17. Troubleshooting Web Hosting Problems
from:While planning to start a website, the first step is to find a web host and sign up with a provider for a fee to upload your content on cyber space for the world to see. It may sound simple but selecting an appropriate web host is a challenging task in itself.
Before selecting a web host, one should avoid some mistakes that might cost an online business owner a lot of money. Here are some of the problems and their solutions that may help you from making costly mistakes:
Don’t fall in the price trap
Some web hosting sites offer incredibly low hosting rates and that turns into a nightmare later on. So it is very important to check the rates and the bandwidth.
Right type of bandwidth and enough space
You should make sure that the web host is providing you the required amount of bandwidth for your business. You should also check that the host is providing you enough space for the site.
Inexperienced reseller
Web hosting with a reseller is not a bad idea but at times it turns out to be a bitter experience if the reseller is not experienced when its comes to scripting and server.
Your requirements should be clear
You should be very clear with what you want and you should prepare a list of resources needed for your site and keep on adding as the list grows. This helps you in upgrading and you are able to show the list of your requirements to your host. You must have a clear idea about what you want in your website and how big it should be to cope with the market demand.
Buying hosting service through an auction
Auctions might be a good place to buy web hosting services. But you have to review the terms and conditions of the service before bidding for it. If you haven’t reviewed their terms closely, it would be ideal to stay away rather than take chances.
Never take testimonials at face value
Don’t go by the face value of the hosts’ testimonials. You must talk to their clients and if they are reluctant to release the names of their customers then you would be better off looking for a different web hosting service.
Always maintain a record of contact information
Don’t be just happy with email details. If the host’s server is down it also means that your site will also be down and you will be losing customers. So it is very important to keep telephone numbers and addresses to get in touch with the host if and when you come across a web hosting crisis.
Never rely on hosts’ backups
Always have your own backup. Your business may suffer if your hosts are unable to provide you with backup. This happens frequently.
Availability of the latest software
You should be armed to the teeth to prevent your site from cyber crime. So you should always check out whether you web host has the latest software to give you the best security. Also verify the versions they are running and check on how frequently they update them.
