Small Business Web Hosting Guide
If you're like me then you always find things out later rather than sooner and my small business web hosting experience was no exception. When you're shopping around and considering your small business web hosting options please ponder very carefully before you go for a free web hosting offer. The free web hosting usually means that you are paying more to register the domain name and a free hosting account has functionality that you are sure to find limiting either now or in the future. When you inevitably need to upgrade your free hosting account you'll find that the upgrade options from the same company don't seem as generous when you shop around. One of my first small business web hosting accounts was with Dot Easy because they offer free web hosting but I then found out that the functionality was too limited and you have to wait a long time before getting a resolution to any support problem. They also stick their own, whole page, ad in front of you for a while each time you log into your members area.
Small business web hosting considerations should emphasise the "business" not the "small". All good businesses grow and you need a hosting account that can grow with you. Apart from just supporting html and email, the hosting should also have some additional functionality. It's a good idea to research what these additional features, such as php and MySQL (databases), could do for you before you decide on a small business web hosting package.
I use Bluehost for hosting multiple domains, this company provide an unlimited number of add-on domains with email addresses specific to each add-on domain, this saves you having to purchase a new hosting account for each additional domain you want to set up and although they are not the cheapest host they provide a pain free hosting experience that gives me everything I need.
I hope that this article will help you to benefit from my experience of small business web hosting services.
