Budget hosting - Getting started guide

Budget hosting - Getting started guide

This is a quick summary of how to find a budget host, followed
by more detailed discussion for those who are interested.

This guide is meant for those who:

- Need a modest hosting plan for a site for a nonprofit / small
business / personal / etc.

- Have a budget for hosting of about $8 a month or under -
perhaps well under.

- Want a free standing hosting plan (not a reseller plan to
aggregate several such sites).

- Find a free plan or ISP web space doesn't meet their needs.

- Don't expect lots of extras or handholding.

THE SHORT VERSION:

Well run, reliable hosts can find it worthwhile to offer plans
for those with limited needs and budget. Some can make money
doing it. Others find that it's a way to bring in new clients
whose needs will grow over time.

It's good advice to avoid offers that are too good to be true -
you often won't get what you were promised, and neither will the
rest of the horde of bargain hunters that overwhelm the host's
servers with their sites. But that's not what we're talking
about here. You can get a good host on a budget.

- First, try to get some sense of the features, space, and
bandwidth you'll need. If you can come up with even a rough
idea, it will help.

- Second, identify some good candidates for hosting. There are
enough listed in this article to save you time in coming up with
some candidates.

- Third, look for reviews of potential hosts from actual users.
As with a restaurant, the quality of a host has a lot to do with
the way it's managed. New hosts might or might not be good; and
established hosts can go downhill if the management doesn't
consistently stay on top of things. Service isn't always
perfect, but what separates the good hosts from the bad is how
often there are problems, and how the host handles things when
something goes wrong.

- Search WebHostingTalk.com. Do a Search of the Web Hosting
Forum at WebHostingTalk.com, by searching on the host name.
Don't search on "All Open Forums" - you'll get too
many results that aren't relevant. You might try a couple
variations to allow for different ways people spell - with or
without spaces between the words in the name, for example.

- Use FindMyHosting.com to find hosts and reviews of hosts.
Their Advanced Search page lets you specify a lot of options,
but often it's best not to narrow it unnecessarily. Just enter
your budget and location, and use the "List By Highest
Customer Rating" option in the lower right corner. Also,
see below for more discussion of FindMyHosting.com

- Google the host's name, and variations of it, to see what
turns up.

Neither of these approaches will find good information on every
host, or has all the info on the host - unfortunately, that site
doesn't seem to exist. Many of the hosts mentioned below aren't
listed on FindMyHosting.com. But these resources should help you
narrow the list to current good prospects for hosting.

Some U.S. budget hosts that seem promising so far, based on a
January 2005 search, roughly in order of price:

E-rice.net - starts at
$10/year, features should be good enough for simple sites. No
backups, though, so keep that in mind if you have content that
changes.

Doorhost.net - plans start at
$20/yr.

HostPC - Budget package
starts at $25/year.

T
otalchoice
- budget plan at $4/month.

Site5

Lunarpages

Dreamhost

Efextra.net - budget
windows hosting starting from $4.95/month.

Links

As you might have discovered, most of the web hosting
directories on the web are advertising driven - there are no
real reviews there. Here are a few places to look for info:

- FindMyHosting.
com's Advanced Search page

- Web Hosting Reviews - not
particularly focused on inexpensive hosting, but a number of
useful articles and a list of hosts. The Related Sites page has
a number of other useful links and sites as well.

- You can sometimes find a good price on a good host or domain
registrar at Fa
tWallet
or the Anandtech Hot Deals forums - search for host,
hosting, domain, and so on.

If you do find a particular site valuable when choosing a host,
you might try to sign up via their links so they get the
referral credit.

DISCUSSION

Narrowing the search:

1. User Forum. A forum discussing the host's features and any
issues that arise can be very useful. You can often find answers
to questions that aren't in the host's help pages, without
needing to contact support. It also gives you a sense for the
kind of people you're dealing with.

2. A whois search on the domain name of the host might give you
a sense for whether they look reliable and established.

3. Money back guarantees. Many people recommend choosing a host
with a money back guarantee. Maybe. I'd recommend choosing a
host where you won't need the guarantee, if you can! Often it
isn't worth chasing, if you turn out to need it.

4. Features. It's a little hard to say precisely which features
you'll need for your site, but:

- You can do a nice little site with: Linux hosting, php, mySQL
databases (multiple tables or databases), htaccess control,
several email boxes, email forwarding, and webmail.

- With that, you can run quite a few things; but if you're new
to hosting you may want some preinstalled or auto installed
scripts, too.

- Control panel. A poorly designed control panel (such as the
one at 1and1) can make it slow and unwieldy to administer a
site.

- Subdomains (help.mydomain.net, store.mydomain.net) can be nice
to have.

