Welcome to Hosting Professionals, your online source for free articles and hosting advices. If you are looking to setup a new website, change your hosting company, or you just want to know and get more from your current hosting package, hostingprofs.com has the information you need.

The website has information for both computer savvy people and people that are just discovering why they need web hosting, what bandwidth is or how a DNS server update is done. We tried to explain the rich hosting related terminology in simple terms and by giving "real-life" examples, so that the reader can easily apply the presented concepts and methods to his or hers hosting and website's related decisions. So, beside terminology and definitions you will find information about how to use your hosting control panel, how to transfer your website, how to drive traffic to your new website, how to analyze that traffic and how to apply basic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques to rank your site higher in the search engines' results.

The information found into the Hosting Articles is grouped into three categories based on the time when the information is needed:

• Before. Hosting terminology explained. Determining your hosting needs before considering choosing a hosting company;
• When. Hosting features explained. Factors you should consider when choosing a hosting package. What do you need to look for in a hosting offer?
• After. Transfer and update your website. Mail and hosting account management. Interpret your website statistics and setup a mailing list and a discussions forum. Basic SEO advices.

The Website Hosting Reviews section has hosting packages recommendations based on the idea that different customers have different needs. Unlike other web hosting reviews websites, we do not just list a top 5 web hosts table but rather list the best possible options for different hosting needs even if that means different packages from different web hosts. You can almost not go wrong with the All-Purpose Hosting package no matter the website's needs, but if you're looking for something more specific, like more bandwidth or more server resources for your growing website, try our recommended Best Traffic or VPS/Dedicated Hosting plans.
