Web Hosting Company Cautions!



Be cautious when hiring a hosting company to host your website, many factors should be considered. First analyze your hosting needs and be mindful of the follow points...

1. Price and for what features?

2. How much storage space do you need, or will you need in the future?

3. Is there Security issues? Can you do automatic updates? Can you install modules, themes, without writing in SSH or creating an INI or PHP file? Can you install CMS, like WordPress, Durpal, Open-Cart, Joomla, Etc? And be cautious of Windows servers because if you're using CMS's like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla they usually don't handle these type of installs!

4. Is it possible to manage your domain name? add a sub-domain, make changes to (DNS) Domain Name Servers, etc?

5. Do you have c-panel access to make changes and install a database for a manual install, or to add a sub-domain, forward, redirect or even add another directory?

6. Is there technical support?... and what are their office hours, or if there is only a support center via chat or email, and then what type of time frame do they get back with you? I have literally been booted out and could not login to my ftp and or the support center and had to go to another hosting company and lose my website! Nobody from that hosting company ever got back to me!

7. Is your hosting shared server overloaded by one or many of the websites hosted on the shared server? It can cause slow loading times and give you a poorer Google rating!

8. Be careful of email storage space with an email account with your web hosting provider. Most hosting companies won't emphasis the need for unlimited email storage space that you will probably need for your companies emails. What actually happens if you don't setup unlimited email storage is that your email inbox will become full and your emails will kick back to an inbox catch-all and your emails are lost forever in cyberspace. So make sure when you sign-up for a web hosting account that you have unlimited email storage.

I just wanted to share a few of the problems and issues I have encountered over the years and help you become aware of let's just say web hosting that can ruin your search results and your last nerve!

These are just a few of the issues that I wanted to share, and I hope this helps you find a great hosting company.

Web Designing Tools

Web designing initiates with the pickup of strategy. Even before you start designing a website, it is essential to understand the techniques around web designing. Web designing is not just forming on a platform but is about plenty of hidden aspects. Website represents a company and therefore a series of strategy must be planned to give shape to a website. Knowing and venturing in the accomplishment site is essential and thus choice of layout and content will follow accordingly.


There are various aspects of a website that makes it unique and recognized. Style of a website is the primary aspect. There has been a consistent combat between flash and HTML. Flash website design has gained the attention of consumers and been much appealing at the same time it has been extremely heavy around the edges. The association of flash with video, audio and other aspects makes it heavy and in turn taking long to load up however HTML offers a great scope of expansion that makes it much preferred by corporate.


Another essential aspect of web designing is the site's objective.

A personal or business website differs in objective and thus the appearance and selection of the web designing language will widely depend on it. The exposure of a business largely depends on the website and thus appropriate scopes must be offered.

Content management system and platform is another interesting aspect that requires attention. There are websites which do not seek in for flexibility in terms of content however there are few which seek in for excellent content management system. Languages like XML, asp, java have been equally phenomenal in performance and thus the selection of language is absolutely individual perspective.


Ensuring that the website is compatible with popular browsers, there are different compatibility checks that must be done.

An incompatibility of web designed with browsers will make the complete project a failure. Most importantly, when a website is designed, a huge sum of cost gets associated with it. Website must be designed forecasting its implication and existence in future. Maintenance of the site must be considered before you start shaping your website.

Internet marketing is an essential aspect of every website which comes into consideration over the period of time. You must also make sure that you have the best technique endorsing your site to get promoted and reach the mass. Web designing should be followed considering internet marketing.


Even though there are plenty of aspects associated with web designing, it is primarily divided into graphic design, HTML structure designing, and application development and user understanding. After you have accomplished the web designing part, it is time to take a rapid feedback and reaction of consumers on the website designed. User's experience helps in identifying the flaws in the whole design better.


There are uncountable numbers of websites available over the World Wide Web however what differentiates one from another is the uniqueness and exceptional traits. So make sure that you have the exceptional trait available on the site which makes it absolutely extraordinary.