- Multiple domains. If you need to host more than one domain
name (mydomain.net, myotherdomain.org), be sure to check if the
plan allows that.

You probably don't need (and can't get, on the really
inexpensive plans) SSH, root access, or detailed DNS server
setup - though if you know what it is you can decide for
yourself!

5. Service and support. Look for a reasonable turnaround time
(depending on the problem) and basic courtesy (always). And
personally, I'd rather have them warn me in adaance about
changes and downtime, than worry about how quickly they respond
when my site goes down or some new "feature" they
installed makes something stop working. Think about what's fair
to expect at the price of the plan you're looking at. In any
case, don't ask for a lot of handholding - use the forums for
that.

6. Does it feel right? This might not work for everyone, but
many people get a sense of whether it's a company they want to
do business with. Sometimes it's a good feeling, sometimes it's
a bad feeling. Don't sign on with anyone who doesn't seem
capable and straightforward. Contrary to what some people may
think, hosting is not a commodity business. There is intense
competition, but the quality of management makes some firms a
better choice than others.

Domain names

Like others, I always register my domain names at somewhere
other than my host, even if it costs more. That allows me to
very quickly change hosts if there's a problem with the site for
an unacceptably long time. Changing hosts can often be done in a
matter of hours, if need be - see the Changing hosts with Almost NO Downtime thread on
WebHostingTalk.com.

Look in the Domain Name Discussions forum for comments on domain
registrars. As of January 2005, people seem to recommend
godaddy, namecheap or maybe domainsite for inexpensive and
reasonably reliable registrations.

The basics

For those new to hosting:

- You will get a shared hosting plan, at this budget. Your site
will be one of many on the physical server it is hosted on.

- You will have varying degrees of control and features
(depending on the plan you choose), but something less than full
control.

- Your site may be affected by the usage of other sites on your
server.

None of this is likely to be an acute or long term problem, if
you choose a good host.

You may be able to host a couple small sites on one hosting
plan, if you don't mind administering them through one control
panel, and your plan allows multiple domains.

If you have several sites you plan to oversee, you may be better
off getting a reseller plan to host them all.

FindMyHosting.com

Note that FindMyHosting.com does not list every host. In fact,
it only lists those hosts who are currently paying it a referral
fee for new clients who find a host using FindMyHosting.com

Some people will have the knee-jerk reaction that's inherently
bad. And, it does have some drawbacks:

- Some good hosts don't like to pay referral fees, or would just
rather get clients by word of mouth. They won't be in the
FindMyHosting.com listings.

- Hosts who get terrible feedback may end their arrangement. All
that useful feedback disappears.

But getting a fee if a client finds a host using the site does
not completely undermine the fundamental idea of having honest
host reviews, as long as they aren't favoring one host over
another, and aren't trying to make them all look good. There are
clearly some candid reviews at FindMyHosting.com. And
FindMyHosting.com has bills to pay, too - depending on how much
the fee is, it's not unreasonable for them to get paid.

As always, you need to read the reviews with a critical eye. But
FindMyHosting.com is a good supplement to the inevitably
anecdotal evidence you often find by turning up a few forum
posts here and there about a host.

A note on web host reviews

All comments and reviews of hosts - positive and negative - need
to be looked at with a critical eye. And while they might not be
exactly reflective of the truth - that doesn't mean they aren't
valuable. In addition, if interpreted right, they seem to be a
useful way to judge the frequency of problems and the way a host
handles them. To the extent you can, it's good to assess whether
somebody understands hosting; had reasonable expectations; and
took a reasonable approach to solving the problem. If so, I can
empathize with them getting "emotional" if the host
can't fix the problem in a reasonable amount of time. That is,
maybe people get motivated to post reviews when they've had a
problem - but most people aren't going to post the first time
they have a little problem, either. It's usually a big problem
that they've had real trouble getting solved.

Also, there are no doubt some unreliable positive comments, too
- people that haven't been with a host long enough to tell, and
people that are not completely independent of the hosts. So
don't believe all the good reviews, either!

Why this article?

Some of this may seem obvious to the more experienced readers.
Sure, lots of people throw out a recommendation to search forums
- but search on what? And for how long? Similarly, just
mentioning FindMyHosting.com doesn't really help much. This
article would have saved me several hours when I first started
looking.

And for those who can't help but say "Price isn't
everything" - there are decent hosts for these needs and
budget. Paying more will not necessarily get you a host that
does a better job for these needs.

I cant host multiplayer matches on xbox live?

If i try to host a game everyone says "its lagging" and they leave my game. I have Verizon dsl and I use a wrieless router with an xbox360 wireless network adapter.

I think the problem is that DSL connection's are fast but not a fast as a cable connection, and without a cable modem you will lag when you are trying to host on xbox live, don't sweat it you can still play on it..
