If you are an absolute beginner this is where you should start. if you already have your own domain name and web hosting you can fast forward to part 3.
How Shared Web Hosting works is that a group of clients share virtual space on the web server. How many accounts share this virtual space varies by host. Some host providers have a few hundred shared accounts on the same server, where as others have a few thousand. Also know as virtual hosting, Shared Web Hosting shares much more than just virtual web space on a server.
If you are new to putting up websites, you might have very little idea about how much data storage space and bandwidth your site will need. First off, don't worry too much about this. Even the most professional people will tell you that themselves. Because your needs will grow as the number of visitors to your Shared Web Hosting UK increases, you will know all about it as you go along.
Get into Web 2.0 (aka Social Networking)! Start a blog (you are reading an example), post a video on YouTube, set up a company page on Facebook, post press releases online, write and post articles about your area of expertise...The possibilities are growing all the time and the more work you put in the better the results you will achieve. Don't forget to link everything back to your site!!
(3). Check Price Plan - You will be able to get access to many Affordable Web Hosting providers for your home business for less than $10 per month. Many of them offer long term plans ranging from two (2) to five (5) years, and some of these can save you up to forty percent (40%) or more over the period. If you can afford to, you should definitely choose a long term plan for the savings they offer.
Ask for reviews about particular provider in the leading hosting/webmaster forums. This way you will be able to find out more about host's reputation among its peers. You will see what are the pros and cons of the service. Note there is no "perfect provider" but there are a lot of awful ones.
My one bit of good advice is do not sign up with any server for a long period of time to start with. It will be cheaper in the long run but at first just sign up for a little while. Try before you buy, make sure that the service provider is able to meet your expectations. If it does, then sign up for a longer period and save money.
