Web Hosting And Bandwidth - Introducing
So, you have your domain and have designed a website or had a website built for you, what is next? Well, of course you need hosting. A lot of people want to start a business online but are not aware of some of the basics like how people are able to view or visit your website.
What is web hosting? Right now, if you have already built your website, all of those files are on your computer. People who are surfing the web don’t have access to your computer, therefore cannot find your website. Advanced users know they can turn their computer into a server where people are actually coming to their computer to view their website, however, this is not recommended and certainly not recommended for someone who is not very advanced as a computer technician.
There are computers who are set up to be servers. These are called host computers as well to simplify things. You need to upload your website files to the hosting computer so they can make it available for others to viewon the web. This is the service we call web hosting.

Why people pay for a dedicated server?
I remember 2 years ago, when I only had one website and it was hosted on a free sub-domain of a free server, I heard from one of my friends that he moves his website to a dedicated server and wondered, why would someone do this? Dedicated servers cost hundreds of dollars monthly, why people waste this much money when you can get a decent host for 5-10 dollars a month?
The answer is - bandwidth issues, mainly. When t comes to bandwidth, there is a limit as to how much your shared host can handle, even if you upgrade - there is still a top measure. At certain point, if you have a lot of traffic and this traffic consumes a lot of data transfer such as a downloading media files or “just” browsing the site and resulting in millions of clicks - you can’t stay on a shared host anymore, or else you risk going offline.
Generally only sites that offered video downloads, steaming, audio files and templates need a dedicated server because each visitor downloads a few MB of data, and if you have hundreds of them daily, you can hardly find a hosting plan that will manage to handle it. This is why some of us end up paying crazy prices for a dedicated host. Does it pay out? Well, normally if you have crazy traffic, you also have crazy income.
Why Yahoo hosting is the best solution?
It’s a question that is often asked about any big company. On the one hand, a big corporation is likely to provide a high quality service and won’t risk its name by offering crappy service that will make people leave and spread the word, damaging their reputation.
When I first decided to switch to a paid hosting service, and looked primarily for quality, I was asking my online friends, what hosting service would they recommend. Quite a few posted at Yahoo, as been both affordable and high quality. I took a look closely, at features and what do they offer for their price. It was indeed an impressive overview and most of all, they have some unique opportunities, such as…
1. Awesome free website builder. You can download Yahoo site builder, which is an amazing visual and was the first ever I tried when I got into web design. It’s easy, has a lot of features and many effects which you can add in one click, easier than you think. 350 templates and images are included, and anyone who is totally new to web design can have a professionally looking site in a few hours.
2. You can get a top level domain (www.yourname.com) for only 1,99$, which is the cheapest deal available at present on the market.
3. All the features you may need… Yahoo is ideal for beginners, because like I said, even if you have no clue how to design a site and put it online, Yahoo builder together with all the support their provide with their web host, will guide you step by step and show you how to put your site live online and how to update it. Currently, even the starter plan provides enough bandwidth for up to 500,000 visitors a month, which I will tell you honestly, a very generous offer for mere 7$ - 8$ a month. Very user friendly interface of hosting panel will also make it very easy for you to navigate, build, modify and customize.
4. Best solution for professionals. Not only beginners can benefit from the awesome features of Yahoo web hosting. Professional webmasters, those who know very well what their website need and what features are essential for their website, will also find Yahoo to be the Nr. 1 solution, because… Yahoo provide excellent uptime and 24/7 support, i.e. for commercial sites, for who downtime automatically means loss of money, will not find themselves fighting with a hosting company that went offline and no idea when will they be back. The servers are powerful and guarantee fast loading, reliable hosting service.
5. Best price from a well known company. As we all know, hosting service is a very competitive area. Tons of companies pop out every week, and close down in a month or two, some are just oversold resellers, while others close down and disappear with clients money, with no ability to even contact the host’s owners anymore. With Yahoo hosting service this will not happen, as we all know - Yahoo! is a well established company, which provides over 1000 services and products around the world. They own the servers they host you on and you con contact them any time, regarding payment process, set up of the host, domain, technical issues and anything in between. Take it from me, hosting your commercial website with a well known hosting company saves a lot worries and headache.
