Find Inexpensive Hosting Within Your Reach Right Now

By Jeanette Henry

There are a few basic requirements for a web host to be useful. While advanced features like datatbase management and scripting are nice space and bandwidth management are key requirements.

The most important component of the hosting provider is how much disk or web space they have available. Space in respect of such hosting services refers to the quantum of data that can be stored on the disk area offered by the provider for the client. While the usual market trend is web space provisions in the range of 50 MB to 1000 MB, it could be different depending on the requirements and budget of the client.

The size of the storage space a client needs is totally dependent on the nature and size of his or her website. These days the majority of websites are made up of flash animations and HTML texts. While text doesn't take much space at all graphics are the exact opposite and use huge amounts of space. A small image could require 1 MB while 5 pages of text may require only 50 Kb.

People who own websites will be best served by merging what features they need with how much money they want to spend. They need to understand how much space they have to work with, but also provide exactly what the visitors will be wanting.

Of course the basic purpose of web based promotion is to bring in visitors and create more revenue. If visitors cannot download the site's content quickly, they will not stay, and revenues will go down. A 30 KB webpage should only take 4 seconds to download, even when using a dial-up service, so this is the perfect size for web hosting. I would suggest that you should purchase a slightly larger package in order to provide additional space for when your business and website expand.
