Web Hosting – The Foundation for a Professional Website

July 24, 2014 By rasolis Leave a Comment

In my experience, it often seems like web hosting is left out of the planning or creation of a website.  Website owners and web developers/designers, spend a lot of time in the “design” aspects of a website and sometimes over look the need to pick the right web hosting company.

Not sure if it is a lack of understanding or if they are going with what is popular, but I am sure once, they understand a little more about web hosting, they will make better choices.  Thousands of dollars go into a website design and then they turn around and host it on a $5/mo hosting service.  Nothing wrong with a cheap plan, but if you spent good money on a website, shouldn’t the technology and the infrastructure match the quality of the design?

It’s like building a Ferrari Body then putting it on a Toyota 4 cylinder Frame/Engine.  Why do that?

First of all, all professional websites need quality web hosting.  That means it needs to be fast, reliable and secure.

Recommendations for a quality web host, that by design give a fast, reliable and secure website:

  • Get a Dedicated Virtual Server – it’s so affordable now a days.  Why fight for resources in a shared hosting environment?  If you have to get a shared hosting, select a web hosting company that is dedicated to optimizing the # of customer vs. Maximizing the # of customers on a server.
  • Separate your Email server and go with an email service that is built on a big infrastructure like Google Apps.
  • Use SSD (Solid State Drives) Servers for faster data access
  • Get on a hosting service that is built on a Cloud Architecture. You have multiple physical servers powering your site vs 1 physical server, If one goes out for repair or replacement, you still have the others working.
  • Use web hosting components that are built on it’s own infrastructure.  Most basic web host put you on a server that has all the components installed locally on the same server as your website.  It’s better to have it out on its own multi-server network. For example, instead of using local DNS (local server), use a service like Amazon Route 53 – it’s built on a global infrastructure and very affordable.  Other components that should not be used locally are Email Services; use Amazon Simple Email Service to delivery messages from your website (e.g. contact form).
