How do I start my website? This is a very commonly asked question, and I hope the following will give a few very basic answers, as well as giving you some starting knowledge of what is involved in creating a personal or business web site. I intend to cover each of these topics individually, and at much greater depth, in coming weeks, but for now here is my basic starter guide to putting the first few feet forward on the path of web site creation. Although aimed at small business and organizations most of these principles apply to web site projects of all types and sizes.

Most people would opt for a Shared Web Hosting service if they are concerned about the costs and if they are just starting out. A shared web hosting service is one which provides for multiple sites. Essentially many websites 'live' on one server which is connected to the internet, just like multiple tenants live on one apartment building. The websites that share the server share in the cost of maintaining the server and ensuring that their sites are secure, which means lower cost for each web site.
 

Type host operating system: If your website is based on technologies such as JSP, ASP, etc, and require others, to complement or Microsoft MSACCESS MS SQL database that should go for windows hosting. On the other hand, if the user is using technologies like cold fusion, then you can run on Linux and Windows platform.

Which all brings me back to what is Affordable Web Hosting? I have my pages hosted at GVO and I pay a higher monthly cost than if I used certain other cheaper hosts.

Web hosting companies are all over the world and most will state that they provide a 99.99% uptime. This turns out to be far from the truth for most of them. The problems arise after you have chosen your hosting.

You also need to make sure that your chosen Shared Web Hosting UK hosting provider has an easy to use control panel. Some control panels can turn your hosting account management to a nightmare. cPanel and Parallels Plesk are both great control panels to consider. Moreover, be certain that your provider provides a 24/7 support.

The second thing that you should not overlook is customer support. You are of great likely need to get help from their technical staff here and there. One of the main thing to be noted here is that you should make sure your web hosting provider will going to provide you support by email or by phone or by live-chat 24/7.

To close this simple overview let me make it clear to you that getting the fairest hosting service is not a thing of concern. Find a polite and user friendly web hosting service and ask them to guide you in setting up an inexpensive hosting account. We all start one way and inexpensive hosting is the modest choice if you want to get started on the internet.
