How to choose a Good hosting Package?

Choosing a web host and after that choosing a good hosting plan can be very difficult job.325x250 let us guide you some thing in choosing the hosting package that suits your needs.  When you basically look at your website and enterprise you can get a rough idea of what exactly do you need. you should look for the space, bandwidth, and email accounts. these are some basic things that needs to be addressed at First. If you want to calculate the size you need for your website it is simple.Just make a total space used by the files given below:
html Webpages ,Image files, installed programs,Emails stored on server,server logs.

It is not that simple either, if you choose to buy a hosting plan with 10 MB plan and an incoming mail to your email id contains an attachment of 10 MB, your account space is used and you cant even send, recieve nor even host your web pages. You should be very good in understanding your future requirements also.

Lets check what for bandwidth?

Now the bandwidth is the amount of the data that can be send by your website to the website visitors on monthly basis. You can simply take it as fuel in your car, if fuel runs out your car is of no use. Simlilarly if the bandwidth runs out nobody will be able to visit your website. Statics shows that more than 95 % of the websites do not use bandwidth more than 500 MB monthy.

Planning your bandwidth consist of the email accounts volume, images used, audio and video streaming on the website.Please do not pay attentions to the scheme such as unlimited bandwidth.

Email accounts.

This completely depends upon the your organisation and needs. how many people are working in the organisation. You should plan for some extra space and bandwidth if you think you will need high amount of email accounts.

User should insist using pop up clients to reduce the need for more space needed on the server. Simply speaking if you keep all the mails on the server then can you imagine the space needed to store this mails. most of the space will be hired by the emails storage itself. using pop a POP client to download all the mails from the server to your local machine will resuce your space on the server. POP client such as Outlook Express, netscape, Eudora, Thunderbird can be used.
