Choose a Web Host

Web hosting a very important part of having a website on the internet.

You should choose a web hosting plan that suits your needs and provides good value for money. There are a lot of hosts that charge a lot for very little bandwidth, storage and other resources.

Guidelines to what you need for a small website;

• Storage Space: 500 MB should be enough but remember that if you have an email address it can use this up quite fast.
• Bandwidth: This depends very much on how many visitors you site gets, 1 GB should be enough to start with.
• Operating System: Linux is the norm but some companies offer Windows as well. It does not really matter what you choose.

Before signing up just remember to make sure that it is a reliable host. Check how long the service has been in existence, read a web hosting reviews to hear what other people who have used the web hosting provider say.

A very popular host is HostGator. They have excellent service and support. Use coupon code SUPER10FREE to get up to $9.94 off your first payment. That is really quite a lot! But you need to make a big order to take full advantage.

Another is Hub Host. They are better if you only need a small hosting package and they also register .co.za domains. Use coupon code STARTUP to get up to R50 off your order. That is equivalent to 3.8 months free hosting!
