The heart of your Website... The HOST!

Its been an interesting journey on the so called, "Interweb" the last month I've been on my cyber adventure into the world through the eyes of a webmaster. I've practiced SEO tactics, built backlinks, joined with affiliate sites with the same niche. However, on this mission I there is one thing in particular I had a problem with finding "the right one" and resulted in me choosing to cancel and go with a different decision quite a few times.

What is this you ask? The web hosting! You can have the best html built, custom coded, SEO friedly website in the WORLD, but without good hosting services then your website is merely nothing! This is very true, as when it comes down to it, EVERYTHING depends on your hosting provider and its services.

Think of your hosting provider as the "Heart" of your website, and your files, folders, ect as the websites "skeletol system". Without the heart beating the bones, muslce, and even brain cannot function correctly! Poor or bad hosting services with your great website could lose you hundreds if not thousands of potential customers! When a guests visits your website he/she is NOT going to want to sit around for 2-3 minutes for EACH page to load! Eventually the potential customer will get frustrated and leave. This goes for poor uptime as well, if a member returns and see's that the websites hosting is completely down, thus making all of its content unaccessible! You will QUICKLY lose alot of traffic, trust me i learner FIRST HAND!

After trial and error several times, and even loosing money from a few crooked websites who promised refunds but did not fulfil their promise!(be careful) I finally stumbled upon a type of hosting company I had never heard of.
The words "HostxPros" with the subtitle, "Professional Offshore Web Hosting". I did some research, found only a few reviews that weren't bad. I decided to check out the prices next, and to my huge surprise the prices were very cheap! Baffled by the prices i decided to do some research on this so called "Offshore Web Hosting". From what I was able to come up with, Offshore Web Hosting is simply hosting servers which are located offshore(obviously), where laws permit a few more laws as far as "whats allowed" on your website.

Don't freak out, it doesnt allow anything out of the ordinary from the web or bad in anyway. I have found out that the MAIN reason websites use offshore web hosting services is because the prices are way CHEAPER and it allows forums owners to make forums that use a technique called "warez linking" This is where forum owners make forums based on members posting "warez LINKS" to other places where they can download warez or what not. Although they allow the linking of warez, offshore it is still illegal to directly host warez on any web server and or website(Just like the USA).

I conclude this article with this:
If your looking for CHEAP but very reliable hosting services to fit into your budget, then offshore web hosting is a great service to go with. I found that a majority of BIG , KNOWN, websites use offshore hosting not for the permitted laws, but simply for the outstsanding services at such a cheap rate. I guess its the conversion rate, or our money may be worth more in some offshore locations where these hosting companies are!

If you need recommendation : I currently host all my websites now on a very nice offshore server with 99.9% uptime and great 24/7 customer support to members AND non members
