The eCommerce business is getting more attention in middle east and finding the right services provider for web hosting is one of the main tasks should be taken care to maintain the continuity of the online service without interruption.
Many small web design (companies) claim to provide hosting services here in Dubai, and Abu Dhabi (UAE) as part of the web designing packages. The reality is most of them are nothing but a representatives or resellers of other companies located back home in India or Pakistan.
We have seen many incidents where those representatives trying to keep the cost low and the profit high, by offering cheap spaces hosted in India or having VPS setups on some cheap hosting without any real security measurements. In most scenarios they share those VPS spaces between 100s of clients without taking care of the amount of memory should be allocated for every account to prevent the usage of virtual RAM (RAM Disk). The usage of HDD as virtual Ram slows the performance dramatically.
A few essential questions you need to ask your dubai web hosting provider:
- What is the name of the data center?
- Where is the data center located?
- What is the server brand name?
- What is the server processor, and the speed?
- What is the RAM installed in the server?
- How many websites running in the server?
- What are the internet ISPs connected to the data center? and do they use any intelligent network to have load balance?
- What is the average CPU utilization on the server?
- What is the average RAM utilization of the server?
- What is the Antivirus, and Firewall used on server?
