Why Faster Websites?
On the Internet, thousands of millions of hours are spent daily by millions of users around the world. You should know that your website might get only a few seconds out of that, which is lot less than 0.0001% of the whole time spent daily. No visitor likes to wait for your website to “load”, so you better make it come up very fast, and instantly if possible! You should use the time you’ve got in front of a real eye “dispalying” your content rather than “loading” it!
Based on this, I’m going to teach you how to make your website load faster and faster and faster… Just read all the tutorials and learn how to impress your visitors, competitors and friends!
I’m basically a “speed maniac” web developper, and what ever else says my “About” page!
You can find other speed maniac people over the internet like AskApache who contributes to the developpment of faster and efficient websites. I hope you’ll become a speed guru after reading these tutorials and would make faster websites and blogs.
In this article, let’s see what “basic” tools you need to start with.
Choosing the Right Web Hosting
For starting a website, you need a webhost, i.e. someone who hosts your files, pages and content on the internet, and delivers these contents to your visitors.
On my experience, you should avoid getting involved with many different web hosting providers for your different websites. The reason is simple: Management and Cost!
Choosing the right web hosting is a very important decision to make. There are lots of articles and advertisment and promotions on the web to make you choose one webhost or the other. I would personally and professionally recommend zeBestWebHosting web hosting. They use world’s number 1 state of the art technololgy and have a perfect customer support, and a very easy to use control panel with all features you need and would ever need. Prices reasonable and very competitive.
The BIG advantage of hosting and registering your domain through zeBestWebHosting is that you get full DNS access to your domain(s) and can modify your DNS records easily to support Google Apps for example.
I would recommend that you avoid Free Webhosting or cheap webhostings seriously, as it costs more to buy cheap!
Another good webhosting, is HostMonster who provides you with the latest technologies in hosting, and a good customer support. HostMonster, as well as zeBestWebHosting, both support InnoDB for users who wish to install Magento.
I’ll let you choose your webhosting, and when you’re ready, we’ll go forward on setting a correct architechture for your data to make it more user friendly, faster and more efficient.
