For internet pure players, their website(s) is the primary source of business income. There are many individuals and enterprises which rely on the internet alone for their earnings. Usually, this involves setting up and running of ten or more websites simultaneously by a single organization or individual. Management of multiple websites may not be a cakewalk and it is essential to keep them up and running 24X7, all through the year.
Depending on a single web hosting company will expose your business to significant risk. If the server fails at any time, all your websites will go offline, leaving you helpless. It is better to host your websites with 3-4 web hosting providers. This may seems to be more expensive and time-consuming but it has various benefits too.
The cost of web hosting doesn’t form a large part of a single website business owner’s budget. However, for 15-50 websites, your web hosting costs will be substantial and may lead to business failure or success alone. To minimize such costs, use reseller hosting accounts for hosting some of the new or small websites at a small cost ($15- $30). Use a dedicated server for large and critical websites.
Verify that the uptime availability isn’t less than 99.9%. Server updates or failures can lead to downtime of upto half a day or more. This leads to huge losses for websites which provide substantial income to their owners and are very popular among customers. This situation can be avoided by hosting websites on different servers.
Online business websites involve huge amounts of data transfer. Sensitive customer information, sales records and payment details are common information available on a website. All these are stored by web hosting companies through their backup and statistics software. Using multiple web hosting accounts will allow you to switch information to another domain if one fails.
With too much choice and too little clarity, you may end up buying the wrong hosting plans. This is fatal for your business. Search, compare and choose the right web host with best price, features, security and experience before making a commitment. Then, you can be assured of effective management of your multiple websites online business.
