3 Things to Consider When Deciding on a Company to Host Your Website

We have heard the horror stories from clients who were hosting their website with other companies before us, so we know what to tell our clients to look out for! 

Use a Website Hosting Company that Uses Dedicated Serers!

There are a couple of different types of web hosting plans to choose from, and of course, each one has its own set of benefits. However, choosing a dedicated server hosting plan is a powerplay move. With a dedicated server hosting, you have will exclusive use of the server’s resources alongside a limited number of other websites. 

Use a Website Hosting Company that Includes an Exceptional Customer Service that You Can Count On!

Customer service is one of the most sought after and important factor when considering a website hosting company. You’ll want to be sure that the company you choose to host your website will be quick, diligent, and responsive to any questions or concerns you may have.

Domain Registration

A domain name adds a unique credibility and professionalism to your business. If you publish your site through an ISP or a free Web hosting site, you’ll end up with a URL such as “www.yourISP.com/-yourbusiness”. This generic address, although functional, does not inspire confidence in a customer like a “www.yourcompany.com” domain name does.
And since many people still don’t fully trust the Internet and e-commerce, you’ll want to do what you can to prove that your small business deserves their money. If you’re not willing to pay the money to register an appropriate domain name, why would consumers think you’d put any effort into creating valuable products or services? (www.allbusiness.com)

Tips for Selecting Your Domain Name:

  • Try your company name first
  • Consider search terms that potential clients may look up
  • Be unique, but not too clever
  • If dot-com isn’t available, try dot-net or dot-biz
  • Make it easy to type
  • Make it easy to remember
  • Keep it short and sweet
