Building Your Business Online Series Part 2 Choosing a Hosting Package

July 11, 2008 :: cbensen

In the first part of this series, we talked about choosing a domain name. We chose the address for your website. The next step is to choose the hosting package. Your web site is hosted physically on a server. The web hosting provider maintains the server & makes sure to provide the technology so that your website is connected to the internet.

Which hosting package that you’ll need will depend on two things:

1. The amount of content that you plan to have will dictate the amount of disk space needed

2. The amount of customers accessing your website & downloading content will determine the bandwidth you need.

The nice thing about web hosting packages is that you can start with one then shift to a larger one as your online business grows. Network Solutions offers you assistance in choosing which package best suits your needs. We have more indepth information here on Web Hosting.
