The Unlimited Bandwidth Banshee.

A number of web site hosting companies offer huge (or unlimited) bandwidth allowances at rock-bottom prices. Be wary of such offers. All bandwidth has to be paid for by someone. The fact is that most hosting services make the most profit from small, bandwidth friendly (low traffic) sites. Some companies offering huge data transfer quotas incorporate interesting "load balancing" techniques once your site does start experiencing heavy traffic flows. The end result is that if other web sites hosted on the same server need resources, your web site loses them and your site visitors may start experiencing massive slowdowns or other mysterious happenings. This topic will be further explored in the next article in this series.

Web site hosting is a partnership

If you receive incomplete responses, curt remarks etc - no matter how good the offer may look on the web, give it careful consideration. There would be nothing worse than to open an account with a domain hosting service who really doesn't give a damn about you. The sales process is where the company should be on their best behaviour!

In the next article we will delve a bit deeper into reviewing web hosts before signing on the dotted line with some further questions to ask and more technical/economic points to consider.

Choosing the right web host is crucial to the success of your online presence - it should be viewed as an important partnership/alliance between both parties.
