CHOOSING A HOSTING PROVIDER

Before You Choose A Hosting Provider

The foundation to a successful Website is a good hosting provider. Most people do not think about hosting.  However, this is an important aspect of your website. A website’s speed, up-time and security are all linked to the hosting service you use. Questions you should ask a hosting provider?
1) Do they monitor their own servers?
2) Does your hosting provider conduct a weekly scan for viruses and malware?
3) Does your hosting provider offer free SSL certificate?
4) Can you purchase a dedicated IP address at a reasonable price?
5) Does your provider offer a daily backup?

The answer to these questions should be “YES”!
