Web Site Hosting

I have recently switched my hosting from GoDaddy to DreamHost. GoDaddy gave good service for a good price, but I did not like their advertising. DreamHost charges a single fee to host unlimited domains! Also, DreamHost gives terminal access. If none of this means anything to you, I will get back to photography soon.

Some things to look for in hosting:

• Up time. Ask them how often their systems are down and what measures they take to ensure up time.
• Back end features. Do you need perl cgi? Java? Tomcat? MySql? Terminal access? A shopping cart?
• Disk space. How big is your site and will it fit in the package you are willing to pay for? For a photography web site, DreamHost provides way more than I will need!
  
• Bandwidth. How much bandwidth do you need or expect your users to use? DreamHost adds disk space and bandwidth the longer you keep your account.
• How many other sites are on the same server as yours? This will affect the speed of the site, but probably not as much as the slow speed of most user internet connections.

If you want to use DreamHost I have a discount code that gives the maximum possible discounts on whatever package you choose. It is RRKMAX. For this I get no pay, unless you refer somebody that joins or something like that.
