In a nutshell, hosting is the service required to keep your website and email up and running on the internet 24/7. The most important aspects of hosting is your uptime (is your website up all of the time?) and service speed (is your website fast to load, and if it breaks is it quick to be fixed?).

Choosing the right hosting company

It is critical that your website is online ALL OF THE TIME! We all know you only get one chance at converting internet leads, and you don’t want to lose it because you didn't want to pay an extra few dollars a year on hosting. Additionally, if your hosting goes down, not only does your site disappear, but also your email access - which is definitely not a good thing!

The service needs to be local. Having Brisbane-based hosting is definitely a plus if you are a Brisbane business. The service provider needs to be local and easy to contact preferably by phone.

Having your hosting local will also reinforce to Google and other search engines that your business is local and hence better than the competing website that is located in Texas...

 Our shameless plug:

iSonic ticks all of these boxes and stores every website hosting in an underground secured high speed data centre located in Brisbane CBD. Our hosting average $360inc per year for client sites and email combined. We also design a free splash page for you if you don’t have a website as of yet!

Until Next Time.
