How Do I Find Good Web Hosting?

Let’s not beat around the bush right? Finding good hosting is a lot like shopping for a new car. Sure you can wing it and find a good car but the more you understand the components of what it is your buying the more you can manipulate the purchase to your advantage. I might even add that shopping for hosting is harder because you have to understand the elements because there is nothing physical to see.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

What to Look For?

Every host is different and in today’s times there has never been a wider gamut of businesses. The reality is, every host will provide a different set of services because the term has become so ambiguous. As an individual with a background in IT and computer science I would say to try and get more than just “hosting.” For example, our hosting offers specific features as well as security protocols, infrastructure updates, plugins/theme updates, google analytics maintenance, and elementary SEO among other things. Our premium accounts include an isolated managed CMS service whereby servers are optimized for efficiency as well as some of the previous features. Another great features is proprietary environmental resources where resources are not shared across the network. One of the reasons websites begin to have issues is because they are located on a shared server that can get overloaded and slow down.

Shared Hosting vs 960 Design Website Management

Premium hosting offers faster web server capabilities and automates many services that would otherwise be left unchecked. For example updates are automatically implemented (both wordpress and theme infrastructure updates). These updates may not be too noticeable visually but they will ensure your website display correctly on all devices moving forward. As new cellphones emerge your website will assimilate the latest coding standards and deliver your content beautifully. It also implements performance-enhancing features like caching and front-end load balancing. However some of the best qualities include a higher level of security and the reliability of back-ups ensuring your website is never down. What you get is a streamlined service designed to deliver content in an environment optimized for high performance.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]About the author: Miguel Garcia is the creative director at 960 Design, a California-based web hosting company that provides comprehensive solutions to internet users around the world.
