Selecting
and contracting a reliable hosting company is crucial to the success
of any web presence. We are happy to advise our clients on the
various options available while emphasizing those which we believe
will best meet the needs of the client at launch and long-term.
Some
of the basic considerations for hosting are:
- Platform
(Windows NT, Unix, Linux)
- Disk
Space Required (Mb)
- Data
Transfer (Amount of Traffic)
- Ecommerce
enabling
- Database
driven requirements
The
platform must be finalized before any custom applications can
be developed since some are platform specific. Although some custom
applications can be ported over from platform to platform often
a noticeable performance hit will be observed.
