If you are thinking of hosting your websites on shared hosting platforms, then you will want to know the do's and don'ts of hosting. Most people will commit these fatal hosting mistakes and can cause great stress and loss. Choosing a web hosting company to host your websites can be difficult, but if you do your research and know what to look for, then you will come out on top. Our first Don't, is never register your domain name with your hosting company, even if they offer you free domain for signing up. You want to try and keep these two items separate, your domain and hosting to avoid conflict if you decide you want to leave your current hosting provider. It might cost you a few extra bucks to pay for separate domain registration, but this will be worth it and will be an added insurance for you and your site. Our first Do, is to renew your domains one month prior to your expiration date, this will save you headaches, in case you forget you need to renew. Another Do, is that you will want to read your hosting provider's TOS (Terms of Service), by understanding the TOS, you will know what to expect from billing to support. You also never want to do domain name charge backs, as this will effect your entire account and can cause your sites and domains to all be suspended while you sort out the chargeback issues. Always use the hosting provider's ticketing system versus emailing them. Emails can get lost, sometimes end up in the spam folders, but creating a support ticket via the support portal, this will be sent directly to the department and the problem will be fixed much faster. Also, please beware of cheap introductory domain pricing, like 1st year free, because for your 2nd year, you will be charged much more than anywhere else. By following these simple do's and don'ts, this will help you in your efforts to find the best hosting for your domain and sites and also help prevent unwanted stress and financial loss in the future.
