Now that the internet has gained popularity and become a commodity service, home-based businesses have also grown in numbers each year. Many of these businesses have set up their own websites to promote different products and services online. You don't need to purchase you own computer hardware, or manage your own web server because you can find companies that offer web hosting services.

Providing administration services and certain level of security to your website are just some of the duties of a hosting service. There are many hosting services that you can choose from. You may even find a free hosting service, but that is not highly recommended for home-based businesses. You need an advertising-free hosting service. There may be low-priced deals, but your domain will be assigned to a subdirectory of such web hosting providers. This will only make your URL longer and encourage potential customers to forget your web address.

Since most internet service providers (ISPs) also offer web hosting services, you may want to ask your current provider. There are major considerations you should note when you sign for a web hosting account: the technical support, the disk storage, and the data transfer rate or bandwidth. Remember that when your website goes down, you incur losses during down time. You have to ensure that you can talk to somebody in the hosting service company when this happens.

You may not need a bigger storage if there will only be simple web pages on your site. But in case you plan to expand in the future, it pays to get a package with more disk storage. You also have to consider the amount of bandwidth that your hosting service will provide. You should look for web hosting providers that don't charge too much for bandwidth use in excess of the allocation in your account.