Web Designing Ludhiana share Web Designing Tools

This is likely to find the tool, the best web design. Named for the Swiss army knife of web developers , Dreamweaver can be very overwhelming at first. But with a little practice you’ll wonder how you survived without it.
Let intimidate the flash options, and Perl. What is rock on Dream Weaver compatible with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), which means you preview your work before uploading. In addition, integrates seamlessly with other Macromedia products, so if you’re a genius when it comes to creating Flash presentations is the fact that a snap.
If you want to learn a little HTML, you can also split the work screen to the WYSIWYG and HTML encoding (what better to learn to see what looks like the code really?) Display.

If the HTML encoding is your kind of thing, you can empty the WYSIWYG option to receive a whole. And if you get really good at HTML, Dreamweaver provides code hints that shows what options the code snippets and code, a panel that need to store common pieces of HTML that always seem.
Dream Weaver usually takes to learn a long time, but take courage: the value of education.

Microsoft FrontPage 2003 For those who create with Microsoft Office (including Word), the program websites work for you.
Its user-friendly interface provides easy access to editing features (unlike previous editions). As Dreamweaver, which divides the screen to display HTML and website design website hosting.He also has CSS, which means that the accumulated layers of an option.

Under the direction of the consolidation of the software and Microsoft IntelliSense, the options for the code that you, as exhibitors.
Although not as much eye candy as Dreamweaver available, FrontPage is ideal for small business and school projects.

Adobe GoLive 6.0 If you swear with the Adobe products, it’s obvious to you. The format is like any other Adobe themselves familiar with him will be easy. It also integrates all the Adobe products ityoull closely with Photoshop, Illustrator and LiveMotion. What learning means to pull other files into Adobe GoLive. How sweet is that?
But as with any Adobe, if you are not familiar with most Adobe products, you need a little time to adjust. This is a very heavy instrument, and if you are serious about implementing this web page, you could see the trade in this software to another.

Web Design Tools for Budding Web Designers

Two of the recognised industry standard tools for web design are Adobe's 'Dreamweaver' website design software package and Adobe's 'Photoshop' which is a graphics tool used for editing and formatting digital photographs. There are of course other similar software packages and additional tools such as Adobe's 'Flash' program(which handles dynamic graphics) and that anyone seriously concerned with the production of professional looking website designs should be familiar with; but essentially Dreamweaver and Photoshop  form your key components for basic web design and are, I believe, the best web design tools available.

The 'Flash' software program is a very nice to have accessory that can provide an added dimension to your designs, but should be used within the context of the design brief.

There are a number of versions of Dreamweaver available but they all effectively perform the same or similar functions.

It is a professional HTML editor for designing, coding and developing websites, web pages and web applications. The application offers 2 design environments in which to work, the code view and the design view. You can also select a 'split' view that lets you see both the code and design views simultaneously.

The design view (visual editing features) allows you to very quickly create web pages without the need to write the associated code that lies behind the design, Dreamweaver takes care of this on your behalf. You can drag in and position the various page elements from an adjoining panel and streamline the development work flow by creating and editing images in third party graphics applications such as the aforementioned 'Photoshop' or Adobe's 'Flash' program.

What you will find in practice is that although you can in theory design a website completely from the design screen that you will in fact combine both functions to produce your designs more effectively i.e. typically the basic design is drawn together using the visual editing features and then the coding view is used to fine tune your design to complete the final details. From my experience, it is likely that as you become more familiar with the program that you will find yourself utilising the coding functionality more and more, particularly for managing the pure code aspects of the design such as CSS functionality (cascading style sheets).

Photoshop also comes in many versions and forms, but again the basic functionality is very similar for the different versions. Photoshop allows you to configure and manage static images such as digital photographs or generated images that you may have created within the program. One of the key benefits of Photoshop is that it is relatively easy to use and has been developed with website integration in mind. You can create and save files for the web, reducing resolution for fast loading on the Internet whilst retaining the quality of the image to a level where the differences to the original file are for all intents and purposes indiscernible.

It goes without saying that in order to benefit from any of the programs mentioned, any budding web designer should consider taking a web design course to at least get the basics sorted out. My recommendation would be that any courses that are undertaken would include what I consider to be the two core industry standard software packages mentioned and ideally would also include a basic course on the use of Adobe's 'Flash Program'.

There are also many free courses and lots of information on the Internet to cover almost every topic, including website design, and once you are past the basic principles and standard practices stage of your development you will find that these courses plus practical experience will prove invaluable for further development of your design skills.
