Find Hosting of Website

Want to find the best hosting for your website?

What kind of hosting do you need depends on what kind of website you want to build.

Simple website hosting

For simple site hosting, you don’t have to look further than disk space and monthly bandwidth usage. If you are hosting a simple business website, blog, or personal page, you only really need about 500mb of disk space (about 40-50 pages of content with medium image usage), and about 1gb-5gb of monthly bandwidth to handle about 500-1000 daily unique visitors.

E-commerce website hosting & Complex site hosting

For more complex websites like an e-commerce store or a complex site like magazine/news, community boards, and so on, you need to look deeper than just disk space and bandwidth usage. Find out how many MySQL databases you need, if you’re hosting a blog, you need only 1 database per wordpress blog. If you want to have a blog, forum, and other dynamic features all in one hosting account, then you need to seek a hosting company that provides more than a few MySQL databases.

You might also want to check email accounts allowed per account if you intend to have staff working with you on the site, so they can manage tasks and communicate.

There is a free way to have unlimited branded emails though, and thats with “email forwarders“, which means you basically create branded email accounts like “admin@webhostingdoc.com”, and then have any emails sent to that name directed to one of your freely hosted email accounts like gmail or yahoomail.

In closing..

You don’t need to get overwhelmed by all the different options provided by hosting companies to find hosting of your website. Lots of the features added to their list is just extras that you barely might use. The fundamentals are disk space and bandwidth, and then the next most important is MySQL Databases and Email Accounts if you want to have a more grander website.
