Finding that Host that Offers the MostWhether you already have a website or are thinking of setting up shop online, sooner or later you'll have to deal with the issue of web hosting. Although it may seem like a "no brainer," there are actually many factors you'll need to consider before making this important decision. Your first inclination may be to look only at the cost, thinking "cheaper is better." However, that old saying "you get what you pay for,"is especially true in this situation. Here are some of the more important points you'll want to look at when considering your next host.
UNIX/ NT/ The two most popular hosting platforms to choose from are UNIX and NT. UNIX is by far the favorite, as it was the only choice way back in the early days of the Internet. It is easy to configure, great for setting your own file permissions and the platform for most of the free scripts available for download. It is flexible, reliable and supports scripting languages like Perl and PHP3.
NT is Microsoft's baby. One problem that I have found with NT servers is a lack of readily available scripts that work on this platform. Also, (unlike UNIX) many NT users need assistance from their Web Host Administrators to set file permissions. NT supports MS applications such as ASP, Access, FP and scripting languages such as Perl, Cold Fusion and ASP.

Site Bread and Butter work – The Web and Graphic Designer's loss of EASY dollarsWith the provision of a local ‘Control Panel', on your computer ready to adjust the slightest of web site changes, additions or corrections; Web Designers or even traditional Graphic Designers can use, web hosting company, M6.net's newest creation to bring in extra income; to reverse that loss of EASY dollars.
What is it that website clients really want from their web designers?
After the creation of a client's website, the web designer usually goes away hoping that the client will not destroy his design, believing they will; after he has pointed the client to FrontPage or Dreamweaver to maintain it. Web site clients do not really want to maintain or update their websites, most businesses have not got the time to ‘play' around, they just want the site finished and updated from time to time.
This is exactly what happens with traditional Graphic Designers; clients want to know that from time to time they can come back and update, or change totally, the content without the general design changing; quickly, and for a regular price, not a one off higher price as they were charged for the original job.
