| Continuing on the conversation of web hosting and the right packages, we now need to turn our attention to what a fast web hosting or ecommerce web site hosting package really means for your site.
Example one, a website that has very little information, small images and few visitors a month, let us say 5,000 a month.
This site can be hosted on almost any server and be done quickly. Because the size of the files and usage.
Now if your site is, let us say, a dictionary site that offers information for free with paid advertising banners.
They have 100,000+ queries/searches on the database, large images and lots of information per page and each visitors surfs a minimum of 2-4 pages.
This site will have bandwidth limitations on most packages which will slow the site considerably and can cause the site to stop functioning if it ever reaches the limit. Therefore a high trafficked and high file size requires a dedicated server or alike to maintain all the information continuously online, which would be fast web hosting for them.
You can see where the differences come in. It is not necessarily in the server you use, but how your site is use that will determine the sites speed.
So if a site says fast web hosting, remember it means nothing, you know your site and what it requires.
So first think of approximate visitors per month and double it for safety.
Then look at the disk space and size of information each visitor will look at.
As a result you can determine the right bandwidth and disk space package and create your truly fast web host.
