Why Web Hosting is a Key Component of Your Online Strategy
Web hosting is the foundation of your digital presence. It is where all the files, photos and HTML code live that make your website visible on the internet. The web server is the equivalent to a brick-and-mortar location that holds all your business inventory so customers can find you.
The right web host is key to a successful website and can impact the overall success of your marketing campaigns. In addition to ensuring your website is up and running 24/7, a good web host will have proactive management and a consultative approach to provide you with the support you need to keep your site growing.
A good web host will offer a variety of different packages to meet the needs of any size website or online business. They will also have an extensive list of features available to add to your site as needed. For example, if you run a WordPress website, adding a plugin that enables you to create a newsletter signup, register for events or even have a store, can allow your visitors to easily find the information they need.
Other important features a web host should offer are a customizable error message, allowing you to replace the standard "404 - page not found" with a custom message that reflects your brand. They should also have a robust system for backups and other maintenance tasks, including updates to underlying software.
As with personal computers, not all web servers are created equal. Some are better for certain jobs, like e-commerce or blogging. A good web host will take into account the needs of a particular website when selecting the best hardware and configuration. They will also assess bandwidth and technical support needs to ensure your site is getting what it needs and isn't being overloaded.
While some enterprises may choose to host their own websites with their own PC software, a third-party web hosting provider can be a much more cost-effective option for smaller businesses that are looking to build and maintain a strong online presence. They will have the experience and expertise to keep your website up and running at all times and can provide a higher level of service that includes monitoring security, performing backups and optimizing for performance.
Finding a good web host is not unlike searching for the perfect pair of jeans – it is all about what works best for you and your business. The right web hosting will help you achieve the digital presence that will set you apart from your competitors and make you stand out on the internet.
