Standard Web-hosting for AdSense websites

If you want more freedom and are serious about developing and expanding your AdSense project you will probably have to go for one of the paid web-hosting services.

You need to invest in your AdSense business

In comparison to the free options, standard web-hosting packages offer reasonable amounts of web space good bandwidths and a generous number of email accounts.
With a standard paid package you have considerable room for expansion if you ever wish to do so. For example, it is unlikely that you are going to use up more than 1 GB of storage space in the first few years of setting up your site. That is phenomenal amount of web pages (in fact it is about 6000 average sized ‘150k’  web pages). And you are not going to need a bandwidth limit of more than 5GB, except of course, if your site turns out to be extremely successful very quickly.

The amount of data that people are going to be downloading from your AdSense website (if it’s just web pages) is going to be very small for the first year. Even generous traffic levels in the region of 100 visitors a day won’t dent a bandwidth limit of 5GB per month.
And to top it all off, it is very unlikely that you will be using all of the 100 email accounts provided by the average standard web-host package.

Be prepared when deciding on your AdSense webhost

To decide on the ideal package for your AdSense website, you need to have a good idea of what type of AdSense site you are putting together. You need to know the theme intimately and you need to have good idea of how you are going to deliver it to your audience.

Planning beforehand helps you choose the best package

Having a strong idea of how your site is going to look and behave enables you to choose a specific kind of web-hosting package.
For example if you want a dynamic AdSense website that creates pages on demand, you need a few advanced features like a MySQL database and a scripting language like PHP. Or if you sites contain a lot of music and video you might lean towards a web-hosting package that offers quite a large web space.

 

Look for good service and reliability

There are times when web-hosts need to do a little housekeeping. These are the times when your service provider shuts down temporarily, and your site disappears for a short duration from the World-Wide-Web. Somewhere, in most Web-hosts site literature there will be something about ‘guaranteed uptime’. This information tells you the percentage of time the web-hosts servers remains online. Remember that an uptime of 99.9 percent could still mean 40 minutes a month downtime. So keep vigilant and read everything a web-host has about the service you are going to pay for.

Read reviews about a web-hosts service

Check magazines, websites, blogs and forums to see how a particular web-host rates among its users. Always balance out a review from a particular source with other reviews (particular reviewers might be affiliates, so they will have a slight bias towards certain web-hosts).
Browse through a prospective web-hosts site a few times to see if you like the look and feel of their website.
Remember, that you need to be very comfortable with the WHOLE package (not just the price). You are going to be in and out of their website quite regularly after you’ve signed up with them, so take your time and choose wisely.
