What is web hosting?
In order to have your website accessible to everyone on the Internet, it needs to be permanently online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on a suitable web server which can handle client requests. Some the most important factors which should be considered for web hosting are:
- Reliability i.e. disaster recovery plan, preventative maintenance etc.
- Network the server resides in i.e. the capacity and average load can determine the speed at which your pages are delivered to the person requesting them.
- Server specification i.e. amount of resources can play a part in performance
- Software and what version i.e. stability, upgrades etc.
Cheap web hosting and freebies often make sacrifices on reliability, performance and accessibility which ultimately, has a negative impact on your businesses online precence.

Windows or Linux hosting?
As a general rule of thumb for a simple HTML website, there is little difference with either solution as both provide a suitable web server and can deliver web pages to clients. However for more advanced websites such as eCommerce or Content Management System (CMS) websites utilising web databases and server-scripting languages such as PHP we would recommend the Linux option as this provides the greatest reliability, scalability and flexibility.
