My Web Hosting Woes
When I started this blog, I was so thrilled that finally I had got a site of my own. The set up had been done and I was in the process of adding content and taking care of other details. Everything was still at a nascent stage. I had a lot of work to do, what with other blogs, and writing assignments.
But I was not satisfied with my web hosting company. The pages were taking ages to load. I complained twice. Each time I got a noncommittal reply that we are looking into the matter. I totally lost the enthusiasm for starting my website. I wanted to design the the whole look and feel of the site according to my personality. But the slow speed of the server was killing my joy of getting a site of my own. I just couldn’t make myself work on it.
Actually I didn’t do a lot of research before taking this hosting service. I just searched a list of cheap web hosting services, and picked whichever was offering the cheapest rates. I didn’t looked elsewhere, nor searched for some information on how to choose a web hosting service. Some days ago my site got hacked. I change my password frequently, so it was the server which had loose security. Now I have learnt my lesson. It is very important to do your research before choosing a particular web hosting service. I have found a good site on this subject.This site provides a lot of good information through their web hosting articles. The articles can be of great help while deciding which type of server you should use for your specific needs.
