How to choose a web hosting provider

Today in the internet information age, for any business to be really successful in Africa, you need to choose a good web hosting company. I know that it may be somewhat confusing to choose the most suitable web hosting provider, but as more businesses are moving online there are many more different options of services today and new web hosting companies emerge every months. How to choose?. The first thing you should compare is the bandwidth for your data transfer possibility. You can drive large amounts of traffic with more bandwidth. It is the same also with your disc space that you need for your website. You can store more files and data at your website with a large volume of disc space. You can also post more videos and images on your website. A reputable web hosting provider should offer you a support 7 days a week and 24 hours per day. The last thing to look is the price. An expensive web host don't necessarily provide you with services of high quality but a cheap web host can provide you with a service of high quality. Ask the web hosting provider for a free test period to see if your website can respond within a reasonable time interval and check how the provider deals with the backup of your website. Think twice before choosing and surf the internet to find a review website that can give you advices concerning the web host industry.

ADSL in South Africa

In South Africa, 2002 was the year of the launch of asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL). In the past Telkom was ruling on the South African ADSL market, but now MTN, Neotel, Vodacom, iBurst and many other wireless internet service providers in South Africa are very competitive and take market share from Telkom. With more competition in 2010, Telkom is now too expensive and should cut its ADSL prices. Most South Africans consumers don’t compare ADSL internet prices and are just signing up to an ADSL provider. South Africans can't wait and only want ADSL today and now with more connection speed. By doing a bit of research consumers can realise that Web Africa is a cheaper ADSL provider than Telkom in the market. The South African ADSL industry is changing very fast, and Telkom have lost the monopoly that they used to have. In the following years, every South African ISPs can expect more aggressive competition in this industry. This mean that the South African consumers can expect cheaper ADSL prices.
