It’s a tough task to choose a web hosting service provider. The most difficult thing during this process is not to find a cheapest one but how to find a reliable web hosting solution which won’t put your online business in risk. One effective method to make your way through the puzzle is to consult web hosting provider reviews.
There are many places you can find the web hosting review. They could be the reviews from the professional editors, or the reviews from their customers. The most important messages you should look at from a web hosting review site are the customer service and the comparison between different solutions.

1) Nothing can be more important than the customer service of a web hosting vendor. A worse support can hurt all the effort on your site. Usually, the people who get poor or great support would like to share their experience. Don’t miss this part of message from a review site, and try to avoid signing up with those with bad customer review.

2) Another great thing is that you can already find you have a new choice when reading the product review. Some reviews site also provides a tools for you to compare the features of different web hosting solution to help you make a better choice.

But should you fully trust what are in web hosting reviews, below are something you should keep in mind when reading those reviews.

There are many this types of site but usually are small sites since they tend to more focus on the short term benefit instead of the long term earning.

Why Go For Web Hosting? by Jim Jameson

For one reason, publishing of either personal or business content online would not be possible if it weren’t for web hosting. As this answers to almost everything about web hosting, it is much better to somehow dig a little deeper into it.

Web hosting is a type of internet service providing people with a space to display almost anything on the World Wide Web. Since people today are living in an environment exposed to lots of technological advancements, being seen on the Internet is a means to widen your audience. Hosts of web sites are actually servers that store all of the contents and can be accessed by anyone as long as an Internet connection is available.

How it works is basically like renting a space to put up a store where anyone can come in and out to look around or buy anything. In technical terms, the hosts of web sites are the ones providing space for any data which can be easily located by anyone who will surf the Internet. Ones the space is already rented or set up, an IP address is given that serves just like a home address so that the space can be located.

It really sounds easy and if one already knows how to design or build a website, it’s much easier needing only a web hosting service to put the contents up and running. There are actually a lot of web hosting service providers nowadays, but they can be somewhat summed up into two types; the paid and the free web hosting service. The type of web hosting necessary depends on the content to be placed on the web.

DotAsia Domains are Now Live !

ASIA TLD fulfils a market need and a dream: market needs in a dynamically growing community, and a dream to have a unified front that improves international recognition and regional competitiveness to balance the global forces.

With over 60% of the world’s population (and over 90 languages), Asia is a region that is experiencing tremendous economic, cultural and technical growth. Asia has begun to emerge from its financial and economic problems of the 1990s; at this critical juncture of rejuvenation, a special, dedicated domain can help players in the region to realize their global citizenship as well as the potential for regionally targeted efforts.

Leveraging the successful experience of existing Asia community initiatives, DotAsia Organisation aspires to bring together the Pan-Asia and Asia-Pacific region. A regionally dedicated domain can help cement a common regional identity that will be reinforced by the reinvestment of registry proceeds into further development for the region. While a single domain registry cannot solve all of the macro issues in the region, this initiative nevertheless seeks to contribute to the realization that regional collaboration will lead to stronger global competitiveness among Pan-Asia and Asia-Pacific corporations, economies and people.

What Is A Website Content Management System (CMS)? by Dan Parks Sydow

A website builder is software that enables someone with no computer programming knowledge and no website design skills to be able to create a website with a look and content tailored just for that person. The heart of any website builder is a content management system, or CMS. As a software engineer, I know about the technical details of developing content management systems. As the author of numerous programming books, including several books in the “For Dummies” series, I know about describing technical information to non-technical people. In this article I’ll skip the programming aspects of a CMS and instead provide you with some basic, generalized information about content management systems.

A website can be created without a content management system (CMS). In fact, most small websites don’t use a CMS. A website developer defines a web page by typing the content – the words that are to appear on the web page – in a text file. The developer applies tags – special sequences of characters – throughout the file to provide the desired formatting. The formatting can be effects such as adding bold or italics to text. This non-CMS approach to creating a website is fine and dandy for a very small website that is meant to be static. A static website is one that doesn’t change. Once the look and content of the site is established, the site is basically “done.” If at a later date the website owner does want changes to the site, making those changes can be time-consuming. The website owner needs to manually edit the files that make up the website pages, typing in additions and corrections, and making sure that any changes don’t negatively affect the layout, or look, of the site.

Web Hosting prices criterion for choosing a Web Host?

It’s attractive. There are several companies offering cheap services full with amazing post-futuristic techno-gizmo features. But does it helps in saving much money?

Answer is no, not at all as the maximum saving would be in some dollars only. If one is running a business site, saving $5, $10 or even $15 per month is not considered a big saving. There is not a single company whose survival is dependant upon 15 dollars but if the wrong web host is chosen by mistake then surely it can destroy the business.

Given below are 3 main reasons to ignore price issue while selecting web host: –

1. Usability. Confession time: Besides other issues usability holds an important place while selecting a new web host. Especially for a beginner it is important to have at least good control panel. There are example where one in the beginning opted for cheap web hosting and there after faced the problem of operating the control panel and often found him/her self traveling in circles trying to enter it.

Thus if one consider this factor of usability and just know little bit of CGI can easily manage his/her emails and can edit html files right on the server. What more is required for a beginner who was earlier not even able to find files on the previous hosting server?

2. Service. Second factor to consider is service. There are cases where in the beginning users were quite happy with their cheap web host as were even getting all the responses via email on time. Problem occurred when some guy with a chip on his shoulder filed a phony Spam complaint. Now the response was suddenly missing from the host when complaint was made. Infact no one was interested in speaking over phone. The remedy came when the user’s ISP responded to the same phony complaint immediately, sharing with user a copy and giving a chance to deal with it. Thus it is again recommendable to pay more but one must look for this feature.

3. Reliability. One must also look for the good uptime and should also check for reliability. There are many problems that occur when one ignores this factor like a form not functioning thereby resulting in lost sales. More worse is that Google comes crawling just when site is down and search engines don’t like sending people to unreliable sites. Thus it can be concluded easily that paying little more is better than paying a lot more in lost sales and increased stress. One should keep in mind that his/her whole business is dependant upon website and so one must consider all the factors not just price while selecting a new web host.
