How To Get Cheap and Reliable Web Hosting & Domains - Cobra Hoster
I have been a web developer for nearly two decades and in that time, I have tried various web hosting providers for my e-commerce websites. Unfortunately, most of the web hosting companies were a big disappointment, some were good enough for a few months, Cobra Hosting is a company in the USA that provides Hosting and domain services at very moderate rates. The businesses preserve making updates and offer additional offerings to satisfy the desires of the customers.
Webhosting talk
look at some forums like Webhosting talk and see what people
write about a chosen host. There are heaps of experts who know what they are
talking about. There is also a discussion forum where you can post anything you
want and many companies compete for the best deals. Go to a company that is not
too big but not too small either. If it's a one-man show, you have no way of
knowing what the guy is doing with your files unless someone is looking over
his shoulder.
Check availability time
If you are already working with an ISP, don't give away all
your sites right away. Try a few weeks or at least a few days first. Use online
tools to check availability time. Make a list of your needs in advance. For
example, if you need shell access (ssh), there is no reason to try a trick and
like it, but then you need shell access and it is not available. For those who
do not need shell access, it may be better to choose a number that does not
offer it, as this will provide more security.
Choose a brand-new host
If you choose a brand-new host, check if they offer a
maximum 30-day money-back guarantee. However, there is often a problem
including seasonal rating, which means that you will not get compensation for
the time you use the hosts. Of course, this is in the fine print, so make sure
there is a full money-back guarantee. Also, if you don't live in the US and are
buying places online from a US agent, you could lose money if the price drops
due to currency conversion. So, it's probably better to pay for a single month
instead of 12 months, even if it's cheaper.
Long-term host
If you are looking for a long-term host, choose a host that
has been in business for several years. Internet web hosting tends to disappear
immediately due to the unscrupulous nature of this business. Check the site's PageRank
(it should be at least 3 or 4) and visit the Way Back Machine at archive.org to
see how long the site has been online. Even if you just want to test it, ask a
few questions during the trial period. This way you can see how competent they
are and how quickly they respond.
Buying domains
If you're a smaller employer, it certainly doesn't hurt to
ask for a one-time offer or discount. Some even offer free domains with apps.
However, to be extremely neutral, I prefer the separation of web space and
domain names. For buying domains, I recommend Namecheap, dotster, and GoDaddy.
Don't pay more than $15 per year or you will lose your money. So generally,
there is not always an honestly perfect web hosting provider on the internet.
