If you are an absolute beginner this is where you should start. if you already have your own domain name and web hosting you can fast forward to part 3.
One feature I like about site5 hosting is the multisite accounts. It is basically a full featured control panel for each domain. Unlike other Shared Web Hosting companies which uses domain pointers, a multisite accounts exists on its own with its own subdomains, domain pointer, ftp, mysql etc. This help me to organize my websites better especially if you have a lot of domains. You can set the diskspace and bandwidth from the main pool of your web hosting account.
The availability of the network provides the uptime for the website. Usually, this network is located in data centers with powerful internet connection. Therefore, it will provide stable network for the websites to assure that the Shared Web Hosting UK hosted are working perfectly fine. For the servers to be located in the data center, we called it the network uptime.
I have recently shared a customer's nightmare with a supposedly reputable domain registrar. All they wanted was their domain pointing to a different DNS server (the server that tells the internet where your website is), a simple request, they received no response from any of their emails. I didn't like their silence and suggested we actually move the domain to my registrar instead, more emails sent, more silence, weeks of it!
Cost: For Affordable Web Hosting, always choose a reputed web hosting company. Do not think about free PHP hosting because you will definitely get a bad experience if you choose it. Other side you may find many hosting companies who provide you PHP hosting in cheap rate.
Before deciding on a snappy name for your new web property, what do you want your site to say about your business? Are you going to offer information only, will it be an online catalogue, will you sell online or do you just want to encourage visitors to call your office? If you already have a company registered then it makes sense to register a domain name in the same name. If you are just setting up in business try and make sure your domain name matches your trading name.
There are MANY web hosting companies on the web fighting for your business. Make sure to research these companies. Although there are many GREAT companies out there that will make your experience extremely easy, there are also those that are saying what they know you want to hear in order to cheat you out of your money. You need a company that's going to offer you what you need, but will also be reliable at the end of the day.
