What is a Web Hosting Service?

A web hosting service is a kind of Internet Hosting Service that enables people, be it individuals, companies or organizations to have their own websites accessible via the World Wide Web

Web Hosts Provide space (bytes) on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity.

Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation.

But what is a good web hosting service?

Can it deliver? That is the first question one should always ask before buying a web hosting service.

Just to mention lightly, there are fundamental issues to consider too. The hosting service should be reliable and not at any time offline as this means that your website that they are hosting is not accessible. They should be established and reliable with maximum server uptime. They should have support for different software and technologies. They should have online available support.

At one time I was trying to add files to a website and they was a problem as I couldn’t overwrite the existing files. It was a simple problem but I guess I really need some support. The guys who host this site luckily for me, have some 24/7 wonderful support. Right from their homepage you have a live chat box, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT A MEMBER!

Anyway I was able to get it done in no time thanks to their lively helpful support.

I don’t know about their other services and details, since I was doing the job for a client, but I know that this company has a very reliable live support. In fact, they never fail to help you at any one time!

In closing, a reliable web host service should have enough space. I mean, I’ve seen some hosts offering 500GB at a very cheap cost and if you are planning to come up with a youtube kind of a site where you have videos and they require enough space, you gotta be careful!

Cost is another factor to consider too. Cheap is not always good in web hosting.

But hey, Some of the worlds best rated hosting companies are actually some of the cheapest!
