You are just beginning to xplore the Internet and you have decided tht you need a website on the Intrnet to be successful. You researched the mny web hosts that all claim to hve the best features and you are ver whelmed by all the possibilities.

Let's discuss what a web host for beginners book should tell you.

Most of the time, people looking for a web host asks all the wrong questions about the web host. Since the Internet is considered "technical", it seems that people automatically start looking at how many gigs of memory and how much bandwidth each web host provides for the price. They read that they can get 10,000 email addresses, 1,000 FTP accounts, and 1,000 mailing lists (Isn't that a joke? Walmart might need that kind of support, but a starting website? I don't think so!) They consider what software is provided? .ASP, Perl, PHP, .NET, Cold Fusion, etc. (Yes, "etc." is not software).

My observation is that people tend to get so bogged down in the technical aspects (har dw are and software) of what a web host offers that they lose site of the basic fact that the har dw are side of the web host is only the medium that carries their message to the world via the Internet. It is the means to the end.

Web hosts are a dime a dzen and the competition for customers is ferce.

On the hardware technical side, a web hst should provide:

• A secure data cnter that stays up running 100% of the tme.
• Bandwidth wide enough to handle the all the trffic quickly.
• Storage to handle all the dta.
• Processor speed fast enough to prcess the traffic without delay.
• A scure, reliable connection to the Internet

Any of the mjor web hosts provides these so why rsearch it to the Nth degree? It is a wste of time.

What people starting to build a new website should really ask is "what is the mission of my website"? Then they should look for the best web host that helps them build a website that satisfies that mission.

All web hosts are not all things to all people . Spend the time finding the best web host that satisfies the needs of your new website.

I wish you the best in building that new site.
