Finding great suppliers is sometimes a challenge.  From our experience as dental marketing experts, we often work with clients who really don’t understand what web hosting is or how to choose a web hosting provider.

1. Why It’s Important To Carefully Choose A Web Hosting Provider

   Your website lives on the internet through your hosting provider.  It’s similar to the property on which your practice sites.  If you have bad services into your building, or it has a poor foundation, your practice will run into problems with its plumbing, electrical, internet, walls etc.  With a poor hosting company the performance of your website will suffer, and should you run into any issues with the hosting or with your website you may find yourself in a rough situation.  For this reason, it’s really important to choose a good hosting provider.  Your website will run better, faster, and more efficiently.  You’ll have backups should something go wrong.  You’ll have malware protection and SSL security and more.

2. What Happens If You Choose Poorly

   The worst stories we’ve encountered are businesses lose their websites that have been hacked and there were no backups.  In other cases, the businesses wondered why they couldn’t rank high on Google and discovered that they had issues with their website that directly involved their web hosting.  As with any purchases, it pays to have an expert in your corner or to simply hire the expert to handle it for you and keep you from encountering these issues.
