Compare web hosting plans with Verizon web services

Do you need e-mail for 15 or 50 employees? How much disk space will your business require and how many pages will makeup your website? Does your business need a blog? How large of a site will you ultimately have? Answering these questions will help you narrow down a plan from Verizon web services' offerings. Also, you can compare these against other web hosting options to make sure Verizon's solutions are the right option for your business.

Check out the technical support for Verizon website hosting

Remember, if your site is down, you are losing business. Your business's online presence likely needs to be working 24/7. Therefore, your web site hosting company should do so as well. Verizon offers round-the-clock technical support to keep your business running. What else can they offer for technical help? Ask if you will get a dedicated server or shared server. Which one you need depends on the size of your business. Make sure your software needs also fit what Verizon website services offers.

I recommend: Small businesses need to consider technical support for a variety of reasons named by Web Hosting Geeks. Best-Web-Hosting-2008.com gives you some questions about the technical support to ask of Verizon before using their service.

Plan on hiring a designer as Verizon's web design doesn't include many templates

You likely will need to have a web designer of some sort do the design of your site. Verizon offers tips on what to consider in designing, but does not include templates to build a site for your business.

I recommend: Review business site design tips on Verizon's site. Small Business Web Solutions, Inc., is a good example of the type of service you may need to use to design your site.
