ALL HOSTS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL

What Every Web Site Owner Should Know ALL HOSTS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL Now that you know a little bit more about Web hosting, it is time to think about actually choosing a Web host. Services offered range from simple web hosting with no features, to comprehensive packages including templates, a marketing plan, search engine submission, and more. Sometimes this can be confusing for a prospective Website owner. Too many choices can lead to what may not be the best decision. Therefore, one of the most important things to consider is reliability. Regardless of what else is offered, or how great the deal is, if your Website is down half the time, it’s not worth it. After reliability, email is probably the next critical feature you should consider. Before you sign up with a hosting company, you can check to see if their mail servers appear on any black lists (Just visit my Website to find out how to do this.). Additionally, most Web hosts offer protection against spam. It will also allow you to add email addresses that you want to make certain you receive email from to a white list. Spam filtering is a balancing act. The higher the security, the less spam will get through, but the greater the probability that legitimate email is filtered along with the junk mail. Depending upon how important you consider your email, will determine your “comfort level” regarding spam filtering. Personally, I prefer a Web host to allow all non-virus email through. I can configure my own spam filter.
