A host can have great uptime, great disk
space and bandwidth but if it has a bad control panel
all of that is worthless. Many of the bigger hosts will
now come with their own custom built control panels,
they may do this for branding purposes so that they
stand out from the crowd but the vast majority that
I have come across are not user friendly and are a pain
in the backside to navigate through. When recommending
web hosts to my clients I always tell them to look at
the type of control panel they will be given. The most
popular control panel at the time of writing is the
“Cpanel”; it is the most widely used, user friendly,
featured packed control panel around today. Not only
is it feature rich but also it is also easy to transfer
one site to another if you are indeed switching web
hosts. If both of the hosts use the Cpanel then exporting
a website from one host to another is as simple as clicking
on the export/import buttons! You can imagine the sort
of headaches that many users come across when they try
to transfer a site from one host to another and the
two hosts don’t use the same control panel. There are
other hosting control panel’s available but in my experience
nothing comes close to matching the Cpanel. If it’s
great features and usability that you are after then
go for a web host that uses the Cpanel. A free php forum
hosting service will cost nothing, however many people
who originally thought they wanted a free phpBB forum
hosting provider change their mind after researching
it. There are hosting companies that offer phpBB hosting
for a few dollars a month. Most free phpBB forum hosting
services only support the database that runs the forum
and do not act as a web host for your general web presence
needs. Thus, if you need to host a website along with
a phpBB forum, think about whether you need a low cost
phpBB forum hosting solution rather than a free phpBB
Forum hosting companies. Usually, the reason why a company
can offer free phpBB forum hosting in the first place
is because they know a certain number of free customers
will convert to paid customers. Often you have to transfer
away from a free phpBB forum hosting companies because
you exceed their limits, you will end up possibly paying
an over charged fee and having to experience a forum
outage while your website is transferred to a new hosting
company. In respect to the disadvantages of the free
website forum hosting and as far as free website forum
hosting is concerned, most of the users face unsatisfactory
service when dealing with the free website forum hosts.
In addition, free website forum hosts are also known
as unreliable, and do not have the same software that
paid customers receive. Given that Linux web hosting
has dropped sharply in the past year, you can now buy
affordable phpBB forum hosting, obviously you would
get more features than you would from strictly free
phpBB forum hosting. In some cases these companies charge
a fee for their hosting plan and then offer free phpBB
forum hosting support with that plan. There are many
powerful features and tools available on forums that
are relatively unknown to the average user. Also forum
hosts will use contextual advertising such as Google
Adsense to provide some form of income.
