Looking to buy additional web space?

What to look for when seeking a website host in Australia

Once your web site starts to take off, you will need to start to consider increasing your web space, bandwidth and web server speed. Online visitors have only limited patience when it comes to waiting for pages to load or system "freezes" caused by a shortage of web space hosting capacity.

Most high quality web space hosting companies offer an upgrade path from an initial "starter" package offering a small number of email addresses, 500mb of disk space, basic web site statistics and a traffic or bandwidth capacity each month. Upgrading to the next levels is then really just a matter of estimating your growth and whether you need to add hosted applications such as SQL, MySQL, PHP, Perl. Usually you will also find that a web space upgrade will include additional POP email boxes.

When looking for quality, high performance web space in Australia you will need to consider:

• Set up and activation time
• Support resources for technical assistance
• Server speed
• Size and ability to easily upgrade
• Reliability and up time
• Local Australian accessibility
• Performance guarantees
• Track record and referees
• Upgrade path to greater web space capacity and dedicated web hosting

Initially, you will more than likely be sharing your web space host machine with quite a few other internet and website companies. This is called virtual hosting and is usually the best value way to start off and you will also share an IP address. Once you get a bit bigger you may graduate to a shared server with other large web space users with similar server needs and you should consider having a dedicated IP address. Eventually, if all goes well with your online business, it will be time to increase your web space to a dedicated server with more disk space and higher bandwidth to facilitate the increase in the size of your content and the speed of downloads and uploads.
