Ah, the holidays — they’re upon us!
We bet you’re making your lists and checking them twice, nailing down who gets what, whether they’ve been naughty or nice.
You’re probably planning to spend time with family and maybe you’re this year’s host.
What does it take to be a host for the holidays? Quite a bit!
You should be able to provide food and drink and most importantly, have a place that’s large enough to accommodate all the friends and family coming over to celebrate. No one wants to have Thanksgiving at Uncle Jimmy’s house where there’s standing room only (but no one has the heart to tell Uncle Jimmy.)
Why are we discussing website hosting this holiday season?
Well, website hosting is a lot like regular hosting. We’ll explain.
Your web host is the physical location where your website lives and your domain name is the address that leads to that location.
When people visit your site it’s just like people visiting your home. If they can’t all fit inside then some will end up waiting, others will leave instead of waiting or being uncomfortable, and they will have a bad overall experience.
So this holiday season, if you’re planning to run sales and offers to attract more customers, consider reviewing your hosting package first. Make sure all the extra visitors can “fit” into your site to ensure that your website doesn’t go down during this critical time.

Make sure everyone has a seat at the table
