I am a webmaster for a local non-profit organization that has previously
had its web host supplied to the organization by a third party. That
party charges the organization for hosting but does not reveal any
details at all, such as the bandwidth supplied or used. I'm thinking
that the organization might be better off selecting its own web host,
but I am a novice when it comes to selecting an appropriate host. Also,
the non-profit's web address is currently owned by the third party. (I
am a member of the non-profit who volunteers to be a webmaster.)
The organization is small and almost all of its bandwidth is used for
outgoing web traffic. The storage requirement is well under 100
megabytes and my guesstimate of outgoing traffic would be 4 Gigabytes
per month peak with much lower amount during some months.
Googleing for web hosts, I see quite a wide range of charges for a
seemingly suitable amount of service, ranging from $12 per year (3iX) to
$80 per year (Mailaka). The higher figure is less than half the charge
that the non-profit currently pays.
While I understand the basics of web hosts, I don't know the details or
pitfalls that may lurk.
Any advice to help me decide whether to switch hosts and how to select a
new host?
