Space

This is measured in MB (Megabytes) or GB (Gigabytes). One gigabyte equals 1024 Megabytes, so there is a huge difference. The space you will need depends on your website characteristics. Do you have many image files? Images take up more space than webpages themselves. To have an idea of the space you will use, add up the sizes of all your website files. Generally if you’re not sure you can start with plans that include less space and upgrade later if necessary.

Programming language

Is your site written using only plain html? Then this item in the checklist is not important. If it is written in ASP, Php, Cold Fusion, Perl, Java or any other programming language, you need to check the hosting plan to see if it supports that particular programming language. If you’re not sure about which programming language was used, ask your programmer about it. If you bought a script or you use an open source one, check its requirements.

Web Server and Operating System

Some scripts need Apache web server to run. Others need IIS running on a Windows server. Verify your script requirements or check with your programmer to see if you need to get Linux or Windows based hosting, and if it matters which the web server is.

Monthly Traffic

This is related to how many people will visit your site per month. Unless you chose a strange hosting package or your website is very popular, it should be enough. As with space, you can upgrade later if necessary.

Database

Does your website use a database? If so, then you need one. The hosting package may include a MySQL database, PostgreSQL, SQLServer, or Access. Again, verify your script requirements or check with your programmer to see which database you need. It is also nice to have a utility to manage the database, so look in the hosting plan details to see if they offer a tool like phpMyAdmin, for example. phpMyAdmin is a commonly used admin tool for MySQL databases.

Common aspects

These are normally present in most hosting plans nowadays. -FTP: to upload files to your server. -POP Email addresses: email accounts you can receive in your email client, not only view online. The number of pop accounts may vary from plan to plan. -Webmail interface: to view your email from any computer.

Customer service

It is important that the company answers your questions promptly. Pay attention to which means they offer you to contact them. Will you have a ticketing system to ask questions and inform about problems once you’re their customer?

arked Domains, Sub Domains and Redirects

If your site will have sub domains, like sales.your-domain.com and support.your-domain.com, the hosting plan you need has to allow the creation of these sub domains. If you have more than one domain pointed to the same website, you need to check if the plan allows you to park additional domains. If you need to redirect a page (Url) to another page, you need to be able to create redirects.

Front Page extensions

If your website is built using Front Page, then the hosting plan needs to have these extensions for your site to work properly.

Multilingual website


How could we develop multilingual websites??

The Code Page

The best code page that you should choose for your web pages is Unicode.

Navigation and Design Considerations

Some languages force you to apply some changes in the design and navigation of your website.

Font Face Considerations When you are creating your web pages in a language other than English, you would be limited in using font faces.

Domain Name

Despite the language of your web site, the domain name should be in English. At this time, having a domain name in another language presents another set of issues and the way multilingual domain names are handled is still a new issue in development.

There are many advantages that accrue to an open source world, which is very beautiful. Contributions towards development come from various quarters. For building up of an application, MySQL, php and Linux are famed platforms. Many open source applications can be found out on Linux to set up a blog, image gallery or a forum. They do not cost a single penny. Though MySQL and php can function on Windows as well, Linux is a very good platform to leave.

An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique number that devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard (IP).
Just as each street address and phone number uniquely identifies a building or telephone, an IP address can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on a network.
An IP address can appear to be shared by multiple client devices because they are part of a shared hosting web server enviournment.

The World Wide Web is a massive collection of web sites, all hosted on computers (called web servers) all over the world. The web server (computer) where your web site’s html files, graphics, etc. reside is known as the web host. Web hosting clients simply upload their web sites to a shared (or dedicated) web server, which the ISP maintains to ensure a constant, fast connection to the Internet.

Great host


How can we choose a good host?

Storage space and data transfer. A small information site or personal site will usually only require a few megabytes of disk space, however, data transfer depends on the size of the pages your are offering your visitors multiplied by the number of visitors. Therefore, a popular and graphics heavy website such as online art gallery requires a greater monthly transfer than a mostly text site . You should look at a minimum of 2 GB (2000 MB) data transfer a month. Check with the company that they can upgrade your account if your site increases it’s need for storage or monthly data transfer.

Make a list of the features you want before you start your shopping. Many features such as e-commerce shopping carts and real time credit card processing will cost you a lot of money. Pre-installed scripts such as email scripts and page counters and use of a secure server (SSL) should be included for free. If you can get a browser control panel and browser mail, this allows you extra flexibility with your site.
Browser based email lets you access your mail from any Internet connected computer. Be sure you know what’s included in the cost of your hosting package. If in doubt, contact the company and ask.
