1. How to make site accessible?

If one has applied for a web host provider he/she should take several aspects into consideration for e.g. what time it takes to load, the period of time it is up etc. These aspects are very important because problems are present related to them, this can create extreme irritation and renouncement of the potential visitors.

As search engines due to difficulties in loading do not show those web pages which are always down. That’s why the same potential can have complications in locating one’s website.

The best way to check if the server is up or not is by looking over the reviews written by other persons who have applied for the server before the user.

2. Is the host offering SSL??
