Greetings All,
If you try to check out marketingbyann.com site in the past few days, for sure you got disappointed because the site is down! Not only this one, few of my other sites also down as well 
One of the server that the Hosting Service Provider I am using got a big serious (DELL server) problem, which caused 5 to 10 percent of their customers’ sites down for few days, unfortunately, I am one of the customer in this list.
If you have taken the time to have a look online recently you may have noticed that there is an almost endless quantity of web hosts. An exact figure is virtually impossible to ascertain due to the fact that new hosting services debut regularly. After going through all the trouble and expense of having your website designed, you are more than likely interested in finding the best web host you can get to make sure that all of your requirements are met.
I have been using Kiosk hosting services for many years and happy with their top notch 24/7/365 customer service even though their hosting package is not cheap compare with other providers.
I was using the other hosting provider’s service before I move my sites to the kiosk, since then I didn’t change host.
Honestly speaking, normally, their server is secure, stable and reliable, but this time the length of downtime is really a big nightmare experience for me, I can’t do anything with my sites, just have to be patient and wait for the problems get sort out.
I bet you could understand the frustrations I was facing in the past few days, especially for a person whose business heavily rely on the websites. I shared my feelings with my Tweeps, the response was incredible, they strongly recommended Hostgator .
Well, the company’s president Joe did keep his customers informed through twitter post and email. In the past 72 hours, his entire teams were working hard to get problems fixed.
Well, what happens is happened, so let it go, the good thing is that the sites are all back on now and load faster than before 
This experience taught me a few things. I like to share them with you in today’s newsletter.
First, if you have different multiple sites, don’t get all of your sites hosted in one provider’s server, separate them by using different hosting service providers, doing this way – if there any host firm’s server got problem or failed, you just got one site down but not other sites.
For convenience, also for easy manage to manage the sites, I put all the sites in one basket, which got bit hit!
Secondly, get right web hosting solution may be easier if you are familiar with this industry, the web hosting company that you choose can mean the lot of difference between traffic to your website and no web traffic. The quality of the web hosting company is important. However, if you are not aware about the hosting services, it can drive you nuts.
In general, you may not need to spend lot of money on a web hosting in order to get a great deal. It has to depends on your own site’s needs and want first, then you have to look into the type of server you are going to choose. But you do have to look around a little and make sure that you’re making an educated decision when you finally pick a web hosting company.
On the surface it seems like a smart business decision is to choose the cheapest web hosting company you can find. But, free isn’t always good thing, cost should never be the deciding factor when you’re choosing a web hosting company. You might be tempted to choose a free hosting service or one that only charges a couple of dollars per month but don’t forget to look more closely at that company’s Terms of Service to see what you’re really getting for that cost, you’ll be surprised.
Thus, before you make any decision, do a Web Hosting Comparison Study is always a good thing to do. An interruption in hosing could really hurt your business.
Third, the hosting firm must have various support methods offer where you can reach them easily if there any unexpected things happening, such as support room, online support chat, phone number to call and hot-line etc.
In my case, Kiosk did a good job – they keep their customers updated by using different channels.
The other thing to consider is the amount of space, how many meg or gigabytes and how much bandwidth that you’re paying for is important. If you sign up with a hosting company that limits your space, you will have limited opportunity for growth. You won’t be able to store large files on your Web site or use a lot of the cutting edge multi-media tools that web surfers have come to expect.
It’s especially important if you are in a highly competitive industry. If you are in a very densely populated industry and you want to get your web site noticed, you need a good Web Hosting Company that will give you the advanced tools to integrate new technology into your Web site.
The fact of the matter is that the web hosting business is a very competitive business and this is the reason of why so many of them close their doors and go out of business not long after they have opened.
Since the demand of internet marketing is continuously increasing, hence the importance of web hosting service is tremendously on a higher edge. Without a proper or dedicated hosting, it is impossible for a website to get good business online.
In regarding to the service quality and support, if you are looking for good web hosting solution provider, I still highly recommend Kiosk .
