What is a Web Host?

[Apaullo]

Can you guys give me some of the features that clients look for a good web hosting company? I mean their offers that clients can't say no to? Given you have good and experienced personnel, state of the art hardware and the best bandwidth, what offers can you offer to the clients?

[mariesheila]

Clients mainly look for security and reliability from a good web hosting company. Not only that, web clients also would consider dependability such us bandwidth and privacy.

I agree with you Sheila but what I mean is like unlimited web hosting, etc..I am sure there are plans or promos that Web Hosts are giving so that the clients will be attracted to them but what are they?

[Maximus]

Examples of web-hosting promotion could be any type of increased quota , during the promo period . A company could offer you % of increased HDD and Bandwidth quota or the price of the hosting plans could be decreased . The whole idea is to provide more features and resources at lower cost . I don`t believe , that plan like ``unlimited web hosting`` exists . Every web-hosting plan is limited at some level and that makes the difference between the provided plans , their price and available resources .

[mariesheila]

So there are really no plans like unlimited web hosting? I can imagine all the traffic and the risk of security breach.

[Apaullo]

lols indeed, oh well, I think no matter how good the promo is, if the Web Hosting Company is questionable then I would rather get it from a company with no promo but already proved their worth as a Host.

[mariesheila]

Well, if the reputation of the web hosting company is not good, why should you opt for the promo? I certainly agree with you Apaullo. Great offers may come with a few down sides. Because those offer can hide the adverse features of an unlimited web hosting offer.

[Apaullo]

OR they are new to the game and trying to get clients of their own, newly built Web Hosts go for attractive promos and PR so their brand will immediatly get attention.

[mariesheila]

You got it right there Apaullo, for new comers of the web hosting services, hot promos and big offers will be there main bait to their prospective web clients. It just depends on their clients choice if they would grab the offer.
