These days, more and more of my friends seem to turn to me for guidance and help with websites. Not just friends, even places I work for. For example, ihave recently joined Resonate Consulting on a parttime basis, and they are unhappy with their current web hosting providers and wish to move. They are some of the most talented Organization Development Consultants in India, and their site looks nice, but has little functionality and costs a bomb. We are still struggling to see how we can add simple things like a blog.
Now, at the risk of sounding really obvious, it is easier to take some time and research and choose a good hosting provider. Really, there IS no excuse. It is far more inconvenient after having a site somewhere to shift hosting providers.
There are plenty of service providers out there that are very good, and websites that can provide comparisons, tips and reviews on the different web hosting available. This site can prove a good resource in gaining information and reviews about the different hosting providers out there and the kind of services and budgets you can expect. For example, what is the best choice for blog hosting, or if you are on a budget, or for heavy traffic, and so on. You wouldn’t buy a dress without checking it out, would you? So do you really want to buy the platform for your image without research?
