I am looking to a reliable host for my newly build website.How to choose a reliable host?

Choosing the right web hosting company is one of the most important decisions you will make regarding your Internet business. When selecting a company, there are many factors to consider.

1. Know Your Needs
You need to have some idea of what your companies needs are before you start shopping around for a web hosting company. The cost of different packages will vary based on size requirements and bandwidth capacity, so a company won’t be able to give you a price estimate without this information.

2. Reliability of the Hosting Company
Before you select a company, you need to know how reliable that company is. If you ask any web hosting company whether or not it is reliable, the answer will of course be yes.

The question you need to ask is about downtime. You need to know how much downtime the company experiences. You also need to find out if the quoted expectation for downtime includes regularly scheduled maintenance or not.

Also check the Customer support of the host

You will want to go with a web hosting company that has available and responsive customer service. The first thing you should do is look at the website of a hosting company you are considering. Check out the options for customer service. If you have a difficult time finding customer service information posted on the website, that is a good sign that you are going to have trouble getting help when you need it.

Always choose a Reputate web host

HI,
What do you think about live chat support? Do you prefer your web host to take phone calls or you think that chattting with cutomer support is better?

Well both are important as hosting needs to have phone support and live chat. Live chat and tickets are good support for webhosting.

I think both are important. Don’t forget also on the ticket system.

I find live chat has worked best for small issues and the ticket system work for all issues and can be reviewed by all support teams instead of a one on one chat.

Phone calls, live support chat is always busy

I feel both are very important. While Live Chat is an easy way to assist customers, answering the phone is very important as that will say allot about a company. You may not always have access to a computer when you need to get in touch with your host which is why you should always have the toll-free stored in your cell phone

What’s the difference between multiple domain hosting and subdomains?

With multiple domain hosting you can use the same account with a host for two domains or more. Lets assume that you have registered two domains: http://www.cpwebhosting.net and http://www.mozunk.com. With multiple domain hosting you will be given one directory/folder on your webhost server where you would upload your HTML files/pages.

Subdomains are the third level domains in the sense they are used to organise your website content. They are just folders under your root directory but to access them a special url is used.
For instance, http://www.cpwebhosting.net is a regular URL without a subdomain.
forums.cpwebhosting.net is an URL with subdomain”forums”.

Here the
.net is the first level domain
cpwebhosting is the second level domain
forums is the third level domain

Many times you will see that a web host offers multiple domain hosting. In simpler words it means that on buying an account you will have the ability to get multiple websites. For instance, if the plan provides you with five domain names, you can use one domain for your website and you will still have four domain names leftover to use. The advantage of this scenario is that you can resell these four domain names to your clients.

Which web host provides Multiple domain hosting?

http://www.cpwebhosting.net provides Multiple domain hosting facility.
You can host Unlimited Domains in any web hosting account of cpwebhosting.net

Can someone explain how multiple domains hosting is possible technically? How hosts like cpwebhosting.net allow this with limited disk space?

If you’re referring to them allowing you to host unlimited domains, that’s within your alloted disk space. So, while they put no direct restriction on the number of domains you can host.

Domain are hosted in diffrent subdirectories and each of them points to its own folder in the main account. The site owner can host as many domain as they are allowed by their web host.

Disk quotas is how the amount of disk space that can be used is set. All domains can be hosted on just one IP address (except in cases of SSL’s).

Hi,
I am looking for a web hosting account.Plz. give me some Tips For Choosing The Right Web Host

Choose a web host that is going to provide your needs as they stand now as well as where they lead to in the future. Here we go:

1. Understand the differing types of hosts: shared, collocated, unmanaged dedicated, and managed dedicated.

2. Go for stability, not just size. Research how long the hosting business has been in operation. See if they have recently changed ownership, and if they show positive cash flow.

3. The possession of fully redundant data centers. If you are considering doing business with a smaller hosting vendor, ensure that they have adequate power and connectivity capabilities. Inquire as to the number of lines the facility has. Do they possess an on-site generator? Does the generator receive regular checks and maintenance? What is the average utilization of the connections available?

Also check other customer’s reviews of the hosting services. Same as any business, the hosting vendor should be able to provide good references.

What is the main thing that turns you off a host?

Lack of communication about anything..downtime..upgrades..that’s at the top of my list.

Major overselling or unlimited offers. Thats a definite turn-around for me.

There are many web hosting providers on internet. In this jungle of hosting companies, how do you make a good choice? Should you trust the sites offering web hosting reviews?

Many web hosting companies pay very generous commissions to those who refer new customers to them. It then becomes very tempting to set up a “web hosting reviews” website which is actually nothing but a billboard for the best-paying web hosting services providers, with no regard for their actual merits. And so it goes. I have personally looked over about a hundred of those web hosting reviews’ sites, and in most cases they are just that – billboards.

Most of the “reviews” are fabricated.

Often, web hosting review websites strongly recommend web hosting companies that are actually known to have a very poor customer reputation. Thus, they are really spreading misinformation and confusion instead of offering good advice.

you should NOT bother with the “customer opinions” posted by the web hosting companies themselves on their own sites. Often, those “reviews” are fabricated, or simply copied from somewhere else.

What technical expertise is required to become a reseller?

CP Web Hosting – Reseller Hosting : Windows Reseller Hosting, Linux Reseller Hosting

Most web host companies will provide technical support for your clients. However, basic knowledge in the use of HTML and scripting languages, familiarization with FTP/publishing utilities, knowledge of sending/receiving email and administration of POP accounts, ability to register new domain names as well as edit existing domain records for your customers are necessary.

What is Overselling and what is the Dangers Of Overselling Hosting Resources?

Overselling means that resources are being stretched to the limit and beyond. In other words what is going on is overselling. Overselling for a host is when they get more clients whose requirements exceed the available resources.

The disadvantages of overselling web hosting is that client sites take much longer to load. Many times they will be inaccessible altogether, resulting in a classic case to illustrate why cheaper can often be much more expensive.

The Internet is scattered with promises of “Unlimited Space” or “Unlimited Bandwidth” but is this really possible?

unlimited space or bandwidth is impossible.

There is nothing unlimited in this world. Every thing has a limit.

“Unlimited bandwidth and space” is a strategy to attract the customer. If u really looking for a reliable host then check out CP Web Hosting – Reseller Hosting : Windows Reseller Hosting, Linux Reseller Hosting
