As a follow-up to my recent updates to the Finding the Host page of the site, I’ve decided to create a short video demonstrating the process of finding a host for a domain Web site.

The video, which lasts about five minutes, takes the user through the process of finding the host for this site, instructing on the use of the Domain Tools Web site and various features of it.

The video is my first attempt at such a screencast so it is far from perfect. There also seemed to be a minor encoding issue when I uploaded the video to Revver. I might try a different video sharing site in the future.

Please let me know what you think of the video. I’ve embedded it below.

Going on the hunt for web hosting can be daunting. When I started my football forum I needed a windows server specifically so I could run an asp program. Affordable windows servers hosting is even harder to come by if you don’t do the proper searches for it. I like being able to do a blanket search for a few things of what I am looking for in a web hosting service such as space and cost. Once you get a list, you can get more in depth of exactly what they offer verses the other companies listed and check out how they are rated by customers or prior customers of those particular companies because in the end it could save you a lot of hassle.

WebHosting Choice lets you search for the space you need, amount you are willing to pay, setup fees you are willing to pay and how much bandwidth you think you might use. I did a quick search for pretty much the minimum of $5.00/month, 500 MB of space, zero setup fee and 1 GB of bandwidth. I was pleasantly surprised at the list of choices, the first of which included hostgator for $6.95/month with 3500 MB and 50 GB of bandwidth. That’s cheaper than what I am paying now with more space. There is also some helpful information for you to be on the lookout for when getting a hosting package in their scams section. I keep trying to tell some people about the one where they offer to buy your domain name for you but if you get ticked off at that hoster and move to another one they could potentially keep your domain as hostage. It is a bad situation all around. WebHosting Choice offers some excellent resources and information for even the most newest of people who think this is a daunting task can get the help they need.

Our new dedicated servers have just arrived. With improved specifications and lots more power, they’re a great step up from shared hosting.

If your website’s outgrown your current solution, or you just want more control and flexibility, now could be the time to look at a dedicated server. Ours start from just £39 a month.

Why go dedicated?

With a dedicated server, you get the whole server to yourself. The memory, the RAM, the processor’s time: it’s all yours. If you’re running a website, it means your pages can be served quicker and your applications run faster.

You also get full control over your server with root access. It means you can run and install whatever you want - though if you take advantage of this, you’ll also be responsible for making sure everything’s kept secure and up-to-date. So some technical knowledge is necessary.

If you think you might be ready to move up a level then here’s a taste of what 123-reg dedicated servers have to offer:

  • Dell and Intel hardware - we trust these names, and so can you.
  • Single or dual core processors - choose which suits your bandwidth - there are no excess charges, so you know what you’ll pay each month.
  • Two dedicated UK IP addresses - so your site’s search ranking won’t be affected by other websites on your IP.
  • Choose Ubuntu Linux or Windows - open source or not, it’s up to you.

There are loads more features. To find out more, check out our new dedicated server range now.
