Why you should get business email hosting for your business

Email Hosting Services
Email Hosting Services
The best way of creating a favorable impression on any business client is by making use of business email hosting. Usage of formal business emails with the appropriate language makes sure that communication is kept professional. A certain level of professionalism is necessary to convey the serious intentions of any business. At the same time, business email addresses also impart a degree of personalisation to ensure effective communication.

Small businesses may initially start off by making use of free online addresses such as Gmail, but owners of these companies would soon realize that using personal domain name would impart a distinct identity. Access to business emails can be obtained through online mail clients such as Eudoramail, Outlook and Outlook Express. Some email server hosting companies also provide their own mail clients, with a promise of filtering of spam. In addition, email clients can also be synchronized across multiple devices such as smartphones and tablets, so that important information can be accessed even while on the move.

Steps to consider while selecting new email services

Before selecting a particular email server hosting company, it is important to evaluate what is really required for the business, based upon current system analytics and usage statistics. Parameters such as size of attachments, space for inbox storage and others need to be known. As an example, if separate calendar applications, address book programs and task management systems are being used at present, it may be possible to choose a mail client that integrates all three.

Apart from physically moving data stored in emails, there could be other systems and processes that also may be affected by migration to business email hosting. If there are major steps to be taken for redirection of auto replies, installation of new system status messages and conflicts with interdependent systems, such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM) must be undertaken in time.

Training on new email services must not be ignored

One cannot assume that users will be able to understand everything without training. Classroom-based training or handouts would be necessary for acquainting employees with the new system. Migration may not be the best idea while in the midst of a big marketing campaign, for example. It should be mentioned here that no matter what a business email hosting company, no service provider can provide 100 per cent uptime. But providing uptime close to 100 per cent would be encouraging for a business.

Tips to Find the Most Reliable Partner for Your Web Hosting Needs

Web Hosting Services
Web Hosting Services
Creation of websites requires substantial investment in design expertise and energy from web designers and business owners. Once the website is made, web hosting services are required to put up the portal on the internet. For this, the usage and maintenance of a server also has to be considered, depending on the type of hosting plan. Internet from the company that gives hosting services in India must be secure and capable of handling high speed data transfers. Unnecessary hurdles in terms of speed and space should not be encountered by the business. In addition, 24-hour technical support, in the form of either phone support, email or chats, must be available.

Few large organisations may require auto respondent emails to be sent to clients. Before signing on a hosting company, it must be checked whether the same facility is available with the provider or not. Budget must not be the only criteria while choosing a website hosting company. While searching on the internet for hosting providers, it may be easy to believe that the companies that are listed high on search engines are the most reliable. But this is not the only decider for the quality of hosting provided. Different customer reviews are important for choosing reliable hosting services in India. In addition, it also depends on the experience of the business owners. However, a person looking to set up a small business would have to scrutinize the website hosting company more carefully.

Choosing the website hosting company that matches business needs

Business owners need to be clear on whether the website is for personal use or for commercial purposes. A website hosting company provides different packages based on the same. For example, if one looks to put up a professional blog, the cost to host it would be much lesser than a website needed to sell multiple products online. Sometimes, hosting companies do tend to confuse the personal user by giving a name such as 'expert plan'. For business users, two options are usually listed, namely 'business plus' or 'unlimited pro'.

What to do if there are doubts about the hosting services in India

Even after checking the prices of available hosting, one may not be sure of the service levels from a website hosting company. In such a case, it is most suitable to check the testimonials from previous clients. A reputed hosting company would have been in the market for a number of years. Speaking to clients directly may also give the exact picture, to further ascertain if the hosting company will be able to meet business needs or not. Certain companies providing web hosting services also offer website hosting services, but this may not be very suitable for a business.

Why You need to choose best web hosting for your online business

Hosting Services
Hosting Services
Internet is the basis of operations for almost every company in the world of technology and therefore many different web hosting companies are present in the market today. Since there are a large number of options, it is important to choose the right company for hosting a website at an affordable price. It is important that the internet connection provided by the hosting service providers is secure and remains connected to the web. Unnecessary hurdles should not be created in the business by the website hosting company. Based on the requirements, different hosting plans are available.

Different type of website hosting plans

The most affordable options are the individual hosting plans, especially for a small business. These plans can be obtained for a period of 2-3 years. Individual web hosting plans are also known as shared hosting plans, since space and bandwidth are shared between different webmasters. If the size of businesses is big enough, a switch can be made to dedicated servers. Dedicated server plans provide many more features as compared to individual hosting plans. As the name sounds, data is not shared between various webmasters, which in turn offer faster net speed and accessibility, along with greater security. However, businesses will need to spend a significant amount on the maintenance of these servers.

Apart from the above two, the third type of web hosting plan is known as reseller accounts. This occupies a position between individual and dedicated hosting, since it allows the usage of multiple individual plans within a single account. It can be used for businesses that need to run many small websites.

