How To Choose A Good Dedicated Server In Australia

(Free Press Release) There are many web host companies in Australia that offer dedicated servers. A newbie website builder may find it difficult to know which company to work with. While most people know that a dedicated server is a good option, terms such as VPS, MySQL, DNS, PHP and cPanel are hard to comprehend unless one has a background in computers. However, by following the simple steps outlined below, one will be able to set up a website with a cheap dedicated server that provides good value for the money.

Step One - Domain Name Registration:

One does not obtain a domain name for free in most instances. Domain names are sold and the costs vary from web host to web host. A domain name is good for one year, after which one has to pay for renewal fees. However, some web hosts do provide free domain name registration for anyone who signs up for web hosting services. Obtaining free domain name registration can save one a considerable amount of money over the long term.

Step Two - Site Building:

Building a site is not easy. One will need to start by choosing a template for the site. The template includes the background, header, footer and widgets the site will have. Many web hosts help their clients by offering free templates and widgets. Web24 provides free SiteBuilder software to anyone that signs up for web host services with the site. SiteBuilder is a top of the line program that has hundreds of prebuilt templates. One can try this program out for free for thirty days at www.web24.com.au.

Step Three - Hosting Options:

Having dedicated server hosting is important. It enables a site to run well without interruptions or timeouts. There are, however, different types of hosting. Windows Hosting is commonly used; it works well and can handle pretty much any type of website. Linux hosting, on the other hand, has its own unique advantages. Linux is known to be more secure and stable than Windows, although Windows will offer programs in the future that match Linux's level of stability and security. Linux hosting is an ideal option for any site that needs to run PHP, MySQL or MSSQL. Contrary to popular misconception, one does not have to have a Linux operating system to use Linux hosting. Web hosts such as Web24 provide free applications that can be installed on the control panel. These applications make it possible for one to use Linux hosting with a Windows operating system.

PayPal Hosting:

Anyone setting up an online retail site should use PayPal hosting. PayPal is fast becoming the most popular way to pay for purchases online. While PayPal has not completely replaced credit cards, it is a lot easier to use and very secure. Any internet retail site that is not set up to accept PayPal payments will miss out on many potential customers. It is important to choose a web host that offer PayPal hosting in conjunction with accepting payments from all major credit card companies.

In Closing:

Setting up a website is a lot of hard work, especially for someone who is doing it for the first time. Choosing a good web hosting service, however, can make this difficult job a lot easier. A good web hosting service will provide not only a dedicated server but also a wide array of options that will enable a site to run well. Web24 is an Australian web host company with a great deal of experience in the field. The company has a lot to offer to any website builder that wants to create a website or blog.
