Web hosting requirements to host your website – This is a very basic question, what kind of hosting is required to host my web site? Think more about your web site first. What technology do you use? which web server? what would be daily / monthly traffic? how much server space is required? etc.

Once you finalize your requirements then your web hosting requirements would be clear. Lets discuss about the basics. LAMP platform is most popular in this market. LAMP is Linux os, Apache web server, MySQL database and PHP language. Most of the open source (CMS, blog, forums, gallery etc) scripts are based on LAMP. If you don’t know much about web designing and web hosting then just opt for LAMP platform.

Another popular platform is ASP .NET for web developement. Visual Studio .NET IDE is the most popular IDE to design quality web site fast. But you need ASP .NET developer to design your web page. There are open source CMS on ASP .NET but they are not as popular as PHP MySQL open source script.

J2EE is another platform where you use Java, any database, tomcat / Apache web server. This is the most powerful and flexible platform. Your web site can be extensible and powerful. Development cost would be very high as you can find J2EE developers are busy with quality work and they will charge you a lot for a simple web site.

Conclusion: If you are a small business owner with little budget then go for LAMP. Get a coder on LAMP platform and get your work done. Opt for open source scripts. It will save lots of your money because you don’t need to spend money on testing / QA. Open source scripts are tested by millions of user and they are bugs free.

If you have very little budget then you can develop your web site on some html / css template. You can find all web hosting and web developement resources at INDIWebHsot.Com
