Choosing a hosting or how not to be mistaken forever.

Working more than one year in the construction of sites, many times convinced of the odd looks of individual customers. And the number of "mistaken" sometimes approaches 100%. In this article, I would like to talk about the correct choice of hosting providers and frequent mistakes related to the design of sites for site placement.

Myth one is free hosting. How many articles and lampoons have been written on this topic, but still there are always gullible people who sincerely believe that in free hosting everything will be fine. Firstly: there will be no, and secondly: not good.

To begin with, you should take into account that placing the site on sites like "ucoz" you cut yourself off from all and all ratings. No search engine will not enter a site hosted on a free hosting in its directory and search output will approach the first hundred requests. Those. Your site will never (the word "never" be emphasized and framed) will not be in the top ten of the issue.

Consider the situation when a private entrepreneur Peter from the city of Kozyatin, who sells salutes and pyrotechnics decides to open his own online store. At the same time, the minimum task is to increase the number of customers in the offline store, and the maximum task is to sell salvage units for many thousands of dollars. per month. But since our businessman somewhere heard that the site can be created for free, and you can place it for free and you can make a domain name for free - he happily runs to ucoz.ru, forgetting the proverb about free cheese. But the joy of our entrepreneur Peter does not know the limit, because the word "free" beckons him, eclipsing the mind. But if it's reasonable to approach the issue, our entrepreneur will long search for his site in search results on the request "fireworks to buy Kozyatin" and is unlikely to see in the first hundred. Because no free hosting does not participate in the ranking.

Myth two: other people's ads do not distract visitors. Banners getting out in the most inappropriate places, with the advertisement of the hoster, do not just distract target visitors of the site - they also irritate (this at the best) or lead potential customers to other sites. Hosting provider in this way earns money, but for our entrepreneur - this is a big minus in income.

Myth three: free technical support. So, our lovely businessman Peter sat for two evenings at the computer, posted photos with beautiful fireworks and began to wait for a lot of visitors, but an unexpected happened - the site stopped working. For all attempts to get through to him, only short beeps answered, and the letters he wrote were counted in dozens - and no reaction. After that, our entrepreneur was offended by the ukoz and decided to spend some money on normal hosting. Comparing the prices, he chose the cheapest option and decided that now everything will be fine. But in one not quite perfect day, our entrepreneur did something with the site and he stopped working. Although, of course, he was warned that there is no need to change anything in the control panel. As the site has already become not free, (with the removal of Peter left, and for the development of the site had to pay), then our entrepreneur did not want to re-pay the work of the web design studio to create the site. He decided to restore the site, but did not find backup copies of the site, no matter how hard he tried.

Myth Four: archiving and restoring the site. Only on high-quality hosting you will be helped to restore the site after the collapse or attack of hackers. It must be remembered that both do not happen often, but not at the right time. And who knows how many visitors left from you to competitors, while your site did not work. Moreover, you can go to the competitors on the Internet without crossing the road, but simply by pressing a couple of times with the left mouse button. Since the prices for sites are not so small, then ordering each time a new site does not make sense.

So, our long-suffering businessman Peter changed two hosting, had a lot of problems, was left without a lot of nerves, only because no one explained to him that good hosting is a lot for the site.

The choice of the right hosting depends on the work of your site, and hence its profitability.
