Canadian Web Hosting Increasingly Adding Online Marketing Solutions To The Equation Value-Added Services Benefit Providers and Business Owners Alike

VANCOUVER, BC, March 08, 2013 (Press-News.org) Why the buzz about Canadian Web Hosting? We've been told this is the 'Information age', and the rapid integration of information technology into nearly every facet of our lives has had major implications across the board. A particularly noteworthy development has been the demise of phone books. Yellow Pages, CanPages and similar directory printers around the world will never have the same need for paper and printing presses again. The resources they need now - web development, digital signage, bandwidth, talent - are representative of an elemental shift that has occurred in the world of business.

Previously, the different utilities that made up what businesses defined as their 'overhead' were pretty much the same from one to the next. It is interesting to note that the one that's joined this group is also now a must-have for each. You've always needed hydro. You've always needed a telephone line. And now, you're always going to need website hosting. Yes, web hosting is the newest addition and you can count on it being just as permanently entrenched as an operational necessity for doing business.

Consider for a moment, however, how you'd likely be displeased if your telephone provider offered nothing more than the same single phone line at the same price for every customer. They connect it and begin billing you the same uniform rate every month from there on with nothing more to discuss unless you wish to disconnect. No fax lines, No caller ID, no call waiting, no 3-way calling, no nothing - just your phone line for X dollars a month, take it or leave it.

Now if that phone company somehow had a monopoly on the market this might fly, but thankfully that's not the case. Consumer demand and industry competition creates the need for providers to offer more choices, options and better-fit bundling of their services. Naturally, this now applies to web hosting providers as well and those who have successfully established themselves have done so by providing reliable web hosting at fair prices while also expanding the services offered to customers.

For starters, quality web hosting providers will have a variety of web hosting packages designed to meet the different needs of individual websites AND the objectives behind them. A shared hosting plan will not work for a large business website with dynamic multimedia and high traffic, and thus most providers will have options like VPS hosting. VPS stands for virtual private server, and without going into detail it means these types of websites have the 'elbow room' they need to operate without lag. Perhaps yours is an e-commerce website where you do a significant portion of your sales. Most web hosting providers will offer SSL certificates. These digital data encryption safeguards make in next to impossible for credit card or other financial information to be obtained by 3rd parties and the benefits of giving your customers that assurance goes without saying.

Canadian web hosting provider 4 Good Hosting is an example of one provider who has adapted very well to this business reality and made a name for themselves based on their ability to offer more than just simple hosting service to their customers. They are particularly recommended for Vancouver web hosting with the fact their servers are located in the Lower Mainland. In addition to VPS hosting and SSL certificates they also offer:

- Windows and Linux web hosting
- A simple and intuitive website builder that allows ANYONE to build a functional website
- A mobile website builder that is equally easy to use
- Website design
- Logo design
- SEO services to improve your website's search engine rankings
- Reseller hosting

Along with 24/7 customer service and a full-access control panel for every customer.

In much the same way your telephone provider strives to accommodate YOUR particular needs more effectively, web hosting providers are expanding their services out of necessity. As one individual at 4GH puts it "Those that are leading the pack and claiming the lion's share of a rapidly growing market for website hosting are those that are offering more, and that's just as it should be."

Contact 4GoodHosting to learn how they aim to take more of a role in marketing your business online rather than simply hosting your website from one month to the next.
