Bookmark and Share
When the plan is clear it is time to choose what is going to be your domain name and to find a webhost. There are a lot of free options out there that lets you build a site on their domain for free, but this is not recommended. The only thing this is recommended for is to give your self a try at web site building at no cost. I would suggest trying it out for fun, but not spending a lot of time on doing it. That time you should rather use to build your business. No matter how you turn it, you will need an own domain name and a web host. When you are choosing your own domain name, try to find one that is including your main keyword. If you have the main keyword in the URL it will help the ranking for that keyword. This is unless you have a specific product, service, or company that you are marketing. Then the product name, service or company name would be the best.
Before Choosing a Web Hosting Company
There are so many web hosting services offered by web hosting provides like cPanel Webhosting, Linux Web Site Hosting, Yahoo web hosting, cheap internet hosing, business web hosting etc at very different prices So When you start shopping around for your next web hosting provider, there are certain criteria you will want to hone in on, namely: disk space, bandwidth, upload/download speeds, customer service and guarantees. One by one details is given below
Disk Space and Bandwidth
Disk space is the storage space your web hosting provider allows you for all the files that make up your website (from image galleries to databases to HTML and ASP docs, etc.). Bandwidth is the amount of data transfer your web hosting provider permits you in a given period (usually a month). It is disk space that determines how rich and elaborate your site can be. It is bandwidth that determines how much traffic you can accommodate.
Upload/Download Speeds
When someone visits your website online, how long will it take the page to load? The answer to this question alone -- and the consistency with which
you and your web hosting provider maintain it -- can be the singular point that makes or breaks your business. People have short attention spans made even shorter on the web. The longer you keep them waiting, the more likely they will stop waiting.


Customer Service
Is it 24/7 365? Is it all free or only certain services? Or is none of it free? Can you talk to a human being by toll-free telephone? In what areas? Does the web hosting provider use email query tickets or live chat or both? How extensive are their user guides, tutorials, and help docs? Do they use Flash or streaming audio/video or are all of their help
guides merely text based?
Guarantees
A Best web hosting provider will also usually offer some sort of uptime guarantee, meaning the percentage of the time your site is guaranteed to be live when a visitor tries to visit it. The best ones go from 99.95% to 99.9999%. As long as they have one in the 99% range, you can feel somewhat secure.

Upgrade/Downgrade Policies
Are they free? For how long (1year, life)? What if you discover you have chosen the wrong web hosting plan for your needs, or you outgrow your existing plan, or
you downsize? Don’t sign any contracts with any web hosting provider that locks you into one particular plan with no recourse should these situations arise. There is no need to have to pay exorbitant fees to get out of one plan and into another. Especially when a decent web hosting provider will allow you to change plans whenever you need to and for whatever reason.
