7 Questions to ask yourself before you choose your new Host – Do I get what I pay for?

So as we come to the end of what we hope has been an informative story, we come to what might be the most important element.

Part 8: The Cost

Following on from the Introduction and previous blog posts including last weeks insight into Tools and applications . It’s now time to turn our attention to the price you pay.

Last but not least, pricing is an important factor when choosing a web host. With so many providers out there we know it can be a difficult choice to make, especially when you have to consider all the different variables that go into pricing an individual plan. The general rule of thumb is that you get what you pay for.

If a company is charging a very small monthly fee, they have no choice but to skimp in other areas, perhaps in some of the ways we have highlighted in these blogs.

Another area to be on the lookout for is renewal pricing. Many hosts will offer a significantly discounted price for the first year in order to “get you hooked,” but when renewal time comes, your bill can be up to three times the cost of your first year! Make sure to read what you are buying and what the future pricing is likely to be.

At Netcetera we have simple pricing, no hidden costs or small print and to help you get started we allow you to pay monthly. There is no renewal pricing, what you see is what you get. Our plans start at only £2.99 per month and regardless of which solution you require, each one comes with fantastic reliability, security and awesome support without sacrificing on quality.

Make the right choice for you

As you can see, there are many factors that come into play when choosing a web host. These general factors should help you find the right one, even if it’s not with Netcetera we would still hope you’ll see the tremendous value we provide.

7 Questions to ask yourself before you choose your new Host – Tools and Applications

Part 7: How easy it is it to create your website?

Following on from the Introduction, Longevity and History, Support, Hardware thoughts on Network and the insight into backups we covered last week. It’s now time to turn our attention to the software and systems that are available to allow your creativity to flow and make your dream site a reality.

Just like when you are choosing a new mobile phone or desktop, there are different platforms your web host can use to help you manage your website. Like iOS for iPhones, and Android on other phones, all of the control panels help you do things like adding account users, email addresses, FTP accounts, databases just like you do when setting up a new phone.

So why does this matter? There are many free, unsupported control panels out there, and some are easier to use than others. Play around with your proposed web host. Try out their control panel. See how it works and what questions you have.

At Netcetera you can access 1000’s of one click installations to give you the applications and tools you need to make building your new website as easy as possible with stunning results.

The one-click installations include WordPress, Drupal, or Magento in literally less than a few seconds and most of them are free.

7 Questions to ask yourself before you choose your new Host – Network

Part 5: Network and Connectivity

Following on from the Introduction, Longevity and History, Support and last weeks thoughts on Hardware, now it’s time to look at the Network that your website is running over.

Similar to the type of hardware your website is sitting on, the network it’s connected to is probably even more critical to the performance of your site!

Take a close look at their network, make sure they have an infrastructure that is very stable and offers consistently good speed, check on line independent test sites like Webperf and Netcraft . You need to find out what kind of SLAs (Service Level Agreements) and network up-time guarantees they offer, and what will happen in case of a mishap, and do they have a status page so you can see the uptime?

Think about it; If you have the world’s fastest web server, but the network the server is connected to is very slow, your website is going to appear slow to your visitors and potential clients, since they have to go through the datacentre’s network in order to access the servers your site is on.

In addition to a fast network, your web host should have active security measures in place to be able to handle attacks such as DDOS, and have multiple routes to the internet in the event one goes down. This will ensure your site doesn’t go down with it.

Netcetera Operates N+1 across our business this covers our connectivity, cooling and our power. This means that we have primary and backup to all essential systems including our power generators that run the datacentre in the event of a long term power cut.

Perhaps you are a super nerd in which case, you probably don’t need to read this! and only the bare minimum is needed.

7 Questions to ask yourself before you choose your new Host – History

Part 2 : History and Longevity

Following on from last weeks introduction, a good Managed Hosting Provider will have a strong team of experts available to help you every step of the way, along with a stable online presence.

Do you know how easy it is to set up a web hosting company?
Let’s put it this way – You can start up a web hosting company in less time than it takes to wait for a pizza to be delivered.
To prove the point, we have a Reseller Hosting Package which has been designed for these enterprising individuals and businesses!
But, because it’s so incredibly easy to set yourself up as web hosting company, you should really factor in how long a business has been around. Be sure to look carefully through the “About Us” section of your new potential web host to get a feel for how they operate. Are they hosting in the front and holidays in the rear office ? Do they only work with big business? Are they ready to help you grow as your online presence grows? These are all factors you should take into consideration.

Netcetera for example, has been around since 1996 and currently host clients in over 75 countries, and been financially stable and growing year after year. So, we must be doing something right! In fact, most of our growth has come from customer referrals.

The Top 30 WordPress Templates

Going to build a site? Well, it’s an exciting process, however if you know nothing about coding or web design, it may take quite a long time. In this case, designing a site can turn into a real disaster, and eventually you will find yourself with loads of HTML and CSS code that will be just useless. That is where a ready made template becomes handy. It is a great solution for both experienced WordPress users, beginners or even advanced developers. There is no need to design the site from scratch, just make a few adjustments and upload your content.

For this reason, we decided to gather a collection of the top 30 WordPress bestsellers that will help you build any kind of website quickly and easily. Here you will find solutions for business, portfolio CV, online store, educational sites, etc. All the samples are designed by experienced, highly qualified specialists and ensure a top of the line performance. Thanks to a fully responsive design the themes will automatically adapt to all screen resolutions on the fly, making the content display equally well. In this way, you don’t need to design a separate version of website specially for mobile devices and retina displays. All you need to do is to download the theme and install it onto your CMS.

The themes purchased from the collection also come loaded with a variety of visual effects and functions like parallax, selectable galleries, sliders, accordions, etc. In addition to that, they feature a free lifetime support and in case you experience any issues with the theme performance or installation, you can contact the support centre whenever you need. All these features and a bunch of others are available at a reasonable price, so you can choose the most appropriate package right for your project.
