Small Business Web Hosting
If you are starting or running a small business, and have built your website using a free website builder, then you need to use a small business web site hosting package.

This is necessary because there are certain features you will require for your small business web hosting that some other website owners would not need. You need to have the kind of hosting service that will enhance your business and help you grow.

For instance, your small business web hosting will require the following:

1. Responsiveness
Your small business web host should be very responsive to your problems and requests. Your web host should make access to them very easy and fast. Secondly, they should be set up in such a way that you do not have to wait for more than 12-24 hours before getting a response to your requests.

2. Technical Support
A successful small business web hosting is based on the technical ability of the hosting company. This is why it is imperative that you use a web hosting company that is set up professionally  as "a web hosting company". You should refrain from using your ISP or free hosting for your small business web hosting services. Chances are that these companies may not have the technical ability you need to effectively support your business when there is a major technical problem.
3. Up Time
Uptime is a measure of the time your host's server system has been "up" and running. It is an indication of the reliability of the server hosting your small business web site. For your small business hosting to really support your business, it must have the facilities to keep your business "up" in cyberspace no matter what. The hosting company must have an up time not less that 99.99% to be effective.

4. Bandwidth
In your small business web hosting, the term "bandwidth" should grab your attention. It is  used to describe the amount of data transferred to or from your website within a specific period of time. It is also referred to as monthly data transfer.

Web hosting companies like Vodahost now offer unlimited bandwidth per month. For a small business web hos twith limited bandwidth, if the total amount of data downloaded from your website in a particular month reaches a given limit, the hosting company may shut off further public access to the site. However, for the web hosts offering mega bandwidths, such as vodahost, this is rarely applicable
