Personal web hosting to all other types of web hosting covers some ground rules. The only difference between a professional web hosting and personal web hosting pay arrangements to secure server for credit card payment. Other than that checklist remains the same as for the business web hosting.
The checklist below will help you choose the right host:
1st - How long does it take for the domain registration to be posted online? It should be less than 36 hours.
2nd - Can I have other sites in my domain? It should be possible for you to use the alias domains, provided that they lead to the main page of your domain. Does it come with dedicated hosting as well?
3rd - Am I the owner of the domain names worth? The answer should be YES, without any conditions.
4th - Will it be possible for me to update the information on my website / domain? All rights to the domain, ie billing, technical, administrative, etc., should be given to you. And yes, should web hosting be able to update your website, aos information at your request.
5th - Can I change my page? The answer should be YES, in principle, although some sites will ask you to route changes by them. This may be an inconvenience for those who can do it themselves and have a lot of updating to do.
6th - What is the protocol for setting the html directory permissions? Most web hosting, you can use Control Panel to set permissions and change your site design.
7th - Can I use web mail through my domain? Most hosting accounts have squirrel in their packages. This facility will also handover of e-mail and auto response.
8th - Can I access my cgi and perl scripts? The answer should be YES.
9th - Do you have fast and efficient technical support / service? The answer should be YES, round days 24 / 7.
10th - Are you using the advanced search engine optimization meta tags above? The answer should be YES again. Today, servers use sophisticated SEO tools.
Other factors include the payment and billing, traffic management space, so-called bandwidth, and disk or storage space. You should be prepared for an annual billing in addition to a monthly billing. Web hosting companies offer an annual billing for a discount rate, and some say you should be careful to avoid one years package that will block your shifting in case you are dissatisfied with the web hosting. This is not always true, for today, aos competition between web hosting companies, many reliable companies offer 30-90 day money back guarantee if you are not satisfied.
In the case of traffic or bandwidth space on the lowest you would have to be somewhere around 25 GB / month, while to store a simple personal website, should the storage requirement of at least 500 MB of disk space. I would consider 1 GB or more disk space to avoid additional charges, if your need for space becomes larger in the future. But it all depends on the type and size of files you upload to your website. Why not go after the hosting company that offers you a 15 GB or more disk space for extra fees, because you never need as much space. Even with complex Web sites, you would not use more than 10GB.
It is best to research feedback of web hosting before you decide which one to choose, and the above questions will certainly guide to a wise decision.
