                   Shared Hosting


                              Dedicated Hosting
Free Hosting

      Host Provides                  Your Needs

• Domain name is often       • Site for personal, not

  e.g. www.webhost.com/
  yourpage                   • Small Web site with no
                               expectation for growth
• Limited customer support
                             • Low expectation for
• Banner advertisements at     performance or reliability
  the top of your page
Shared Hosting is the
Most Popular Form of Web Hosting
         Host Provides                  Your Needs

  • A dedicated portion of a   • Site for personal or light
    larger server                commercial use

  • Service to a personal      • Small to medium sized Web
    domain name e.g.             sites
    www.yourname.com
                               • Willing to spend $10-30

Agenda
•   Pubweb retirement
•   Web host types and services
•   Assessing your needs
•   Campus resources for site design
•   Sample host overview
Assess Your Needs to
Find the Best Web Host for You
                  Disk space
The following
                  Bandwidth
need areas can
                  Domain name
determine the
kind of service   E-mail accounts

and host you      Support
need:             Other features
                  Design
Disk Space is the Amount of Space
  Available for Storing Web Data
   You may need less
   space than you think,
   remember:
                 1 byte = 1 character
                 1 KB   = 1000 bytes
                 1 MB = 1000 KB
                 1 GB = 1000 MB
How Much Disk Space?
• The average Web site uses 2-3 MB of space

• For example, a 10-page site with many graphics
  uses .7 MB

• Most personal sites will not use more than 20 MB

• Video, audio and photo files use more space
Estimate How Much
       Disk Space You Need
• Your space need is the sum of
  the files, images, and
  attachments you use on your
  Web site

• Once you have compiled and
  created the content:
    – In Windows, go to Explore
    – Select the file of your site
      content
    – Right click to Properties
    – Locate Size
Estimate How Much
       Bandwidth You Need
Bandwidth is the amount
of data transferred by    Bandwidth Examples:
viewers from your host,
                          Site size x Views = Bandwidth
measured monthly
                          3 MB    x 100    = 300 MB/mo
Most sites without
downloads and video/      10 MB   x 100    = 1 GM/mo
audio need no more
than 2 GB bandwidth
Consider the Importance of
       Your Site’s Domain Name
• Do you need to transfer an   • Many hosting services allow
  existing domain?               transfers for a small fee or for free

• Do you need a unique         • Unique domains look more
  domain?                        professional
                               • A domain under the host provider
                                 is often free

• Are you starting from        • Purchase from host or a register
  scratch and need to            accredited by ICANN
  register a domain?           • Purchasing outside your host
                                 provider can allow for easier
                                 transitions if you stop service
For E-mail, Choose From
       POP or Forwarding
        POP E-mail
   (Post Office Protocol)            E-mail Forwarding

• E-mail stored on Web Host’s   • Redirect e-mail from Web
  server                          site traffic to your personal
                                  e-mail account
• Accessed by your e-mail       • For example, the addresses:
  program, such as Outlook,       webmaster@goflyakite.com
  or Web-based interface          events@goflyakite.com
                                       forwards to:

                                  janedoe@gmail.com
Customer Support Varies
           in Quality and Availability
Consider Your Needs:                    Try This Test:

• How important is site uptime?         • Call the provider’s support service
   – Does your income depend on it?       at different times, ask questions,
                                          and measure the response
• How tech-savvy are you?
                                        • E-mail support service and see
• Does downtime drive you crazy?          how long it takes to get a reply

• Will you be able to solve technical   • Compare providers and see if your
  problems on your own?                   experience matches their claims
                                          about support
Most Providers Offer
              Additional Features
• Do you want the site to be   • Look for blog tools
  interactive?


• Will purchases be made       • Look for shopping cart services
  on the site?


• Do you need to increase      • Look for services that help submit
  traffic to the site?           your page to search engines
                               • Look for site traffic reporting tools
How Will You Design Your Site?
If You have Little Design Expertise:     If You Are Design-Savvy:

• Look for hosts that offer internal     • Make sure the host supports the
  site-design tools                        programs you use
                                            –   Dreamweaver
                                            –   Frontpage
• Templates and click/drag design           –   CGI
  allow you to create simple sites          –   MySQL
  quickly                                   –   ColdFusion

• These tools are often provided         • Understand how files are updated,
  for free with the package you select     e.g. FTP, content management, etc.
