Host 2: 00:31 Hello everyone. Welcome to On The Net, where it’s all about your online presence. Thanks for joining us! This podcast is designed to make doing business online easy for web designers, developers, bloggers and online marketers of every shape and size. Whether you are new to buying web hosting or running a website, this podcast show will be able to answer your most burning questions. New ecommerce stores are being launched online every day. In our recent podcast series ‘On The Net’ we went over some of the basic aspects of ‘Building An Online Business,’ specifically creating, launching and promoting your online site. Of course, we think its chock full of great information so be sure to give it a listen! Online business is estimated to reach a whopping figure of $27 trillion by 2020. The backbone of such companies is a transactional website. WordPress, being the most popular Content Management System worldwide, is used frequently to create and power these sites.
Host 2: 01:30 Roughly three out of ten eCommerce sites come from the WordPress ecosystem. To ensure that your WordPress eCommerce site maintains optimal performance, you need to find a great host that meets the specific needs of your online store. In this podcast episode we will go over some of the essential hosting requirements that WordPress e-commerce site owners should look out for. Needless to say, look for a host that actually supports the WordPress CMS and makes it simple to install the application with a single click. The web host should support PHP 7.2 or later, MySQL 5.0+ or later, Apache or Nginx and HTTPS. Now, to state the obvious, the most important feature of an eCommerce store is that it is always online and easily accessible. Business never comes to a halt no matter what time of day a visitor arrives on the site or which time zone they live in. To ensure the continuous and uninterrupted availability of your WordPress ecommerce site, your hosting provider has to guarantee that your store will always be available for 99.99% of the time or more.
Host 2: 02:35 High availability hosting means that any essential server maintenance has to be carried out by your host in a maximum of about 52- 56 minutes a year, this is about an average of a minute a week. Every minute your site is down, you will possibly be risking both customers and your online reputation.
