Web Hosting Help Northern California Ott Enterprises Internet Business Development and Consulting

There are numerous web site hosting companies available everywhere, with all different kinds of operating systems and different types of services. I can work on most of them but, instead of trying to explain all of them to you. I am going to tell you what kind of web site hosting service I prefer.

I prefer a Linux server with Apache, a cgi-bin, PERL, FTP, SSL (shared does just fine), SSH/Shell access, htaccess, MySQl and PHP at the least. With these in place the possibilities of setting up an Internet shopping cart, online retail store or facebook like community are endless.

Other things you need to take into consideration are: 99% Up Time, amount of disk storage, bandwidth, email accounts and addresses, add-on domains and control panel management.

You can find hosting services that contain all of the above starting at about $6 per month. The hosting services I am currently using has all of the above and then some.

I am using InMotion Hosting Business Class Power package for hosting this web site. Hosting Ott2.com A Home Improvement website I just started building and North Woods Discovery School web site, which I have volunteered to upgrade to xhtml and host for now. With all that I am still only using less than 10 percent of the resources I have available with the Business Class Power hosting package. I highly recommend this service and their Business Class Power package will be more than enough for most businesses.

InMotion Web Site Hosting also includes one domain name registration with their website hosting packages. But if you are like me and want to register more that one domain name, then Godaddy has the best deals on domain name registration. The also have web hosting packages but they are too expensive and charge extra for things most other hosting services include in their lower prices. Godaddy's service is only good for domain name registration everything else is way overpriced and unnecessary. I prefer to buy domain registrations, ten years at a time because the age and length of a domain name improves search engine ranking. When I transferred my first domain to godaddy to get their low rate, they lowered it even more when I bought ten years worth. It came to around $70 in stead of $200 with most standard domain name registers. Now I have all five of my domains registered with godaddy. It really doesn't matter too much where you register your domain names. They all end up on the same main register anyway.
