CLAIMING A PLACE IN THE WEB

So you already have that dream website completed in your head and are ready to claim your stake in the World Wide Web… But how do you go about the process of joining the Internet community and creating your very own website?

The first step in the process is knowing your web hosting costs so you can start shopping for an appropriate hosting company. Web hosting costs refer to the services and features that you are paying for when enlisting for a web hosting plan.

Web hosting prices are actually made up of several products grouped into hosting packages for you to choose from. Breaking down web hosting prices into their separate elements allows you to choose only the features and services that you will actually use. Knowing your web hosting costs and what are you actually paying for protects you from having to pay additional charges for features you do not really need.

BASIC HOSTING SERVICES

Here is a basic breakdown of web hosting costs:

Web size and bandwidth – Web size hosting costs depend on how much space you need for your website and how much data can you upload to your site at any given time. This actually determines what you can put and how much of it can you fit into website.

If your site has a lot images or applications like games, it will be better to choose a plan that provides a bigger space so you have more room to be more creative. Web size is also important if you expect a high volume of visitors. Web size and bandwidth are the biggest factors affecting your web hosting costs.

Domain registration and hosting – If you already have a domain name registered then all you have to pay for is the domain name hosting. Domain refers to the actual address or name of your website.

Email accounts – A web hosting plan provides you with your own email account that allows you to receive and send emails via your website. More email accounts will add to you web hosting cost.

These three are usually basic to web hosting plans; all other features are optional and value-added, depending on whether your website is for personal or commercial use.
