In this day and age, healthcare providers must have a website for their medical practice. Without a good medical website design, patients do not have a vehicle for information about you or a way to easily communicate with you via the web. Patients often use the internet to locate doctors and practices that are close to them, to see their business hours, to read doctor bios, to read up on procedures and conditions treated, make appointments, and pay their bill online. And with your website comes an ever-important need for a hosting provider. However, not any provide will do. Only reliable web hosts with a great reputation are fit to host this type of website.

Healthcare Providers Shouldn?t Manage their Own Hosting

When first seeking a website provider, doctors do not always think in terms of the hosting for that site when seeking out a company. Often-times, healthcare providers think they can host the site themselves and avoid additional fees. In some cases they do not even understand why a site needs to be hosted. In the most-simplest of terms, you have to have a phone service provider to keep you connected right? Well, the same holds true for a website. You aren?t connected to the internet unless the site is hosted.

You also have to have enough bandwidth to support traffic to your site. In addition, hosting a medical website requires security be in place. Regular server patches and maintenance are required to avoid hacking, for example. Do you want your site to allow for appointment requests that are HIPAA compliant?
