you’ve a new site which is not getting much traffic and regular visitors then it is okay to go with a shared hosting account but if you have a growing website which is important to your business then you should think twice before deciding the hosting plan.

Apart from the shared hosting accounts, an individual, organization can opt for a virtual private server or even a dedicated server depending on their website’s bandwidth and disk space requirements.

A virtual private server which is also known as a virtual dedicated server or a virtual server is a method in which a physical server is partitioned into multiple servers such that each one of them is capable of running its own operating system and works independently. On the other hand, a dedicated server hosting is the one in which a client leases an entire server that it not shared with any person. A client has the full control over the operating system, hardware, software and is responsible for server management which includes firewall updates, application updates, performance tuning and many more related tasks.

Now, you’ve some idea about the different hosting plans but the question remains same i.e. which one to go for? Well, virtual private servers are powerful than shared hosting accounts but they are not that flexible when compared to dedicated servers. A vps hosting is for the people who have a growing site which cannot be run on a shared account. A dedicated server is for the people who have a large requirement of bandwidth and disk space and needs full control over the server. A vps web hosting account costs much less when compared to a dedicated server and it can be used successfully for hosting a number of growing websites. You can go for a managed hosting or an unmanaged hosting when going for a virtual private server.

As for the dedicated servers, they are expensive and usually, require someone with good technical know-how in order to maintain the server. If you have some serious requirement of disk space and un-metered bandwidth at a high rate then a dedicated server is your best bet otherwise a vps can be used without any problems.

So, analyze your website’s requirements and decide a right hosting plan by comparing several hosting providers in order to avoid the hassles of downtimes, slow loading and more such problems.

As it is commonly seen wherever we go now a days, we find almost everyone use his or her mobile phones or other such devices to send their text messages digitally. This is especially true in case of the teenagers, who use their cell phones expertly. However, other people are not as comfortable or as skilled in using their cell phones like these teenagers.

If you own a website then I’m sure you must have gone through a period of confusion while deciding the right host. Internet is huge and there are a lot of hosting providers who claim to be the best in the hosting business. However, it’s not true.

The web hosting is a very competitive market and different hosting providers offer different packages at different prices. So, it becomes important for the end user to choose the host appropriately as choosing a wrong web host can cause loss of time and money.

Before you make your decision, you should compare different packages offered by different hosts so as to get the best value for your money. One thing to keep in mind while purchasing a web hosting account is that there is nothing called as ‘unlimited’ bandwidth as many web hosts use this term to lure the customers.

Web Hosting Pal is a website which allows end-users to compare several web hosts in order to allow the users to choose the best host. They offer a beginners guide and allow users to compare the prices, technical specifications, bandwidth, disk space and other features.
