Mainly, when we host a web page in service hosting, we usually get a series of questions (some more than others than the obvious ignorance or be clear), las cuales deberian dejarnos claro que es lo que necesitamos contratar realmente.
1. We want to stay?
Not the same host a corporate website of a company selling plastic containers that, personal experience, will get between 5 and 10 visitied day, to host an application for a company, un foro, CMS, etc. Each of the pages we host will require a resource (either transfer or disk espacietcn) or other, so we have to take into account the maximum resources that we need to reach medium-term: disk space that we occupy, Monthly Transfer, number of domains to host, number of email accounts you need, etc.
2. In what language we want to have our website?
This is of utmost importance, Most forums, CMSs and intranets are developed in PHP, but instead, Our installment buyings is possible that application is made in Ruby On Rails or ASP.NET or is a corporate website may only need HTML or XHTML (markup language that browsers understand).
3. Therefore, on which operating system?
Well, from the previous question will have the following:
- ASP.NET -> Windows
- PHP -> Linux on Windows
- Ruby On Rails -> Linux on Windows (depending on the installed plugins)
- HTML to XHTML -> Linux on Windows
Windows is usually a bit more expensive than Linux plans, so if only one domain and only hospedais requeris html, PHP o Ruby un plan Linux es lo que necesitáis, clearly.
4. They want to have control panel?
Normalmente para Hosting con sistemas Linux recomendamos Plesk o CPanel y para sistemas Windows Plesk.
Plesk is more focused on user level without much knowledge as it is more intuitive graphically, Cpanel have yet another set of options that we can do very well if our knowledge is medium or high. We can also find the control panel is tailor-made for / by the service provider or some free license as ISPConfig.
5. They think that we transfer?
Obviously depend on the factors; The first factor is the number of visits that we, The second factor is the number of email accounts you will use. For example, Joomla CMS with an average 20 visits / day (600 visits / month) can generate approximately 800Mb and 1000Mb (1Gb) The transferencia. If we add a 4 email accounts with a "normal" use this value can safely fold, about 2000MB (2Gb) Monthly Transfer. Of course you never stick to the load, always looking for a hosting that gives you something to go transfer olgaditos (just in case).
6. What we need disk space?
Disk space is relative to the use to which it will give. Keep in mind that the mail account such as disk space, so if you plan to have IMAP accounts (IMAP is a protocol that downloads mail to the computer but not deleted from the server to express order, proboca you use this much disk space on the hosting) disk usage will be important. For Joomla CMS as discussed in the previous section more 4 or 5 email account disk space might be between 0'5Gb and 1Gb (Joomla + Database would use between 60Mb and 150Mb).
7. We want to spend much money?
Sometimes it is not all that glitters gold and get what you pay. I recommend choosing a hosting Spanish, aunque el servicio puede ser igual la atención y soporte serán mucho mejores en España. In brief, should know exactly what is needed to choose a hosting our needs idioneo. Prices today are affordable enough to be able to choose from a wide range of vendors turn a wide range of plans hosting.
