From the smallest startup to the largest International corporations, GlowHost is seeing an incredible amount of organizations looking to social media as an important tool for their business. More and more people are not only running campaigns across several social media outlets, but they are also searching for new and inventive ways to integrate social media into web hosting accounts.

With such popularity, it is strange to think that a little over ten years ago, social media wasn’t even conceptualized. The leading websites that make up 22% of the USA’s time spent online – Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter – are not even ten years old. This relative infancy means that social media should still be rigorously examined, user trends should be carefully monitored, and nobody should start promoting their business through social media without knowing all the facts.

GlowHost has collected some of the most fascinating facts surrounding social media, giving our shared web hosting, cloud virtual dedicated server hosting (VDS), and dedicated server hosting customers the head-start they need to see their social media presences flourish.

When you are looking to start using a web hosting service, there are many technical features that you should be considering in order to make an informed decision. With hosting covering a very wide range of products from shared web hosting to hosting ‘in the cloud,’ finding the right hosting solution for your business can be, at times, overwhelming.

There are, however, a number of other factors that should play a key part in your decision making process. In addition to the hardware hosting solution itself, it’s important that you understand the other features of your chosen web host. Often, the best value for your money and return on investment (ROI) comes as a result of service-related features, including customer support, service level agreements, and additional services included in your overall package.

In the world of business, time is money. And in order to maximize return on investment (ROI), companies must attempt to get things done quickly. This is especially true in the online marketplace.

When considering revenue, the longer that your website is in development and closed to customers, the greater the likelihood that your potential sales will move to one of your competitors.
