Website hosting – Your key to success!

Website hosting is a service that ensures your website is up and running on internet. It is like registering an automobile with the regulations agency that allows the car to be on the road. A website is comprised of various files that contains your images, content and other functional codes. To work properly and display what you have as products and services; these files are interlinked with eachother and has to be on the same web hosting platform.

Importance of Website Hosting:

When you plan on creating/ launching a website, it is vital that you pay attention to the details of your web hosting plan. You can either have “Shared Hosting” or “Dedicated Hosting”. A shared hosting plan can be used when you have a simple website where you want to display your products and services for informational use or you’re a personal blogger. This kind of hosting is much economical and simpler to use. On the other hand, Dedicated Hosting is required when you have an Ecommerce website or your website is complex enough to have a Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Point of Sale (POS) System or some heavy database. This type of hosting can be cloud-based and requires much more space to upload those heavy data files. Dedicated Hosting is much faster to run and operate a website. It definitely costs more money

Security aspect of Website Hosting:

You can either have Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or non-SSL hosting plans. Normally non-SSL plans are used when you are not doing any financial transactions and no sensitive and critical information like credit card information is required on a website. It is always recommended to have SSL-based website hosting plans when running an Ecommerce website or while exchanging sensitive information like credit cards, DOB, SIN, login credentials, etc. With a non-SSL certificate

Benefits of using “good” Website Hosting Plan:

You can think of all the good things about a good website hosting plan. Here are some points that I feel should be considered when looking for a website hosting company and it’s plans;

• Clarity on Prices It is important to know what exactly it would cost for the kind of service you are getting. Website Hosting plans vary from $50-$500+ CAD per year. Many business owners do not evaluate the pros and cons of their web hosting plans and often end up either having a web-hosting plan not fulfilling their requirements or paying higher for not even utilizing the plan at full. Not to mention the hidden charges. Many companies do not disclose hidden costs upfront. At Dezine Time, we believe in clarity of pricing of our website hosting plans.
