How to choose a hosting.
Each person who wants to acquire hosting is wondering what kind of hoster or provider should be addressed. Of course, this does not care about experienced Internet users and webmasters, and priorities and their own bases have long been determined here. But what to do to a beginner who first encounters this problem and does not have a concept what these strange terms on the hoster’s pages mean: Microsoft Exchange, PHP support and many, many other oddities. Without answering a question regarding the choice of hosting, it makes no sense to talk further. Moreover, faith in the reviews of supposedly satisfied buyers, posted on the sites of providers, has long been blown up. So what you need to pay attention to when choosing a hosting?
We focus on trifles
Firstly, as in cases with online stores, visiting the provider’s website, you should look into the contact section. As a rule, a responsible and serious host does not hide anything about himself, so here we can see both the email address, and phones, mailing address and other necessary data. In the case when Khoster posted only the ICQ, Skype or other messenger number, you should think. Suspicions should also arise in a situation where the domestic provider has obviously published foreign contacts. Do not flatter yourself what Khoster says, describing the FTP hosting, as the most-most. Remember that first of all we are talking about the organization. Therefore, a serious person who is engaged in his own business naturally has his own office, appropriate equipment, etc. D. That is, the details corresponding to the first option, in other words, indicated in the full format, indicate that we are dealing with the organization. From some side this is wonderful: the more serious the company providing any services, the greater the degree of its responsibility. In this case, we can count on a really high -quality and pleasant service. But, as you know, there are exceptions everywhere, so do not forget about the accuracy.
Risk lovers
Contacts consisting of an email address and messenger indicate that behind them, as a provider, there is a dubious team of a couple of students engaged in the bite of the host. Cannot be said exactly how good it is or how bad it is. We remember the rule of exceptions? It is obvious that the cost of the services of such a provider will be more profitable and more pleasant. But is it a matter of such a risk? Well, and, of course, it is clear that it is not cost -effective to binding legal entities to such hosters, and the reason lies in the lack of licenses, reports and other documentation for the latter.
In the third version, everything is much more complicated. On the one hand, you can have a really worthy and responsible host, and on the other, just a company hiding behind the “overseas” details and intends to deceive you. It sounds impressive? Extreme lovers of the second and third options can appeal to their liking, but by no means who intend to invest in a really standing enterprise.
