Things To Consider Before Buying Web Hosting In Nigeria

By Earlene McGee


It is a common tradition to find a website hosting company if you have developed a website and wants people from different parts of the world to access it. If you a Nigerian website owner, the straightforward option you will consider is web hosting in Nigeria. However, there are factors to consider if you want to land on the best service provider and below are a number of these.

Do not be fooled into believing that all companies provide the best service in the country. In fact, you need to keep in mind that there are two types of businesses in the country today, the newly formed companies and the continuing agencies. Newly formed companies are actually working hard to acquire new customers while the already established ones are doing the best they can to satisfy the needs of their current market.

The first thing that you must therefore look at is how long the business or the company you would wish to host your website with has been in business. You should work with a company that has already been established, not the one that is new in the market. This is because you want to get the best service in the end.

You need to know how much this is going to cost you. The best thing to do would be to some price analysis, at least a two weeks or a month before you buy the host. The most common host plans are monthly service and annual plan. Your pick will depend on whether you are able to pay per month or hire a yearly service.

If the company does not have a support system, working with them becomes pointless. What this means is that you may need help and there will be no one to provide you with such, and this is bad because when your site is down or the server has a problem, you may end up getting a poor support service or no support at all. Ask people out there about the support system of the company you have chosen so that you are aware of what you are getting into.

You need to know whether you will be on a shared plan or a dedicated service. These are usually hosting terminologies used in reference to the web-hosting plan that a client chooses. Ask them about the amount of disk space they will allocate to you, the number of email clients they will allow you to have and whether there are any hidden costs.

Most technology experts always argue that there is nothing like unlimited in everything as far as hosting is a concern. The truth is, getting unlimited bandwidth is actually possible, the same way there is unlimited disk space. But the company must give you a guarantee that this is going to be unlimited and not otherwise.

Do not plant your money on a service that does not have an uptime guarantee. Some services are horrible, and even though they promise 99.9% up time guarantee, they do not actually live up to this promise. Make sure the guarantee is authentic, not just empty words.
