Three key factors when choosing a hosting plan

The web hosting industry is growing day by day. Data from IBIS and a more recent report by MarketWatch indicates that the United States Internet hosting industry has been growing nearly %20 a year. While the need for the best web hosting is increasing, businesses have some challenges during the decision period. To make the right choice on web hosting service, there are three points that businesses have to look at.

Pricing 💵

When choosing a hosting plan, pricing is the most important factor. Companies have a tendency to choose the cheapest hosting plan. There are hosting plans at different prices. It is possible to find hosting plans less than $3 a month and some are even free. There are hosting plans that cost around $100 a month or even more.

These more expensive hosting plans offer lots of great features. However, these features are not required by some companies. So, we can say that smaller businesses operating on a tight budget, they do not need to overpay for a lot of services. If it is necessary, these premium hosting plans can be preferred. It depends on your business needs.

Bandwidth and storage space 📁

You should determine the bandwidth of your website to handle the traffic volume. The bandwidth you need depends on the number of people visiting your website every month. For instance, a local attorney website gets a few hundred visits a month from prospective clients. An AdSense site gets 1000 visits a day from social media.

For a major e-commerce site, the number of visitors can reach half a million in a month. Another important point is storage space. The amount of storage space basically depends on the number of web pages and the scope of the content. On the other hand, there are so many factors that affect how much bandwidth your storage space is going to be needed. We recommend you not be too conservative if your website is still growing.

Security 🛡️

Another important factor is security. Reports indicate that 60% of companies suffer a security breach within six months. You should choose a hosting plan which provides adequate security against cyber-attacks.

The security of the website is a must. After taking some time for research, you can choose the right hosting among a lot of hosting options on the market. First of all, you should determine your business needs due to its scale and then you can follow the steps listed above.
