A WEBHOST is a company that stores your web pages on its SERVER, so that they may be accessed from anywhere by anybody on the internet.
CHOOSING A WEBHOST
The most important thing to keep in mind when choosing a webhost is to make sure that you get a plan with all of the features and services that you NEED. Price should be only a secondary consideration in making this decision. First you should compare a number of webhosting services, and narrow your search down to a few that offer everything that you need.
DON'T CHOOSE A HOST BASED ON PRICE ALONE
There are plenty of cheap hosting services out there which are fine if you only need the bare essentials. But if you choose a $5 a month plan to save $10, instead of the $15 a month plan that offers all of the features and services you need, you will get more than $10 worth of headaches, frustration, and lost business.
$10 a month is less than 35 cents a day. If you're not serious enough about your business to spend the 35 extra cents a day to promote it properly, you are not going to succeed here or anywhere else.
FREE vs. PAID WEBHOSTING
There are plenty of free hosting services out there. Chances are your ISP provides space for your own personal home page. Free hosting is fine for things like that. But if you are promoting a business, selling your products or services on the internet, free hosting has several serious drawbacks:
*You cannot use your own domain name.
*Very limited storage space
*Annoying pop-up or banner ads (your site visitors must click or scroll past your host's ads to get to YOUR site content).
*Sites on free host servers are rarely indexed by the major search engines.
So Deelzonline strongly recommends that you use a paid host for your business site. There are many advantages to using a paid host, most notably:
*You may use your own domain name, and email addresses that are associated with it. (for more about the importance of this, see our domain name facts and FAQs)
*You will have the option of upgrading for more storage space when necessary
*Complete control over the content of your site. No need for your site visitors to click or scroll past somebody else's ads to get to your content
*All-in-all, a much more professional impression is made upon your prospective customers when you use a paid hosting service.
