RSS Subscribe Features in a Web Host
There are several sensitive areas, which a user should take into consideration while selecting a web host:
1. Disk space
2. Bandwidth
3. Scripts and utilities
4. Dedicated/Shared servers
5. Customers service/Support
6. Uptime/Reliability
7. Price
8. Free Hosting Providers
1. Disk Space: It denotes space provided by the host to the user in which he/she can locate his/her web site. It can ranges from 25MB to GBs to store all the essential requirements of the user. One can easily calculate storage space if his/her site is already constructed by considering all the aspects. This is the least requirement by the user. For sure success one should go for a plan having additional resources in comparison to user's current requirement.
2. Bandwidth: One of the crucial parts to verify is regarding bandwidth. There are several sites, which loose their
3. Scripts and Utilities: Does one's priority is dynamic information related to his/her products and services? If the answer is yes! Then user's plan should include a database tool. One cannot deny the fact that, Databases are extremely multitalented and will change according to the operating system, which the user chooses for his/her hosting server.
If one talks about further famous scripts it usually includes chat rooms, forums, blogs, and calendar programs and help desk software. Such scripts, which come along with user's hosting plan, are pre-configured by the service host so that user can properly work on their server. There are several hosts which even propose the Fantastico script package known to be the combination of 36 different free scripts which a user can easily install to his/her website.
Next thing to consider is the 3rd party script. These are those scripts which are available on the net to purchase and one can easily install to his/her website. One should note that there are only few of the scripts, which one can run on both the operating systems i.e. Windows and Linux; however, others are meant for only one operating system to be used.
4. Dedicated or Shared Servers: If one talks about the key difference between a dedicated and shared server then it is that there are several sites present on a shared server, however, there is only one website in case of a dedicated server.
Through a shared server one can save a high amount. If one talks about the drawbacks then Spamming and blacklisting from different search engines are the key problems. Such problems arise due to the reason that several sites are assign to one particular IP address. One should demand for a separate IP address for his/her website (on additional monthly charges) to secure the user from such problems.
Dedicated servers are considered best for big, highly trafficked websites, which requires large amounts of server resources to run. One of the negative points of dedicated server is that the server's resources are divided across all the sites it's hosting and answering page requests for. Thus, if one is working in a dedicated environment he/she always has to keep an eye on his/her resources. Another disadvantage is that dedicated servers costs around $50 per month or even more whereas shared hosting can be purchased for mere 5$ a month.
5. Support system: Another important aspect to consider is support. What is host's response time? Does their phone support is 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
Additional features one should verify for:
Is there POP email account, if yes, then how many?
What no. Of database is there?
Is there Web based e-mail with the host?
Does they provide Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus filters?
Do they provide the facility of Password Protected to user's directories?
Is their frequent backup if by chanc
