What to look for in a CMS Web Host
So you’ve been thinking of starting a new website and found the perfect content management script. Now, which web host do you choose? It’s a tough question and that’s why this article is being written. I want to give you some piece of mind on things to look for when searching for your new cms web host. First off, there is one word you will want to look for in your hosting prospects, Fantastico.
Fantastico is a script application put into cPanel that includes a number of different scripts which you can install with just a few mouse clicks. Fantastico will normally come stacked with your usual content management scripts including Joomla, Xoops, Mambo, and many others.
With fantastico inside your cpanel hosting there is no need to go download your content management script – it’s already there for you! You can have your new CMS installed and running with about 3 mouse clicks and in about 5 minutes.
So, you’ve search google and found cheap web hosting provider that includes fantastico. Next, do some research on the web about that web host. Try to find some reviews, server statistics, and other information to know you are going with a trusty website host and not someone that experiences a lot of downtime or has never been used by a single person.
One final tip when searching for a CMS web host is to look for pricing.
Compare your prospective web host’s with others on the web. You don’t want to go with the cheapest. However, smaller web hosting companies will charge an arm-and-a-leg for small amounts of disk space and bandwidth. Expect to pay between $2-$4 for 10-30Gb of disk space and 30-100Gb of bandwidth. This is a steady going rate that will tell you you’re not being ripped off and your server is probably not being “over sold.”
