After you have a domain name, the next pruchase for your website is hosting. Your web designer may suggest a host they have an affiliation with already. This is a good idea because the designer will be familiar with the layout of the control panel and the resources available from that host.
If you are trying to decide on a host, here are some things to consider:
- Reliability – check to be sure that your host has a nearly perfect up time record.
- Name Servers – there should be several name servers available to service your account. At least 2 on the hosting site and at least 1 off site.
- Security – there should be 24/7 security on your servers. This requires physical security of the building and servers, the electronic security built into the system and the monitoring of those servers.
- Can this company provide the resources and customer services you need?
