4 consejos para elegir el mejor hosting

La tarea de elegir el mejor hosting es complicada y más teniendo en cuenta que en Internet vas a encontrar decenas de empresas que te ofrecen hospedaje y todas se anuncian como la mejor. Es por eso que hemos decidido darte algunas pautas para que puedas elegir un hospedaje de calidad y a un buen precio, ya que lo complicado es encontrar alojamiento a un precio aceptable.

Pautas para elegir el mejor hosting

A continuación te damos algunos consejos para que puedas elegir el mejor hosting:

1.     Pagos mes a mes - A la hora optar por un hosting u otro, es fundamental que puedas pagar mes a mes. Todos te harán descuentos si pagas un año entero o incluso dos, pero no deberías hacerlo. Cuando empiezas no sabes si la empresa es seria, así que lo mejor es pagar mes a mes, y cuando veas que responden bien, pagar un año para obtener un descuento. Esto se puede evitar, si contratas tu hospedaje con una empresa de reconocido prestigio, como Hostgator.
2.     Sin límites - El mejor hosting es aquel que no te pone límites en cuando a la tasa de transferencia, los dominios alojados y el espacio web que ocupan tus páginas. Hay algunas empresas que tienen planes de este tipo, y una vez más, los de Hostgator son los mejores que puedes encontrar.
3.     Precio económico - Todo el mundo puede darte el mejor hosting si te cobran una cifra astronómica, pero no todos lo pueden hacer cuando te cobran poco. El precio es un factor fundamental y por eso si buscas pagar poco, no encontrarás nada mejor que lo que te ofrece iPage, quizá la empresa de alojamiento web con los precios más baratos de Internet.
4.     Servicio de atención al cliente - Un hosting es bueno o malo en función de cómo sea su departamento de atención al cliente, que es el que te va a solucionar los problemas. Para que sea bueno, tienen que responder rápida y eficazmente a nuestros problemas. Por eso, siempre opta por empresas de reconocido prestigio, como las dos que hemos nombrado antes.

Estas son algunas de las pautas a seguir si quieres elegir el mejor hosting, aunque nuestra recomendación es que no te la juegues, y sólo mires aquellas empresas de las que todo el mundo habla bien y que tienen prestigio en el mundo del webmastering. Si no lo haces así, puedes acabar desesperado, ya que lo peor es una empresa de hosting que no sólo no responde a tus problemas, sino que además te los crea, no los soluciona, y lo que es peor, niega que existan esos problemas.

How To Install A Wordpress Plugin

One of the first places I look when I;m trying to figure something out is YouTube. There are tens of thousands of videos created for everything from the proper form for push-ups to how to install a WordPress blog. Before paying someone to help you learn something, see if you can find the information and figure out what you need to know - with a little help from a YouTube video. If not, like with a mentor, look for a referral to someone who can help you with training in the area you need.

A lot of my friends have suggested me to speak about the several ways to promote your blog - for free, of course. After creating, developing and optimizing your blog?s structure (check some of my older posts), on this post I?ll be giving out some suggestions on how to promote your product. Most of web users still don?t understand the true concept behind Twitter (why telling other people what you?re doing at one exact moment, right?), but the fact is that Twitter is one of web?s top channels to promote your website, make no mistake. Even if you don?t like it, use it for your blog?s sake! I personally find it extremely valuable, to promote new tools, good news or articles (even if I?m not their author). You can both promote them yourself, or simply use a cool wordpress plugin that will do the job for you. Another great practice is to offer your readers a simple and effective way for them to promote your posts. By installing, for example, the ?Sociable? plugin, a few links to your favorite social bookmarking sites will be added to each of your posts, pages, or RSS feeds (all of this being totally customizable). You can choose from dozens of social network websites, and it couldn?t be easier for your blog readers! It may sound silly and obvious but.. always write your own content! That way, you can promote your own writing style, your own ideas, and really leave your mark. By coping other people?s content (even if referring their original source) you?re not creating your blog, but just repeating information that is already published somewhere else. Be unique, smart, attentive, and try to promote your blog by showing your readers that you write about ?hot? topics. Use plugins and widgets on a balanced way (make sure that all of your content is easy to access, simple and clean). Here are some good examples of tools that you may want to adopt to your blog (obviously depending on each concept and market niche). Use them together with the other recommendations that I?ve been doing on this section?s previous posts. - WP Related Posts: this plugin prints some links to other posts within the same topic (based on your tags). Of course you can also manually run a ?related posts? section also by simply ending your article with other relevant things you?ve written that readers might like to check out; - OpenID Comments for Wordpress: by using this plugin, your users will be allowed to use OpenID for authentication; - WP-Polls: build some interactivity into your blog by creating several polls (same of them can be short-term polls, but others can last for several months). With this plugin, you can print the polls randomly, anytime that a page is refreshed. - Popularity Contest: this plugin counts the number of views, comments and trackbacks for each of your posts, to basically create your ?best of?. This is an extremely interesting tool, as blog readers usually feel attracted to the most popular or most visited links. Feel free to tell us your experiences with wordpress, and perhaps suggest some other tools that you?ve been using with success. See you next time!

 Today I will tell you a simple method where you can install and upload your essential Themes and Plugins from your wordpress dashboard. So let’s see how it will be done. At first open your Hosting Panel.

 

Once you have your domain and hosting set up, you should be all ready to install wordpress on your web hosting. Go to the cPanel of your web hosting. If you are not very good with computers, there is a great tool most web hosting services have called an auto-installer, which, after filling in a few instructions, will automatically install wordpress for you upon selection. However, if your web hosting does not offer and auto-installer, then you will need to know how to install wordpress yourself. Just go to wordpress.org, download the most recent version of wordpress, and follow the instructions of the video shown to install wordpress on your website.
