Website design and creation is not just about how it looks and works; once development is completed, you will need some space on the internet to put your website.
Unless you have the capability to host a website yourself, there are other considerations to take on-board:
How much space will I need?
All websites consume a certain amount of data - text content, images, downloadable files - everything counts towards the size of a website. You need to know how much space your website will require and ensure your host can accomodate it.
How much bandwidth will I use?
Bandwidth is the measure of data useage on your hosting account. Every time someone visits your website, some of your bandwidth will be used. Almost all hosts have a maximum monthly bandwidth allowance, which normally results in a charge or a lock on your website if the limit is exceeded. You need to know what kind of volume of traffic your website will be generating on a monthly basis.
What additional features will be required?
It's not just about the size and bandwidth. The Joomla CMS requires access to a single mySQL database to work; you need to be sure that your hosting account allows this, and that the database can be easily set-up and configured.
It all sounds very complicated! What can you do to help?
toolbox:creations can supply you with a quote for a suitable hosting package for your website, which can be paid either monthly or yearly. Prices start from as little as £5 per month.
So, no need to worry - let us take care of it for you.
