My Website Hosting Page Has Been Totally Revamped

I finally put the finishing touches on my revamped website hosting page, found at www.wizcrafts.net/hosting.html, on August 30, 2006. This is the first major overhaul of that page in many months.

The old page made a very brief mention about what hosting is and only scraped at the surface of the concept of different types of hosting accounts. It then went on to list the detailed features of a few select web hosting companies, wih no mention of alternatives. to say the least it was lacking in breadth of coverage.

The new hosting page is totally the opposite in how it presents information. The first half of the page contains reasonably detailed explanations about what website hosting is, what web servers are, and details the differences between dedicated, semi-dedicated, VPS and shared web hosting.

The next section explains domain name registration and registrars.

Following that I have embedded a comparison of over 20 shared-hosting companies, outlining their allowed disk space, bandwidth (data transfer), email or FTP accounts, add-on domains policies and pricing (monthly and annual). I have also created separate pages detailing the features of the various hosting plans, showing as many features as the company publishes online. Those pages contain links to the companies and to alternate services like VPS servers. I have not finished the features pages for all of the listed web hosts, but am in the process of creating new ones every day or two. I am also trying to keep the disk space/bandwidth/pricing up to date, as several companies are frequently changing their plans to respond to their competitors.

I also plan to include a voting script on each features page, in the immediate future. I look forward to your input to help rate the various hosts according to your own experiences with them (not hearsay).

The final section of the new hosting page deals with website promotion tools and has several very useful links to help you get listed or improve you online business prospects.

I have opened this topic up to visitor comments, on a trial basis. If you have a relevant suggestion, or would like to see a more information about a topic covered on my hosting page, let me know. I am considering creating an entire page dealing with web servers and hosting issues. If there is something you want to learn about, mention it in your comments.
