We
have
up
to
date
information
regarding
important
issues
you
need
to
consider
when
seeking
out
a
Web
Host.
We
teach
you
what
to
look
for
in
web
hosting
services,
what
to
ignore
as
just
Geek-Speak
or
Ad-Spin,
and
most
importantly,
what
(whom)
to
avoid
online.
This
last
mentioned
aspect
of
our
Web
Hosting
Critique
lends
to
our
receiving
quite
a
few
irate
emails
from
fly-by-night
"web
hosts".
Our
analytical
Web
Hosting
reviews
include
detailed
answers
to
questions
like
the
ones
below:
Q.
What
is
Disc
Space
allotment
and
which
web
hosting
company
offers
the
most
for
the
least
amount
of
money?
A.
The
amount
of
Disc
Space
you'll
need
or
use
for
your
particular
web
site
in
mega
bytes
or
gigabytes
is
easy
to
judge.
However,
your
final
choice
for
a
web
host
should
not
be
based
on
which
company
offers
the
most
disc
space
or
the
largest
allotment
of
bandwidth.
There
are
much
more
important
issues
at
hand.

Q.
If
my
web
site
is
only
2
or
3
mega
bytes
in
size
do
I
need
to
buy
a
hosting
package
with
20,000MB
of
space?
A.
Certainly
not,
we'll
show
you
how
to
decide.

Q.
What
is
Bandwidth
allotment
and
how
important
is
it
when
considering
a
Web
Host?
A.
Choose
a
host
that
offers
enough
bandwidth
to
handle
your
estimated
initial
web
site
traffic,
but
with
easy
upgrade
if
your
web
traffic
grows
unexpectedly?
Your
decision
should
be
based
on
how
much
bandwidth
your
customers
will
use
up
on
your
web
site
per
month,
based
on
file
sizes,
down/uploads,
media
type
offered,
image/file
size
etc.
We
discuss
this
further.
Q.
What
is
DNS
and
how
do
I
make
the
needed
changes?
A.
In
changing
hosting
companies
you
must
point
your
domain
name
to
the
new
host's
servers.
We
show
you
how.
Q.
Should
I
use
a
free
or
extremely
cheap
hosting
company?
A.
Online,
as
in
everything
else,
you
get
what
you
pay
for.
Hosting
companies
are
not
online
as
good
Samaritans
just
to
give
away
free
services.
They
have
to
pay
employees,
advertising,
and
over
head
just
like
any
other
business.
With
free
hosting
there's
always
a
catch.

Q.
What
are
Web
Hosting
extras,
do
I
really
need
them?
A.
You're
most
likely
speaking
of
CGI
scripts,
ASP,
mySQL,
SSL,
RealAudio,
Streaming
Media
and
such.
Some
of
these
you
might
need,
depending
on
the
type
of
web
site
you
build,
but
in
most
cases
you
won't
need
them
all.
Here
you
can
learn
their
use,
and
easily
decide
if
they're
important
to
you.
Q.
Many
of
the
Web
Hosting
ads
that
I
see
online
seem
too
good
to
be
true.
A
typical
web
host's
web
site
offers
up
so
much
different
information
that
it
tends
to
confuse
me.
Am
I
the
only
one
being
baffled
by
all
the
technical
jargon?
A.
In
many
cases
it
is
simply
marketing
tricks
in
which
frivolous
and
nearly
useless
extras
are
prominently
displayed
as
though
they're
of
value
to
you.
Unfortunately,
a
more
common
problem
is
that
you're
dealing
with
Geek
Speak
written
in
by
egotistical
copy
writers
that
like
to
talk
over
the
average
Web
consumer's
head.
Don't
feel
put
down
by
it.
We've
been
working
full

eight

we

yet
we
are
still
piqued
by
the
unnecessary
lingo
that
pops
up
online.

Web
Consumer
Warning
The
online
web
hosting
horror
stories
abound
in
which
unwary
people
purchase
web hosting
and
receive
nearly
useless
tech
support,
never
receive
any
tech
support,
don't
receive
what
they're
promised,
end
up
losing
dozens
of
hours
of
effort,
and
ultimately
losing
money.
In
many
cases
the
people
under
assault
by
these
internet
predators
have
lost
three
months
or
even
a
year
of
web
hosting
fees
paid
in
advance
to
unscrupulous
"web
hosting
resellers". For
