What kind of hosting am I going to need?

There are many aspects to consider when choosing a host.

Shared hosting is the most affordable way to go for a smaller business. Large enterprise websites and online shops need more bandwidth, disc space and speed so are now moving towards cloud hosting.  The most important consideration is whether the host you choose has a cpanel interface. This will provide you with everything you need to access your website files, move your website if you need to, connect domains or review traffic statistics. Security is one of the most important considerations when choosing your hosting and installing Wordpress. If you are hosting one website you can probably pay around four dollars a month paying three years in advance. This will provide you with a cpanel and enough grunt to get you started.  If you want to host more than one website, your hosting will cost you more.

They have great deals and this particular account gives premium support. Sometimes businesses or individuals require a higher level of service and there are companies out there that provide hosting packages that take care of everything for you and give you training and a premium level of support. This will cost you more per year of course. It is said that hosting your site in the country of your business is better for search rankings so an Australian company could be a good choice in this case. Siteground has a server in the United States, one in Europe and one in Singapore.  Digital Pacific is an Australian Hosting Company that I have had good feedback about. It is worth comparing all the deals on offer, or get a professional web developer to do it for you.

Choosing a Domain Name and DNS Server

Keeping your Domain Name and Website Hosting together is a good idea.

Most larger web hosting companies provide a DNS or domain name server as well as hosting. I personally recommend registering your domain name with the same company that is hosting your website. This means everything is together and you don’t accidentally forget to renew your domain name and find your website has gone down and someone else has taken your name.
Choosing a domain name or web address for your website can become an excruciating drawn out process or happen very quickly. Do you choose your actual name or your business name? Are you launching a brand or selling something very specific. This video is a great introduction to choosing a domain name and the process involved.

Do your Keyword Research

Choose an SEO friendly domain name and high volume low competition keywords in your niche

Your keywords must be identified and used in content based on analysis of your business requirements. There are several keyword tools available to help you find the right keywords. Most offer a free trial but this will limit the number of features you have access to until you upgrade to the paid version.
It is essential that your site is targeting keywords that people are looking for. You know your niche better than anyone so you may know special terms or words associated with your business that a lot of people may be looking for and do not have a lot of competition.

 

Wordpress Security
