Tens hosting-providers offer the services in allocation of sites. Trying to entice new clients, the companies spend promo-actions, arrange competitions, award gifts. But nevertheless, what remains behind side scenes?
At all visible advantages, it is far not each provider provides a qualitative hosting. Moreover, many do not have round-the-clock support service by phone, and letters respond with lateness. To learn more or less trustworthy information, it is necessary to visit independent forums.
The hosting becomes the consumer goods. Demand grows. The sentence grows. How to be guided at a hosting choice?
Visit forums
- Study messages at forums in which owners of the concrete specified sites praise or criticise this or that hosting. Do not pay attention to the messages which authors do not name themselves as there can be the competitors, wishing to undermine another’s reputation.
- At forums you can learn, what sites are on this or that hosting. Gather as much as possible information about different hosters.
- Now, take advantage of tools which will give periodic reports on availability of a concrete site. Register (free of charge) on http://www.internetseer.com, enter in the field of URL the site address. Henceforth, in case of inaccessibility of this site you receive the letter with the detailed information on failure: when the site was disabled, what time it was unavailable, when again began to work.
Tools is given free of charge for limited time, therefore it is necessary to find some tested sites and simultaneously to register them.
If you have successfully registered, now you will weekly receive the report on a site state. The report includes the following data:
1. Outages – How much time the site was unavailable
2. Time on Error – time in which current the site was unavailable
3. % Uptime – Percent of common time of availability of a site
4. Connect Time – average time of connection to a site in seconds
The last item (Connect Time) is most important, since allows comparing access time to sites in a foreground.
In case of time inaccessibility of a site to you the extraordinary letter by e-mail where date and the common time in which the site appeared unavailable will be specified will come.
This small research will help to receive trustworthy information about operation of hosting-providers and to make the weighed solution in a hosting choice.
I consider that it is possible to use free hosting, and in certain cases even it is necessary. It first of all concerns beginners of web making. Agree silly to start to master creation of sites at once with a paid hosting. Before a choice “the paid or free site” needs to be understood for what to you the site is necessary. If it is a personal page or a small noncommercial site most likely it is necessary to start from free sites.
