| Depending
on the purpose of your site, you
will have different needs in a
host. If you have your own domain
name, here is a list of basic
features that your web host
should be providing you: 1. Logs
and stats for tracking site
visitors. E.g. where they are
coming from, what days/times,
what files are most popular, etc.
2.
A gateway for browser/server
interaction. CGI is the most
common, but other technologies
are also popular such as ASP,
Cold Fusion, PHP, Java Servlets,
etc.
3.
Ample disk space, transfer
limits, e-mail accounts, quick
support, fast connectivity and
minimal downtime.
