Five Simple Tips for Web Hosting in 2002
The New Year is here and it's a great time for your
company to consider the following tips in planning your
web hosting needs for 2002! By following these simple
steps, you can not only save money, but also ensure
that your website has its most successful year yet.
Tip #1: Upgrade to an Annual Plan – If
you are happy with your hosting provider, consider moving
to an annual payment basis. By doing this, you can benefit
from a lower prorated monthly rate. If you are looking
to transfer to a new web host in January, you might
also wish to consider an annual plan as they often come
with no set-up fee.
Tip #2: 2001 is going to be the busiest year
the Internet has ever seen! Is your company ready for
an increase in traffic? With monthly fees for dedicated
servers coming down rapidly over the past year, your
business may wish to consider moving to a dedicated
environment which will offer more capacity for servicing
your online customers.
Tip #3: Check out your Hosting Service Agreements.
These agreements contain the "legal terms"
of your hosting contract and may be changed from time
to time. The 'New Year' is a good time to review the
latest documents surrounding the relationship between
you and your web host.

Tip #4: Secure a support domain for your company.
Many companies are now providing technical support and
service follow-up online. With Internet penetration
in the United States now in most homes, you may wish
to consider reserving the domain name for a potential
service/support site. For example, usxmodeltrains.com
might wish to reserve usxtrainsupport.com.
Tip #5: Watch for software upgrades! Each year,
many providers of web design and server software launch
new versions. Make sure your company is using the latest
design software to maximize your site visitor's experiences.
Also, by checking to see if your provider has the latest
server versions, you can verify their technical knowledge
and ensure maximum website uptime.
By following these simple tips, your business can maximize
it's online efforts in 2001 by ensuring a stable hosting
environment while gaining better knowledge about your
web host.
