Choosing the Right Website Hosting for Your Site

You've reached the point where you want your own website on your own website hosting company. You want control but you're not sure of the best way to go about making this major decision: How do I find the right website hosting for my needs?

Website Hosting - Quality, Value and Reliability

The good news is that Xtra Internet will give you value for money while being reliable and reliable, and we'll assist you with your questions and problems along the way. Website hosting is a competitive industry and users are becoming more sophisticated. As a result website hosting services have improved as website hosting companies try harder to compete for business.

Website Hosting Features

Start by making a list of what you need from your website hosting. This will probably include platform, speed, accessibility, reliability, support & service and price. Xtra Internet will be happy to discuss these with you, and help you decide on a website hosting package that will offer you the features you need at a price you can afford.

Website Hosting Prices

The cost of website hosting varies from zero, for a basic personal website, to hundreds of pounds a month for a dedicated server. For most, however, the mainstream offerings at around £10-50 per month will suffice, depending on the features your website needs.

Some believe that there are three types of website hosting companies: free hosts, cheap hosts and good hosts - and this is something we empathise with. We believe in offering value for money without compromising on features, stability or reliablility and we have worked hard to create website hosting packages and pricing that reflect this. And, of course, as your needs change you may upgrade at any time.

Website Hosting - Linux or Windows?

There is no real question of which platform is better or worse, it's more a case of choosing the website hosting solution to suit the kind of website you have. A basic website with standard HTML pages and no scripts or databases will run perfectly well on either.

However, if your website uses databases or ASP, for example, then you should go with Windows website hosting package.

Xtra Internet uses high-performance Windows servers, configured for all common scripting and database functionality.
