Service is another thing that is all important. You need knowledgeable people available 24/7 and since the worst inevitably happens outside of business hours...
Generally every time we change hosts, we have to change again within a short time. We have gone through a number of hosts in New Zealand, Australia, and the USA. Now with a dedicated server on Hosting Direct, we have found a professional service that works - I have been able to forget about hosting for the first time in years!!!
What did I not like with the other shared and vps services?
- SLOW
- Constantly going down, even the NZ VPS that I had
- Expensive - especially international bandwidth
Business Web Hosting Specs
- Both national and international bandwidth are free. This saves me hundreds every month meaning that I don't have to worry when my SEO efforts make a website internationally popular!
- Website availability monitoring - http headers requested every 5 minutes with issues escalated to support engineers.
- Automatic back-ups happen daily
- Mail is held independently on other servers rather than on the Dedicated server. This means spam attacks are not going to take down the web server, nor busy email times use up valuable processing power.
