Bandwidth & Disk Space - How much do you really need?

Staff — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 04:46:36 +0000

Over the past few months, many web hosts have begun to increase the amount of file space and bandwidth they are offering in their hosting plans. Once one host makes an increase, many hosts follow suit, afraid to be left behind in the competitve web hosting industry. For instance, Lunarpages offers 1,500GB of space and 15,000GB of bandwidth in their basic plan and Hostgator offers 350GB of space and 3,000GB of bandwidth in their base Hatchling plan. Both are quality hosts but don’t compare them on those stats alone.

High amounts of space and bandwidth are nice, but one needs to be careful to only consider that in their hosting choices. Unless a site is serving up videos or large file, most sites will never reach the maximum file or transfer limits imposed and web hosting companies know this, making it easy to increase the limits without really doing anything. It isn’t as though the host is partitioning that amount of disk space on each server and reserving it for you in case you need it. It’s all there for everyone to use and they won’t do anything, unless you go over the limits. Therefore it is easy for hosts to increase these limits with little cost to them because they know how many people will need or use them.

Therefore don’t pay to much attention to the disk space and bandwidth limits. If your site ever needs greater capacities than most hosts already offer in their basic plans, you can always upgrade to a greater plan or even a virtual or dedicated server if your needs grow to that level.

ThinkHost - Carbon Free Web Hosting

Staff — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 04:44:51 +0000

It sure is politically correct to be environmentally conscious and ‘Go Green’. From hybrid automobiles to eco-friendly Palm Sunday palms, going green has entered into every part of our lives and web hosting is no different. Web hosting company Thinkhost hosting service is built all around being environmentally conscious.

Thinkhost’s site indicates they have been in business since 1999, and if so, meaning they have been somewhat ahead of the curve in reducing our carbon footprint. They claim to be run on energy created from alternative energy sources from the wind and sun. Thinkhost says they will even plant a tree for every new customer who purchases a hosting plan.

Thinkhost reliability and support is not quite known and we imagine they have standard energy sources inline as backup in case of failures.

Comment if you have any experience with Thinkhost.

Using a Split Test To Find The Best Domain.

Staff — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 01:05:13 +0000

Adwords is used by many people to promote their products and services and to drive traffic to their sites and stores. Did you know that Google Adwords will also help you do market research?

By using Adwords, you can run split tests on different domain names to see what is the best domain name for your site. While you may like a name better, it’s ultimately the people who buy your product or service who will decide if they like your site or not.

So why not let them tell you before you commit all time and money to a domain name. Some experience with Adwords helps but you can read about picking a domain name at the InstantDomainTool.com blog.

Web Hosting Coupons and more for the website owner.

Staff — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 00:57:28 +0000

Our first installment of web hosting coupons serves as a introduction to the purpose of this blog, which is to provide information about great web hosting and great savings. No one wants cheap $1.00 web hosting that costs you little but provides you nothing but some file space and no support or even placing THEIR ads on your website.

Great hosting deals are not just about great hosting savings or super spectacular promotions. Great hosting deals have to be for great hosting itself. You can save a ton of money on regular priced hosting but it means nothing if that hosting is no good.

In addition to hosting, we will cover domains, search engine news and optimization, PPC, industry news and anything else of some interest to web site owners.
