Web Site Hosting
There is one essential part of having a website that is often overlooked by customers. The need for website hosting.
What is hosting?
Your web site host is the place where your web site sits out there on the internet. It is a physical computer server that is connected to the internet all of the time so that the rest of the world can see your site.
How do you choose a hosting provider?
That can become complicated in in itself. Anyone who has ever chosen a mobile phone plan knows how complicated all of the options and features can be and choosing a hosting provider is no different. Above all, speed, reliability and security should be at the top of the list of important considerations.
There are endless numbers of hosting providers, and it really doesn´t matter where in the world you host your website at all, however Bloo Goo has established relationships with reliable providers and can nominate the most appropriate host for your site.
How much does hosting cost?
This can vary greatly! It all depends on how big your site is and the features you require in your site. For a reliable hosting provider with good reputation and security, an average site will be around $270 (GST inc) a year, and a very large site could be around twice that. Hosting fees can also be paid monthly, however it is cheaper if they are paid 12 monthly. See our pricing schedule for more information
What else do I need to organise?
At Bloo Goo, we like to do everything for you and take the confusion out of things like organising hosting, or registering your domain names. However these are tasks you can organise yourself or have Bloo Goo build your site for you, and organise everything else as well. We want whatever is easiest for you!
