Web design & hosting forum: Web Hosting Startup Question

that your website requires, then yes, you can start with this and upgrade later. Make sure you register a domain separately (not with InMotion) so you don't depend on them unlocking it later if you decide to move to another host. Also, make sure they offer regular backups and also remember to make your own backups of your files and database.

Matt,

At InMotion Hosting, upgrading is a fairly easy process and is completed by the technicians - you wouldn't be required to move over the files and whatever you paid for your hosting would be applied to the upgraded server automatically. Also, depending on the size of your account backups are taken, but be sure to confirm with a technician if your website is too large to have automatic free backups. Either way, it is always recommended to create your own backups periodically just in case.

Hi Matt
This shouldn't be a probelm at all, if your hostprovider is a quality hostprovider. Don't forget to do
a goole serch for reviews on inmotion hosting. My first host provider was terrible and I found my current hostprovider, from a poll done by webmasters, where my hostprovider won gold in best service.

I have only had a fantastic service and can upscale whenever I need it.

Matt,

I would advice not to go with people saying which hosting is better and which hosting service is not. Browse the internet your self to know better! In the end it should match your requirements and make you ha[[y with their services. maybe you can look up some names, but make sure they provide what you need.
