NH Hosting Services and Domain Names - Netspeak Solutions

If you don't have a registered domain name yet, then CLICK HERE to search the International domain name database (called "whois") to see if a domain name you may want is available. If you have never selected a domain name before, then beware of a few things;

1. Trying to save a few dollars per year by using some lesser known company is not worth it. Better known companies are simply a better place to ensure your domain remains safe and your own.
2. Try and select more than one domain name - and choose names (if they aren't already taken) that relate to the business category and location you're. This has been shown to help somewhat in search engine ranking.
3. Buy a "private domain registration". This is extra, and costs a little more, but it keeps your email address and other ownership records away from identity thieves and email spammers.
4. When you've decide on a domain name DO NOT HAVE A WEB DESIGN OR MARKETING FIRM BUY IT FOR YOU! If you do, then THEY will be the ones who own it - not you! The same goes for your hosting account. These are both VERY important points to remember.
5. Although you will be "barraged" with offers to set up email and hosting accounts at the same time you're buying your domain name - DON'T! You have plenty of time to look around and choose the hosting company that's right for you (and they too offer email services)!

Choosing a Hosting Services Company

Unfortunately, hosting company features, support and up-time vary greatly. A novice therefore needs to understand the relationship between a host's reputation, monthly fees and included features. Another issue to consider is the potential future growth of your site. For example, if it has is a database heavy design, moving to a new host will be more difficult - as well as site ranking. Typically, if the host company is closer to the Internet "backbone", the better the hosting company is. And can help your search engine rankings. Typical costs for top hosting companies range from $10.00-$25.00/month, but it's worth it!

On the other side of hosting track, are companies offering much cheaper rates. However, cheap hosting companies typically do not maintain their server computers to 99.99% up-time, and many carry a very high ratio of email spammers and porn sites. This matters because it increases the likelihood of email spam affecting the email server not being flagged as a spam site - thus impacting your ability to send and receive emails. So beware!
