Web Hosting Sheffield

Every website or web deployed application requires some form of web hosting. A website could, in theory, be stored on your computer in the office or at home and, with a bit of tweaking, people from all around the world could visit your DIY-hosted site. In reality, however, this isn't practical, as your home or office internet connection's speed doesn't really match up to the kind of performance a modern website needs. Plus if you start getting decent number of website visitors, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is going to start getting on your back for bandwidth usage.

The solution of course is to use a professional hosting company who have high performance web servers networked to fast internet connections. The price for services such as these are now affordable to everyone so it's possible to have your website accessible worldwide 24-7 at very low cost. However, choosing your web host based on price alone is, in my experience, a mistake. Like with anything, you get what you pay for, so the trick is to find a company offering a good balance between price, facilities and customer service. Indeed the latter is one of the most important things you should look for as web servers can and do go wrong occasionally, and in those instances you need a knowledgeable and readily available customer support team (and that doesn't mean someone in a call centre reading from a script!).

For hosting my client's websites and applications I either recommend a suitable third party host or we can host your site on one of my leased servers. Need some advice? Just get in touch.
