Why REWEB has the best website hosting and hosting reseller solutions...
The time has come. You''ve reached the point where you feel the only thing for it is to have your own website on your own Web Host. You want control and you want it to be yours. You''re just not sure the best way to go about making this major decision: How to find the right Web Host for my needs?
Well, you''ve come to the right place. REWEB takes special pride in not only providing its users with all the latest information on how to do this, but also educating visitors through its website on how to go about making the best, most informed decision possible. The key to this is to know your needs and requirements, and then we can help you choose the best hosting solution in your online endeavours.
The good news is that if you go through this process carefully and wisely, you will find that we will give you value for money, be reliable and efficient, and assist you with your questions and problems along the way.
The best way to proceed, then, is to make a list of what you require. This will most likely include the following: platform, speed, accessibility, reliability, support and service, and of course, price. We''re going to discuss some of most important features below for you, and explain briefly why they should be major factors in making your decision.
Type of Website What type of website do you have or want? This is the most basic question and will determine which general direction you should go when choosing your packages. Is it a personal site or a business site? Do you just want to put a couple fun pages online for friends and family, or are you hoping to make a business out of it? Try to predict what may happen to your site in the future. How much will it grow, and how much more in the way of features may I need later that I do not need now?
Individual Requirements There is no "one size fits all" package in Web Hosting. You must decide what you really need and compare packages to find out which one can give you the best deal on these.
It is important to get your requirements clear so that when you compare solutions you are comparing apples with apples, like with like.
Price The cost of Hosting packages ranges anywhere from R150 to thousands of rand a month. However, the vast majority of people fall into the category of needing an account that will run in the ballpark of R150 per month, depending on the features you need and the options available on the particular package you choose.
Your package is scalable, meaning that upgrades will not be a problem or burden for you when the time comes.
Platform: Microsoft Windows This is not really a question of which platform is better or worse, despite what purists or geeks may say. The choice depends on what kind of website you have and what you need to be served. If you''re putting up a basic site with standard HTML, without any server side scripting or database support, this isn''t really an issue. Either one will do.
Our servers are Microsoft Windows servers, allowing you many features, such as database access, SQL, My SQL and PHP, you cannot find a web host with the prices we offer on the Microsoft windows platform, we have and available options.
Space & Traffic Space and traffic are often the basis for many Web Hosts rates, whether or not this has any basis in reality. I say this because the majority of sites require only a few megabytes (MBs) of space and the amount of traffic they will receive is rarely an issue.
If you have a basic site that is not several hundred pages in size, and is not going to be visited by thousands of people a day, I would not even worry about these elements. However, do be aware of our fees for exceeding basic allocations, just in case, especially if you happen to be using a lot of Flash or Multimedia files on your site.
Email This is an often underrated feature of Web Hosting Packages, since emails are essentially the lifeblood of an online business. Be sure that your package contains enough emails and aliases for your business when you configure your package with us.
Customer Support We offer support via email. In most cases, email support is fine, but in case of an emergency, you can speak with someone directly.
Further Factors & Considerations We offer full website statistics for your website, which most web hosts charge for.
Uptime is important. Many companies will say they''re up 99.9% of the time when the reality may be quite different. If it is a few points less than this, your site may be down more than you expect or know.
We offer SSL (Secure Socket Layer) which will allow you to sell products securely over the internet and we offer you assistance in setting up merchant accounts with banks for credit card processing
Buy What You NEED, Upgrade Later Despite your desire to have many special features, bells and whistles, it is far wiser to select a solution that more directly corresponds with your immediate business needs. Only purchase hosting services that your site requires to provide your specific content. There is no point in signing up for an all-inclusive account with us if you won''t be using most of the services.
Your hosting solution is scalable, and you will be able to easily upgrade as your site grows in complexity.
