Business/ECommerce Hosting
Choosing a Shared Web Hosting Plan to run a small business or affiliate program from is an excellent choice. The reason being that it is just so affordable and the quality of the Web Hosting Companies that we have mentioned on this page will give you everything you need to get your affiliate program or small business everything that it needs to operate successfully. Each plan includes large amounts of Web hosting Disk Space, Unlimited domains/subdomains, unliimited email accounts, ftp accounts, SSL certifications to give your customers credit card, echeck, and other payment methods the security they need and deserve. As an affiliate or ecommerce merchant you dont need to worry about the small things that your Shared Web Host will be delivering. The only concern you should have is marketing your goods. Some of the shared hosting plans we have listed on this page offer Google, and Yahoo Marketing discounts and other couponed goods with credit vouchers. Please see each description for more details.
Email Marketing and Web Hosting
Does your personal, or business needs depending on marketing your customers through email campaigns? Never worry... The Shared Web Hosts listed on this page have all stepped up concerning the use of email marketing. By using your ecommerce platform to create a list of your customers email addresses and First and Last Names, you can target your customers through a mass email system that you can find on your CPanel of your web host. By targeting previous customers through email, you can show them your discounted items, your companies latest news, events and more. Whatever the case may be- by emailing your customers you can bring them back to your site.
Database Web Hosting
I have been asked a lot lately about seperating your databases from your web content server-wise speaking. This is an extremely good idea to keep things seperated. Database queries generated by your ecommerce system, blogs, and other dynamic content that needs to run queries to your database requires bandwidth that can make your visitors experience and interactions with your website slow and could even cause image rendering issues. So just pay out that little bit of extra cash and seperate those databases from your web content to make your sites a more enjoyable experience. Not just for that reason alone, but as a computer programmer and a web developer for intwebserver our company has ('ethical') white-hat hackers to distinguish easily compromisable situations on websites and web services- it has been known that seperating your data from your web server means that a hacker would have a tougher time locating your data.
Programming and Web Development
Web Host Galore has partnered with I.N.T. Web Server - this means that along with not only giving you the best in Web Hosting Reviews, we can now offer Computer Programming, Web Development, Web Service Building, Data Migrations, Search Engine Optimization* , Software testing and debugging, white-hat "ethical" hacking to determine inconsistencies within your software, website, or web service and many more offers. If these services seem to be something that you may be interested in- please see our new page devoted to I.N.T. Web Server. There you can read the full information about that company and our relationship that brought us together.
*Search Engine Optimization- adjusting a website to deliver it general 'overall' theme to Search Engines (Yahoo, MSN, Google) for higher rankings-so that customers and other people seeking information can better locate the subjected information that they are looking for.
Data Protection and Solutions
Protecting online data housed on a server these days has been a tough thing to do. Hackers are finding smaller holes in which they can gaze and manipulate your data. With help from some Computer Programming Firms that data can be protected for a very long time. It's a matter of knowing where the vulnerabilities are that hide within your applications, programming, and database setup and proper maintenance. There is a solution! Finding a data management program within the same Computer Programming, Web Development or Web Designing firm, that will handle all of this for you.
Web Hosting Space
Web Hosting Space is the amount of 'hard drive' space you are allotted to use given by your web hosting company. This is an important thing to watch before purchasing a web hosting plan and locking yourself into a contract. Even with shareed hosting the amount of hard drive (web hosting space) that a web hosting service wil provide is still a considerable amount and in most cases you should be safe with just about any shared hosting plan. However, beware with free hosting. Their disk space is insanely low and on top of that, they will also limit your account with a daily ftp quota. So there goes your hopes of getting a blog put onto your website in one day. Most shared hosting plans listed on this page are allowing a magnificent amount of disk space to it's users without those pesky ftp quotas. However coming up with a plan to handle your backups both offline and online storage is available for people that need to protect their data. I actually recommend having a file server at home to move all of your files and database material to by using cron jobs or scheduled events. Even after creating an offline back I would recommend creating an account at upline.com which is a HP solution to backing up your data to another online server. Their costs are not too expensive and their services are at the most reliable level. If there is ever a time when you will need to restore your data- you will know that you are safe.
Beware of Free Trials
Some hosting companies now are trying to get you locked into their web hosting program by offering free trials. This is not just a total waste of time, but it's a waste of effort and it can cause some serious data management problems. Moving around DNS, Website Content and Database Data from one server to another should only be performed in a desperate time of need by a Data Specialist. Moving around a database can cause serious inconsistencies within the tables and fields of your database and in some cases it can cause a complete data loss. Free Trial programs offered by web hosting companies only causes problems in the future. If you are thinking of only a temporary solution for your web hosting needs, pleasse reconsider. Your data is vital! Don't play Russian Roulette with your website or data. We recently did a free trial with jumpline as a service to our guests here at Web Host Galore. The service was absolutely horrible. We were abe to get our account opened pretty easily and we were allowed to move the DNS from one of our testing domains over to their servers pretty easily. However- once we got in there and began working trying to install a blog on our system we were finding all kinds of problems. Jumpline use to be listed on our pages here at Web Host Galore, but something went wrong with them. Their services became muddled with jibberish, and when we tested them again a few months later, their program that we once thought was considerable was at a much lower level of service than we were expecting. Jumpline is currently offering free trials- and I do not know why. Do not put your website on a free trial services. It's just not a good way to do business. Some web hosting companies out there ARE scams- and they only care about their monthly/ yearly income, and they are not concerned with giving you everything you need to make your website the best it can be.
Professional Web Hosting, Personal Web Hosting and Business Web Hosting Plans
These are the most affordable plans available that deliver high-quality hosting including the highest amount of bandwidth, up-time percentage, email accounts, ftp accounts, the largest amount of disk space, mailbox space, marketing tools and much much more. These plans are on a shared server meaning that there are more domains belonging to other people that are live on the same server as you. Some hosting companies allow Internet Protocol diversity- meaning that it is possible to get a seperate IP through these plans. Contact your hosting company and just see if they offer plans like these:
