  • FTP訪問 (Browser, Site Copy, Telnet)
  • Bandwidth(數據流量 )
  • Email服務 (Email Aliases, POP3, Web-based, Forwarding)
  • 用戶腳本 (CGI, PHP, SSL, SQL, Java, perl, ASP, Asp.net, iSML, C/C++)
  • 已安裝腳本 (Counter, Form to Email, Email list, Guest book, Shopping Cart, Message board)
  • 控制面板
  • 平台(Unix, Linux, Windows)
  • 附加功能
  • Up time (reliability) and access time
  • 技術支持
網站空間大小

網站空間大小是指網站服務器上提供的存儲網狀頁的磁盤空間大小。簡單的個人網站可能50MB就足夠。如果你的網站包含很多圖片,聲音文件,視頻文件,則需要較大的空間。不同的商務網站需求各不相同。

FTP訪問(Browser, SiteCopy, Telnet)

流覽器訪問可能是上傳和管理文件的最簡單的也是最慢的方式。FTP訪問方式能使你很容易地在你的計算機和網站服務器之間傳送文件。Telnet訪問方式能給你在網站服務器執行各種操作的權限。SiteCopy方式能夠自動地把你另一個網站的內容複製到一個網站,可以在幾分鐘完成網站的設置。

Bandwidth(數據流量)

Bandwidth是訪客能從你的網站下載的總的文件大小。對一個簡單的網站一開始2GB可能就夠了。如果你預計有很多的訪客Bandwidth可能會很高。不要相信那些網站寄存商所宣稱的「無限流量」。對任何網站服務器來說流量都是有限的,所以最好先問清楚他們究竟指的是多少。你可以這樣預估你網站的流量:Bandwidth = 每月訪問數 x 每次訪問平均閱讀網頁數量變x 網頁平均大小

Email (Email Aliases, POP3, Web-based, Forwarding)

此網站服務商提供你可以使用多少此域名下的Email別名?能否使用pop3?它是否提供catchall和forward功能?能否以登錄網頁的方式訪問信箱?

可安裝腳本種類,已安裝腳本

你的網站需要用到哪種腳本?網站服務商提供那些種語言的支持?已安裝的腳本能夠有助於你簡單快捷地設置好網站。如果你想建一個社區,Message Board會經常用到。如果你想開一個網上商店,你可能需要用到Shopping Cart(購物車)。

控制面板

他們的控制面板提供了哪些功能?是否容易使用?是否允許你添加、刪除、管理Email地址?是否允許你直接添加、刪除、管理域名和子域名,還是需要等待他們的技術支持部的通過許可?

平台(Unix, Linux, Windows)

Unix是一種可靠的,適用多種語言,能夠提供很多管理操作的平台。它在企業服務器上十分流行。Unix佔有網絡服務器操作系統一半以上的市場。缺點:大小寫字符敏感。Windows NT有相對較新但是迅速增長的市場。它對新手來講更容易,服務器管理方便。缺點:沒有Unix安全,不能運行所有的CGI script.

附加功能

你可能預計到隨著你的網站的發展可能需要更多的流量,更多的功能。所以你需要注意:這個網站服務商能否提供一些附加功能?改變服務類型是否方便?所收取的費用是多少?

Up time (reliability) and access time

網站服務器必須是可靠可快速的。任何時間的網絡故障都可能流失大量客戶。對於一個商業網站,Up time應該等於或大於99.5% .

技術支持

檢查他們是否有24/7技術支持。發郵件或打電話給此網站服務商的技術服務部,看他們的回復是否有助於問題的解決?是否及時?
