Website Hosting For e-Commerce Websites
I was speaking at a seminar in 2005 and the speaker before me was asked about who to use for website hosting for e-eommerce websites. The speaker replied that it really didn't matter because all web hosting companies are alike.
That is absolutely NOT so!
Back in my early Internet days, my #1 consideration for choosing any product or service was cost. Accordingly, I chose a web hosting company for my new website, seeing huge numbers of e=Commerce dollars in my future. But to my horror, I woke up one morning and discovered that my precious site loaded with an obscene cartoon and all kinds of pornographic words and descriptions (what kind of loser spends his life hacking sites for this purpose?)
1. The website host didn't inform his clients about this disaster.
2. About two weeks later, we received an email that admitted the hacking - and asked the hosting customers for suggestions on what to do! Like I had the faintest clue.
Needless to say, I was gone the very day I discovered this atrocity and have been much more discriminating since.
