Web Hosting in Pakistan

Are you confused about choosing the web host in Pakistan for your site? As a matter of fact you should be, as every hosting company claims very high uptimes, half hour of support response time, daily backups and many other things that you really want to go for.

Here we will summarize some hosting industry standards that you should count for before choosing the hosting of your mission critical website.
Let me emphasize, that choosing a hosting company for your e-commerce business is the most important decision that you will ever take. Some of the factors that you will need to compare will be uptime and support.

While going for uptime, one most important factor that you should not ignore is how long the hosting company is in business (PakReseller.com is providing web hosting Pakistan since 7 years now). Any company who is in the business since months can claim a 100% uptime. While if the same is claimed for years, it is usually too good to be true.

In Shared web hosting it is usually that you run in to problem, especially while deploying your web application. You may face incompatibility issues or may need extra privileges that do not come with your package. You will need fast responses for your tickets. If your company is replying for once in a day, you may need weeks to deploy the application or even fix a simple thing. The old formula of looking for 4S (Service, Support, Software Space), does not fits well for choosing web hosting now a days.

Price is usually not a factor when we talk about mission critical web hosting. The web hosting on which your business model relies on needs to be ultra reliable. Off course no one will risk the business repute and large profits just to save a few thousand rupee per year. Let me add that if you are looking for a web hosting company in Pakistan, you may not have so many choices, as there are only few hosting companies that you can rely on.
