Selecting Quality Web Hosting

"The page cannot be displayed" Have you ever encountered this message while surfing the net? Of course you have. We all have. Think it can't happen to you? Think again. If you're hosting your business on one of the free hosting services, you're literally placing your entire business in the hands of a complete stranger.

Free hosting services don't need to
have a reason to shut your site down. You may get up one morning, try to access your site and instead of your
site loading, this message will appear, "The page cannot be displayed" There
goes all of your hard work, your web
site, your traffic, your search engine
positioning, your customers, all gone.

Free hosting services aren't interested
in your business or how hard you've
worked to design your web site and
create a steady stream of traffic.
Their main concern is their business.
That's why they're doing it. They display
banner ads on every site they host. Pop
up ads are not only irritating, but they
make your site appear to be
unprofessional.
In addition, many Search Engines will
not allow free host URLs to be listed.

If you're serious about your business
and you have a sincere desire to
succeed, having your own domain name
is a must. It's not a luxury; it's a
necessity. Businesses using the free
services are not taken seriously. Having
your own domain name is just as
important if not more important than a
professional looking web site. They go
hand-in-hand.

Selecting Your Web Page Host

When selecting a professional web host your first consideration should be the company. Check out their background. Talk to some of their customers and ask them if they've been satisfied with their service.
How many customers do they serve?
What is their uptime percentage?
Do they require you to make payments
in advance?
Do they charge set up fees?
How is their customer support?
Do they offer fast connections?
Do they offer shopping cart software
to process your orders?
Can you upgrade free of charge?
Web hosting prices vary greatly. When selecting your host, make sure you're getting exactly what you're paying for. Keep in mind, a lower monthly rate will not benefit you if your site is down a lot, slow, or customer service is poor.

Criteria for selecting web hosting

Selecting a professional web host is a very important decision. Make sure you do your homework and ensure the host you select offers exactly what you need.

1.Your own domain name (www.yourname.com)
2. Your own True POP email account name@yourdomain.com
3. Fast, low overhead, Multi-T3 access
4. Your own unrestricted cgi-bin
5. Access to SSL Encryption for secure transactions
6. Java, C, C++, Tcl support
7. Unlimited Autoresponders
8. htaccess Password Protection for your files or directories
9. At least 5 GB of Bandwidth
10. Design (and upload to) your site
using HTML editing software
11. Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions for those utilizing FrontPage
12. Unlimited free access to your server
via Telnet/FTP
13. Complete daily server backup
14. Easy access to your log files

Statistics on visits to your site
Free web hosts are great for hosting
a personal web site, but not
recommended for a business site. If
you're really serious about your
business and want to establish your
Internet presence, we highly
recommend our plans. They provide
you with exactly what you need to
develop a profitable Internet business
at a very reasonable price.

Soholaunch Pro Edion - Website Builder

Quickstart Wizard - This is what you'll see the first time you log-in to Soholaunch

Have you ever noticed that it's easier to edit and refine something that already exists than to create something entirely from scratch? Well, this is the idea behind the Quickstart Wizard — it gives you a foundation to work from. In just a few clicks, you'll have a website. This way, you start out with "OK, I have a website. What do I want to change about it?" instead of "Ok, I have a blank white screen...What do I do now?"

If you’ve never used Soholaunch Pro Edition before, and especially if you’ve never built a website at all before, this is a wonderfully fast and natural way to get into the swing of things.

Choose a title for your website (will typically display across the top of your site in large text). You can always change this later via the Template Manager.
Enter a primary contact email address
As an example of where this is used: If you choose to create a "Contact Us" page in Step 2 of the QuickStart Wizard, a standard contact form will be placed on that page and set to send data collected when a visitor submits the form to the email address you specify here.

Step 4: Finished! Start by viewing your website to see what you've already built, then use the various feature modules to edit your content and add other elements like online shopping, etc.

You will be able to rename and/or delete any or all of the pages created by the QuickStart Wizard, and you can add new pages at any time. All pre-formatted content is completely editable (and delete-able) via the Page Editor, just as if you'd typed it all in yourself. You will have full control (via the Auto Menu System) over the navigation menu created by the QuickStart Wizard.

All P.C.S. accounts include the base version of Soholaunch Pro Edion free of charge. You also get a 15-day free trial of the full version. This means that after you install Soholaunch on your website (see above for instructions), you can try the full version free for 15-days. After that, the advanced features like the Shopping Cart, Member Logins, etc. will be disabled, but you can keep using the basic features forever for free. If you want to enable those advanced features again, you can do so instantly by purchasing a license from Soholaunch.com. Anything you built using advanced features during your 15-day free trial will be untouched and waiting for you after you upgrade.
