Yahoo web hosting monitors your network, protect your data and lets you spend more time on developing your business or finding new market for your products and services. In short, Yahoo web hosting provides the convenience and assistance you badly need.

Choosing the Right Web Hosting

With the market being unbelievably saturated when it comes to Web hosting companies, how do you know which one to choose? Before you even start looking for a hosting company, you need to determine your needs and decide exactly what you are going to need now, and for future developments for your Website. Here is a list of items you may want to consider:

Starting One's Own Web Site Hosting Business:

Before starting a web site hosting business, go through the pros and cons carefully and in doing so, few of these points can get anyone off to a good start:

• The initial investment will be the cost of the server, cost of added control panel, cost of advertisement and sales promotion activities and cost of support services. But one has to take into account the fact that when they are just starting the web hosting business the server will be empty. That means in the beginning one will have to personally bear the costs for server plus control panel.
• If anyone plans to resell someone else's services, then customer service and technical support are far more important than the price. The performance of the company resold will however be directly reflected on the judgements that govern it. Reselling others’ services is fine for some time, but they have their downtime and other problems as they operate on thin margins as well.
• If one decides to lease a dedicated server then they can seek quotes from companies such as Rackshack.net, Eservers.biz, Rackspace.com, Cyberworldservers.com and few others. Each of these companies will allow the would be owner to lease a server on their connection, allot a specified amount of bandwidth, and permit them to host their clients' websites on that server.

Basic Information

Before starting a web hosting business, it will be worthwhile to find a job or serve as an apprentice with a web hosting company before venturing out. As an employee, without the risks of being the investor, anyone will be able to assess the positive and negative sides of running a web hosting business. Please bear in mind that the web hosting market is very competitive and already saturated with too many players.

There are so many new web hosting companies offering cheap packages and it is becoming very hard even for the established web hosting companies to counter. It then really becomes essential to gain an in-depth knowledge about servers and control panels which are the building blocks of a web hosting set up.

Some Tiny Suggestions

• Free Shell access (SSH) is a significant advantage.
• MySQL databases working on localhost is better than a defined IP.
• Check the number of allowed maximum simultaneous connection to the databases.
• Control Panel is an important part of web hosting. Choose a famous well-developed one.

In general, shared web hosting companies provide critical limitations to keep their service live in the presence of numerous clients. Since the price of a shared hosting is at least 10 times less than that of dedicated servers, shared hosting is still the most popular way for hosting a website. On the other hand, shared hosting should be compared with managed dedicated servers, which are extremely expensive.

Customer Services

People usually think that they have a routine job and there should be no need for technical support, but it will happen. Therefore, it is highly recommend to try the company live chat to determine how much the live support team is fast, friendly, and helpful. It is very important service for a webmaster, as when a problem occurs for a live website, time strongly matters.

Web hosting companies pay high referral commissions (higher than the hosting price), because they know a client will remain for years. Thus, the key financial factor is the regular price, not a promotion for the first year.

Another critical feature needed for ordering web hosting service is Money-Back Guarantee (most of them have one, but it is very important). Changing the server is not usually an easy task, particularly for junior webmasters; thus it is highly recommended to test the web hosting service before putting all materials (websites) in action. As a matter of fact, hidden problems may be appeared when using the hosting service for a live website.

Although it is usually ignored by junior webmasters, the best way to register a domain is to keep the registrar different from the the web hosting company. As a result, there will be full control in the case of contract termination.

Popularity

It is useful to investigate the popularity of a web hosting company. An easy way is to check the Alexa rank of its domain. One may think that the Alexa rank is not usually reliable for two reasons:

1. The owner can cheat by fake traffic
2. Not all internet users have Alexa toolbar (to be considered by the Alexa)

But fortunately these are not the case for web hosting companies, because

1. It is so hard to cheat the Alexa rank of websites with high pageviews
2. Webmasters (who are hosting clients) usually have Alexa toolbar

Disk space and bandwidth

Disk space and monthly bandwidth are not important, as the practical limit is the CPU usage, and the allowed values are actually far from those claimed in ads. Unlimited space and bandwidth, which are very common these days, are truly meaningless, as just a small amount can be used in live performance of websites (e.g. in order of few gigs) on a shared hosting.

In addition, it is not possible to use the disk space separately (for storage purpose), as it is noted in the Terms of Services that any files should be associated with the running websites. On the other hand, handling large files is accompanied by much CPU usage. This is indeed an advertising trick, as almost all web hosting companies are shifting such values to 'Unlimited', though no client could reach even normal limits.

Easy Web Hosting

With Yahoo web hosting, individuals can save both time and money. They offer easy to use site building tools that even first time users can follow. There is always someone available to answer a customer’s question.

With a system that carefully monitors the network, individuals will have less time to worry and more time to work on the important up keep. With the convenience of Yahoo web hosting, once an individual signs up for their package, the person will have their website up and running in no time.

Web Hosting Starter Package

Once an individual signs up for Yahoo web hosting, the starter package will include 200 gigabytes of band width per each month, 5 gigabytes of allowed disk space, as well as 200 email accounts. The great thing about Yahoo, is when the website owner is ready to upgrade, they can do so at any time.

Free Registration for One Domain Name

Yahoo web hosting packages offer free registration for one domain name. Yahoo takes care of the registration fee and annual renewal fee, as long as the individual continues with their web hosting services. This can really help the buyer save on web hosting expenses.

Compare Hosting Packages

Individuals must carefully choose a Yahoo Web hosting package that best suits their personal needs. A person must take into consideration how much disk space their site may require. The space is determined by the amount of images, video, audio and any other related files the person will be displaying on their web pages.

It is also important for the individuals to determine the amount of monthly data transfer they may need. In order for individuals to decide on the right amount of data transfer, they must estimate the amount of traffic that will be coming into their website.

Last, it's important for a person to figure out how many email accounts the website would need. With a Yahoo web hosting account, the service allows individuals to create professional business email accounts that pertain to the domain.
