Choosing Your Web Hosting Package?
Web Hosting in a tough economy does not need to cause a strife on your company's strategic planning. When planning your web development budget, considering how much it will cost for web hosting shouldn't break the bank. While hosting your company's website should be easy, there are a few things that will clue in to make sure you get what you pay for.
#1 Getting what you pay for: Massively Shared Hosting
Some of the most popular and most used hosting companies offer fantastic pricing for their hosting packages. But beware, there is a drawback (a major one). You are going to likely be sharing your web hosting service with thousands of other web hosted sites. The good part is you will never know who is hosting with you. You never have any contact with the other companies sharing your web server. The bad part is, you will never know who is hosting with you. With some nasty intentions, some poorly managed shared web servers can cause some real damage to your companies reputation.
There are a number of good hosting companies such as AN Hosting which offers this type of service and assures you that you are not going to be sharing your web hosting with any bad web sites. They reserve the right to remove any website that does not comply with their rules. There is the possibility that the server will not contain the strength of some of the other high end servers. But with packages as low as $5 a month, it can be a worth-while starting point for your web hosting needs.
If you are creating a blog website or any other smaller side website, I highly recommend starting with a company like AN Hosting for your hosting needs and then look to migrate to a more robust server if the need arrises in the future. But if you have high hopes for a strong and growing website, it is sometimes worth the extra few bucks a month to secure a well mantained and highly regulated server hosting company.
#2 Getting More for Your Money:
New Blood teams with AdJuggler and Central Hosting to manage a number of managed dedicated hosting solutions. What this means is, we are in control of every website that is hosted on our servers. We choose who can be hosted with us and monitor all the information that is seen through our server. Not only do we monitor all the information that is hosted on our servers, but often we are the ones that maintain the applications and therefore keep sites patched and up to date.
Please ask us about our maintenance packages for further details about how we maintain your site's security.
Our reason for managing our own servers is simple. Many of our clients just can't afford the possibility of getting misrepresented by a company not associated with them, but is performing sinister activities located on their web hosted server. With massively shared hosting services, there just isn't the amount of scrutiny over that activity occurring from day-to-day on all the hosted sites. There is no way to know what is going on elsewhere on the server.
With New Blood's Professional hosting service, you can rest assured that your site is hosted on a dedicated server for only New Blood managed sites.
Want to see the difference? We have 2 of the exact same sample sites hosted on our managed server as compared to a Massively shared hosting server. Depending on the time of day or amount of activity, you may not even notice the difference. If the difference is not substantial enough for your needs, then give An Hosting a try. Otherwise, consider spending the extra expense to ensure quality and speed at all times.
