How to Choose the Right Webhosting Plan

Assess your website’s features and needs in choosing web hosting plan.

Consider the checklist for basic needs.

 

How much space do I need?

An average website with 50MB web space is decent enough to survive. You only need more if your website is very big and complicated like Youtube or Facebook. HTML pages are very small file size. It only bloats up for images, videos and if you want others to download. SayoWeb and other hosting companies offer GB webspace. You may think that the webspace is so huge you may not use all of it but in reality, a lot of website owners need more than 1 website. Our hosting plan allows you to host unlimited websites.

 

How much bandwith do I need?

Bandwith. Also known as web traffic is a maximum amount of information you can deliver in a month who surfs your website.1GB works for a normal website but if  you want your website to be popular and you have huge files like videos and MP3s, you need more. You should also consider how many visitors you have per day for calculating bandwith usage.

 

How many Email Accounts I need?

You definitely needs a personal, professional  email address that matches your web address. If you are small to medium sized company, you can use the economy hosting plan with 100 email accounts. But if you need more than 100 email accounts, you can get the deluxe or unlimited hosting plan.

 

How can I publish my Website?

You should consider the ability of the hosting plan to publish your website. You can perfect your website from your local computer then upload it. One way is to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

How to Choose Perfect Domain Name?

What is Domain Name?
Domain Names are originally IP Address that points to a web server. And of course it is hard to type something like this: 67.64.45.457 on your web address so register a domain name, a translation of the IP address which in turns will look like this. http://www.sayoweb.com

Searching for a Name
Your first step should be starting to check the availability of the domain name. Even if you don’t have website yet, you can start registering for a domain name. http://www.sayoweb.com offers very low price domain names to choose. The earlier you register your domain name, the more advantage to you or your business. Old domain names registered for years have higher page rank in Google search. Getting the perfect domain is hard so once you found it’s availability, don’t loose the opportunity. Register it early, then create your website later.

STRATEGIES FOR EFFECTIVE DOMAIN NAME

1. Keep it simple, short and snappy. People nowadays are so busy. Getting people’s attention is hard so try to create a domain name that is easy to remember. It is hard to remember http://www.sayowebhostanddomainnames.com. So instead we use http://www.sayoweb.com. People who forgot to bookmarks the site and would like to come back to visit, need not to search on the net. The name is really easy to remember.

2. The domain name should reflect the purpose of your website.
If you’re planning to use the domain name for a business website, make sure the domain name has significant meaning. Clients will remember easily your domain name. You can use a company name as domain name.

3. Include your keyword to your domain name.
This strategy helps marketing and better SEO (search engine optimization). Example, a product of website, http://www.sayoweb.com is used as domain name.

4. Use .COM first. This is the most common TLD (top level domain). People are more familiar with .com instead of other domain name extensions like .net .org or .biz. If your chosen domain name is not available in .com, the next step is to use .net. If you’re representing an organization then use .org.

5. Do not use hyphen, underscore or any other special characters. It will be uncomfortable for your visitors. If http://www.yourdomain.com is already taken, do not use http://www.your-domain.com. You can add extra words like http://www.sayowebsite.com. Many people are having trouble typing hyphen or underscore on their keyboard.  Sometimes just by adding ‘s’ on domain name will do. For example,  http://www.yourdomains.com. But of course, it depends on what  your product is.

6. Register other domain name extensions. If you registered .com, try registering .net, .org, .info. People will think you are the exclusive owner of the domain name and business.You may not want to have http://www.yourdomain.com then other people  owns the http://www.yourdomain.net. Another great deal, if you register other suggested domain name extensions on http://www.sayoweb.com, you’ll get 32% discount prices for the 3 additional domain names.
