Quality hosting

Quality Hosting
The average normal web hosting company will provide a client with web space, bandwidth, and other average services.

However, these normal services are not always the best tools needed to host a successful website.

Most web host will have multiple ways to get in contact them. A support ticket system (tool used to submit help request regarding an website problem), instant messenger support (msn messenger, yahoo messengers etc.), a phone number, or an online contact form? (hastyhost.com shows a great example of feature)

Quality web hosting companies will have completed layouts. Meaning, there are no dead links (pages that no longer exist, or not coded properly), or incomplete pages. A quality web host will appear to represent their website as any other professional company.

Quality web hosting providers will provide additional services such as, online tutorials that help educate the client for different control panels (server tool to manage and host the website) the web host uses that can be very challenging for a new individual to web hosting. The quality web host will provide services like website builders (tool used to help creating websites), that will help those who are new to web design creation or webmaster works such as hostgator.com provides through it's web hosting services.

A quality host will respond in a timely manner (24 hours or less), and in a professional manner (correct spelling, correct use of punctuation.) when a support request has been issued to them.

Quality hosting with a strong technical team that fixes a large stream of server malfunctions is also considered "quality service", and the company will have another strategy to troubleshoot issues that may arise.

Quality web hosting comes with quality uptime results. A quality web host will have available an online stats chart or third party (external website) script that will allow one to check the uptime of the websites.

A large portion of webmasters (owners of websites) want 24/7 support. A quality host provides one or more of the following services: 24/7 phone support line, 24/7 online live chat support, 30 minutes or less support ticket response, or a new support services instant messenger (programs downloaded to the computer to chat back and forth with others) support, such as, MSN Messenger, AIM Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, and other instant messengers.

A web host that oversells web hosting. Web host such as, lunarpages.com, bluehost.com and others have been in business for a long period of time and can afford to offer web space such as, 300GB of disk space. Other web host who have been in business for a short period of time, in most cases, can not afford to offer extreme web host packages. Some host will sell a web hosting package with 300GB or more, but they cannot provide that web space. However, they know the average individual will never consume over that given amount of web space. This method of hosting is used in a verity of ways, and even a web host that sells "unlimited" space of bandwidth. Technically there is no way to provide "unlimited space or bandwidth". Most issues that arise from web host that provide unlimited disk space and bandwidth have high server loads (high CPU which causes system crashes, or slow website loading phases)from too many websites being hosted on one server.
