How To Choose The Best Web Host...For You ECommerce Articles | June 27 Cheap Josh Jackson Jersey , 2005
Web Hosting is a service. Auto mechanics also provide a service. How would you decide which mechanic is best for you? Price? Experience? Reliability? This is the same line of thinking that should go into deciding which company should host your website.
It is very common to see choices centered around price, especially with so much competition in the hosting business. It is not uncommon to see hosting plans range from free to upwards of $50 per month. However, if you happened to see a sign on the street that said "$2 mechanic inside" you would probably drive right by, right? How good could a "$2 mechanic" possibly be? Why would a mechanic with skill and experience charge next to nothing for their service? Certainly, it is worth paying a mechanic. You don't want to be overcharged Cheap Jaire Alexander Jersey , but you do realize an experienced mechanic has value.
This example is very similar to the hosting world. Some may argue a car is more important than a website. Tell that to the bed and breakfast owner who does 90% of their booking via their online reservation system. If your business depends on a website to either completely drive or supplement sales, you know how important a website can be.
When it comes to choosing a host, there are not enough choices centered around experience and reliability. These are the foundations for any good company. A mechanic who has worked on cars for 10 years is going to be more familar with his trade than a mechanic who only has 2 years experience. If you were deciding on a mechanic, wouldn't you lean towards the one who has worked on cars for a longer period of time and perhaps comes on a good recommendation?
Okay, enough talk about cars Cheap David Bakhtiari Jersey , let's talk hosting. When you are looking for a company to provide the service of web hosting, try placing price aside for a moment. First, look for a company that has been in businesss for a number of years. Any host that has been around for over 5 years is probably doing something right. That's not to say a host of 2 years can't help you, but at least begin your search with the most experienced.
After you've found a few candidates, write down about 10 questions you would like to ask your future host. Even if you know the answers to some questions Cheap Dexter Williams Jersey , that's okay. The reason for the questions is to see how long it takes to get answers and the quality of those answers. If you don't like what you see, scratch them off your list because that is exactly the type of response you will get when a support issue arises.
Try to get the web addresses of 4 or 5 sites they host and visit over a period of a week or so and see if you notice any downtime or blatant sluggishness. You may even want to email the owners of these sites and ask what they think of their host.
This may seem like alot of work just to decide on a host for your website. It's certainly more involved than simply looking for the cheapest price. When you only look at price you overlook some essential factors, such as experience and reliability. If your website is important to you or your business, you will come to rely on that experience which translates into quality service.
One of the most common issues faced by expatriate couples is the impact on the career of the spouse. In many expatriate locations, specialized jobs similar to what the spouse had previously held simply do not exist. This can be a critical issue in moving to another country. The potential loss of earnings Cheap Jace Sternberger Jersey , the prospect of having outdated skills on returning home, as well as the adjustment to becoming a stay at home spouse can become issues that bring an expatriate assignment to an early end.
This is particularly difficult when the couple both have high level or very specialized jobs. With the benefit of technology however, a growing number of expatriate spouses are turning to virtual employment. A virtual, expatriate employee lives and works in a different country to that of their employer. They typically work remotely via their computer making use of the internet, email Cheap Elgton Jenkins Jersey , and VoIP (voice over internet protocol). This allows the employee to continue with their employment and allows the employer to retain specialized niche skills.
Employers should carefully consider all aspects of a request from an employee to work as a virtual expatriate:
1. What is the company policy, process, or precedent regarding previous requests? 2. What impact will there be regarding other company policies such as document controls, data protection agreement, security Cheap Darnell Savage Jr. Jersey , business travel, insurance etc? 3. If the employee requires equipment, who will install and attend to maintenance? 4. Is there an appropriate working space at the employee's home in the host country? 5. What is the policy of the company employing the virtual expatriate's spouse regarding spousal employment? 6. Is the time zone of the host country conducive to maintaining contact with the virtual expatriate and with clients? 7. Who will pay for office running costs such as computer, internet connection, and utility costs? 8. How will the virtual expatriate's work be monitored Cheap Rashan Gary Jersey , and how will their performance be measured?
From an international assignment point of view, virtual expatriates are typically paid in the same way as any other non-virtual expatriate employee. The employer has the advantage however of not having to pay significant premiums or benefits that are likely already granted to the spouse employed in the assignment country. Benefits such as medical, housing, education of children, flights home and transport are likely already provided to the "non-virtual" expatriate by their employer.
