| I have been a web master or a website | | | | host, the main thing we need to focus before |
| administrator for around a year or so, initially I built | | | | choosing a web server, are the main features like |
| two sites which were entirely made using a free | | | | PHP support, hard disk space, monthly data transfer |
| domain registrar and a free server. The free things | | | | allowed etc. The problem I faced was PHP, my host |
| are always got at the cost of quality. It applied here | | | | did not support PHP but I wanted to use WordPress |
| as well, the main problem I faced with free host was | | | | as my content management system and PHP |
| that their server up time was very low, most of the | | | | support was mandatory for that. Because of this |
| times the server was down and another problem | | | | only index.html page used to load but not index.php. |
| was server overload, since lots of websites were | | | | Since my hosting account did not allow me to install |
| built on a single server, the load was very high, as a | | | | WordPress and I decided to change the host. |
| result none of the sites would get proper resources. | | | | But changing the web host is not that easy since you |
| Since I faced the above problems, I decided to go | | | | need to change the name servers, to which your |
| for a paid domain registrar and a paid host, so the | | | | domain will point, the name server might take up to a |
| first thing I had to decide was to thing of a domain | | | | day or two for updating from previous one to new |
| name for my site and the sub-domain, as I am from | | | | one. |
| India I chose '.in' as the extension and one more | | | | Once the name servers are updated I needed to |
| reason for choosing that extension was I was | | | | install WordPress into my site and I did it using the |
| targeting visitors from India. So Finally I choose my | | | | tool Fantastico, which is built in most of the web |
| domain name as here4mobile, the reason for this was | | | | hosts. After doing all these, the only thing left was to |
| my site was about mobile phones and all related | | | | put contents on my site so that more and more |
| news. | | | | visitors start visiting my site. |
| The next thing I had to choose was a good web | | | | |