How to select a particular web hosting plan

Now that the type of website hosting plans have been described, it is important to choose one, based on the requirements of an online business. One such factor is the availability of budget. It is advisable to not take up a free hosting plan, since these may be unreliable and costs are often minimized with the application of several on-site advertisements. Customer reviews are also helpful in choosing reliable hosting service providers. Apart from the above, 24-hour technical support, through email, chats or phone, are also indispensable for the success of a hosting plan. Support plays an important role in minimizing potential damage to a business, in the event of downtime. One can check for the availability of technical support resources before committing to a particular plan.

If multiple domains are being chosen, the availability of the same, along with bandwidth allocation, needs to be checked. The charging method for such web hosting plans must also be verified, which could be a one-time fee, monthly charges or any other.

Factors to be Considered while Selecting the Windows Hosting Service

Windows Hosting Services
Windows Hosting Services
Creating a website is an effective tool for promotion of any business. The portal also helps in generating higher brand awareness and to tap the potential of global clients. However, this portal does need to be hosted using web hosting services, before it is accessible worldwide. Making the right hosting choice could be a tough decision, due to the options available in the market today. Stability of a website, 24x7 online presence and consequently, success of the online business would depend on the type and quality of web hosting.

Choosing proper web hosting services

At the beginning, the online business owner has to decide which type of web server would be most suitable as per his company requirements, especially in terms of  disk volume and  available bandwidth. In a small business, for example, basic web hosting services are adequate. Shared server plans, wherein data is stored on a server location common to other clients as well, are inexpensive and sufficient for the above type of business. A medium-sized business may require a dedicated hosting plan, while cloud servers are best for large businesses.

In order to take care of complex web applications, which need a resourceful web environment, a shared hosting plan would not be suitable. In such a case, reputed companies sign up for Virtual Private Servers (VPS) hosting. Each VPS account has its own operating system, along with resources to ensure its isolation from other projects and data security.

Windows hosting compared to Linux hosting

After choosing the hosting server, the next step is to choose an appropriate operating system. Two solutions are most commonly used here, namely windows hosting and linux hosting. The choice to be made here is not very challenging, since the operating system depends on programming language and scripts in use for creation of websites. For example, if based on ASP or ASP.NET scripts and other Microsoft products, Windows becomes an obvious choice. But if web projects have been created using PHP, Perl, CGI, Python and similar open-source technologies, Linux assures optimum compatibility and performance.

In general, each and every company or business cannot manage its own IT staff and infrastructure, which implies that management-based web hosting services are more economical for them. Typically, the hosting company takes up complete responsibility for all technical processes such as initial server setup, reboots, configurations, application installation, security patches, checking the server performance, ports security as well as virus protection. On the other hand, if there are adequate resources to manage IT staff who would ensure appropriate server management as well as maintenance, then it is not necessary to pay extra money for managed services. This way, the virtual environment always remains under the company's control.

It is difficult to determine whether Linux hosting is better than Windows hosting as both comes with their own share of advantages and disadvantages. However, to get an answer to your question you should compare both the hosting types on the following parameters.

  1. Price:  In case of website hosting price should not be a major consideration, however Linux being an open source and affordable hosting service is more preferred than Windows hosting due to lower cost and ease of use.
  2. Security: In terms of security, Linux is more secure, however, hosting based on Windows platform can also be secure but it all depends on the administrator.
  3. Performance: In terms of performance, both the website hosting services offers optimum performance when managed by an experienced administrator.
  4. Reliability: Linux hosting is considered to be more reliable than windows as it can run several scripts irrespective of the platform used to develop the website. Whereas in case of Windows hosting, it can run windows based scripts like ASP and .Net.

Currently, there are many service providers available in the market and some of them are even ready to offer services at cheap rates.

Making a wrong choice is not an option in the online business as one might have to face a lot of unfavorable consequences.

Firstly, consider the space the service provider is offering according to the scale of the targeted audience for the business, size of the site and additional function on the site. If affordability is not an issue then it is advisable to go for unlimited space and bandwidth size. On the other hand, if one has a tight budget then it would be ideal if the service provider can offer enough space at affordable cost. Another very crucial factor is the speed because sites which take forever to load have a very high bounce rate.

Bandwidth is also one of the pivotal factors that is very critical for the success of a website as it is directly related to the functionality of the website. If a web hosting company does not provide enough bandwidth irrespective of cheap cost, it is not recommended to avail its services. Sometimes the traffic on the site might cross the regular threshold, in that case website must have proper traffic handling capacity. In some cases web hosting companies use low prices to attract people and subsequently put unnecessary as well as irrelevant advertisements on the website to make more money. This not only kills the charm and appeal of the site bit also makes it look disorganized and reduce the chances of a re-visit by visitors. Therefore, owners should make sure that the advertisements posted by the web hosting company do not hamper the site's credibility.
Script and database being used by the provider is another determining factor, which needs attention. The data uploading is directly based on the FTP support. Also, keep in mind that the provider is able to offer efficient customer service and check the reliability of the hosting company before starting with its services.
