3. Keys to choosing a quality web hosting
Storage space
Since your website is an information management system on the Internet, you should keep in mind that you will store photos, text, videos and other documents on your server.
Therefore the space you have available to store such information in your web hosting is very important
It is important that we choose a storage space that fits the size of our website so that we are not limited in terms of storage capacity.
We must estimate the size of our website and choose the web hosting whose storage space is capable of hosting information, photos, videos and other content that feeds our website content.
For small projects you will not need more than 1 or 2 GB of storage space.
Ease of administration
Quality has to be paid for. If you want to choose a good WordPress web hosting that allows you to do the same things, but much faster and easier you must choose a WordPress web hosting service that includes two fundamental points:
- That allows you to install WordPress easily.
- It should have a good management panel.
A good WordPress web hosting includes the installation of WordPress in a single click, so you can install it immediately after hiring the service.
There are many control panels, but the most widespread by various factors is CPanel. If the web hosting includes cPanel we will save time.
It is widely used servers because it allows you to manage the aspects of your service quickly and easily.
Bandwidth
You must take it into account depending on the needs you have not to exceed the amount you have contracted and that you can be charged with the server and the web or that you have charges in your account amounts that did not have contemplated
Free domain the first year
Some hosting service providers use the hook of offering free domains for the first year.
You should be careful when choosing these options, because sometimes they tend to have a high cost of renewal of domains from the second year.
Maximum number of domains
You should not worry too much about this aspect, since normally when we hire a hosting or web hosting, we only need to have one or two reserved domains.
Just know that there may be a limitation on the maximum number of domains you can book with your domain pack and web hosting.
Limited or unlimited email accounts
Most web hosting usually offer a limitation on the maximum number of email accounts you can create.
So it’s another important thing to keep in mind if you need to have many email accounts registered.
Free or paid SSL certificates
It is a very important factor to bear in mind that your web hosting provides you with paid or free SSL certificates.
If you don’t know why you should have your website under the ssl protocol we invite you to read this article where we explain it in detail:
Why you should move your website to SSL protocol as soon as possible
Language
If you don’t know English, or you have difficulties to manage in another language than your native one, you have to know that there are web hostings that offer services in one or another language.
Having a hosting with support in the language we master to streamline the management and support tasks will allow us to manage our online business faster.
Price
Finally, price is also a determining factor when choosing one hosting or another.
Obviously, the higher the price, the higher the performance of the server.
At How To Find we recommend choosing the hosting that best suits the needs of the project in order to avoid excessive economic costs.
Conclusion
To know how to choose the best web hosting for your online business, it is important to carefully analyze the factors that are priorities for the website or online store we want to host.
We must choose the option that best suits the needs of our online business, knowing that first hand, we can expand the option of server chosen to a higher performance to adapt to the growth of the business.
