Consulting for web hosting

Web hosting – or simply hosting – means the provision and placement of Internet projects or websites on servers which are usually publicly accessible via the web. Web hosting services are offered by service providers. Key elements of web hosting services include the capacity of the web memory, number and type of databases and script languages available, the access and configuration options which are linked to the account, data volume (traffic) and bandwidth limitations as well as settings and memory space for e-mail accounts. An important component for the related costs is the capacity and performance of the server as well as the question as to whether a server is used by a single project/customer on an exclusive basis or whether hosting services are shared.

Web hosting consulting helps to select the right hosting package. In addition to the fixed costs of web hosting, other important aspects are the costs which become payable when traffic limits are reached and future options for upsizing or downsizing a given project when expectations concerning the user of a particular offering are either exceeded or not fulfilled.
