Should I host my website locally or choose hosting company?

September 13, 2011 · By editor

A frequently-asked query:

I have signed to company to host my website. But after testing and checking i found it very slow and so much pain.so i canceled my plan with them.

Now I am thinking about cheap and reliable web host company.
but the problem is now the speed of these host which is slow. because they have many users. I was thinking to purchase out of USA in a Countries where they have highest internet connection speed like Japan,Sweden but it seem to be expensive than US based company.

Please advise me now. I have Server at home which is IBM x3400 series and very powerful and my internet connection speed is
100/10 on fiber and of course my server NIC is Gigabyte . i get 6mb while i download and my upload goes to 1.2mbps.

Is this speed is enough for a website for Video stream or a web sites like this http://www.mysmartshopper.com.au/

Please advise me

thanks

    Let me tell you a little about my experience with web hosting companies over the years. At times you will come across deals that are almost too good to be true – cheap web hosting with amazing features! There are hosts that while offering cheap prices do back that up with excellent performance and service, but there are things to be noted:

    There are a lot of potential questions you must ask yourself, whilst bearing in mind other peoples reviews, their reputation, and ultimately – the price. I personally use http://www.top15hosting.com to read web hosting reviews and see what web host is getting the best reputation as well as the bad, which helps me decide who to stay away from.

    Your experience might be different but I have many complaints from PowWeb and Dot5Hosting. Those companies just took my money and provided me with bad customer support and my websites would always be down. Today I use Just Host for my web hosting and I’m very satisfied. As long as you do a little research before buying your web hosting you will be fine.

    I always caution people against hosting their own sites. Most people don’t realize the amount of work that needs to go into it.

    Well, not until they wake up one morning and realize that their website was down all night! Or, until their web server crashes and they can’t get it back up. Then they realize that they never had backups – let alone redundancy. Ouch!

    At least a good hosting company has staff working 24/7. They should have alarms that sound whenever there’s a problem. They should also have full redundancy on all hardware (i.e. web servers, routers, load balancers etc).

    There are plenty of cheap but reliable hosting services out there. You’ve just got to find them.

    For example ZappyHost:

    Hosting plans are only around $5 but they’re very reliable.
