3 Mistakes To Avoid While
Choosing Web Hosting
Choosing a web host is the first vital step you'll take
toward having your own website. Your web host will provide space on the
Internet for your site so that the whole world can view it. But, choosing a
web host is not as easy as it may seem.
There are a few mistakes to avoid while choosing your host. I'd like to
share these with you below, and explain why it's important to avoid these
mistakes at all costs - especially if you wish to start an online
business.
3 Mistakes Absolutely to Avoid in Selecting Your Web Hosting
1. Free Web Space - Remember seeing all those ads that
mention "free web space"? Please avoid participating in these services. In
most cases, the reason it's free is because the
company will place advertisements for other websites all over your web page.
This defeats the entire purpose of having
"your own" web business.
Why should you have to give your potential customers away? Shouldn't you
be able to keep the visitors that you have paid to receive through your own
ad campaigns?
With "free web space" sites, you'll give
away more business than it would cost you to get your own domain and hosting
service. It's not worth it.
2. Limited hosting - Avoid hosting packages that will not
allow you to add order forms, statistics, or multiple email accounts to your
website. These are necessary tools for any webmaster who desires to open an
online business.
It's best to choose a
hosting service that offers
many options such as:
Multiple POP Email Accounts:
Dedicated Hosting:
Secure Servers:
Web Usage Statistics:
Web Space Allocation (you can get how much web space you'll need)
URL Redirection:
Unlimited Autoresponders:
These are just a few "necessary" services to look for when choosing a web
host for your new website.
3. Low Cost Hosting - Watch out for very low cost hosting
packages (i.e. $2.50 per month). They usually require something in return,
which can take away profits from your online business.
We must admit that it does sound appealing to sign
up for free or very low cost hosting, but count the costs before
signing up...
Every time an advertisement banner is placed on your website, it's
designed to get your visitor to click out of your website and go some place
else. Most free or low cost web hosting services place these banners at the
very top of your web page - giving the visitor an opportunity to click out
of your site before getting to the first words of your presentation.
One complaint that comes to mind about a free hosting service was that
the company's server became overcrowded and the customer could not get their
website to come up 50% of the time. When this happens, your business is
closed - and you have no control over this situation.
One final point about hosting before closing. If you get your own domain
name, and your own hosting, your visitors will have more confidence in your
site, and will be more willing to buy your products or services.
Search for a web host that offers fabulous service, affordable rates, and
everything you'll need for your online business. You'll be glad you did!
How To Choose A Web Host For Your Business Website
It is important to choose a reliable efficient
and effective web host for your web business. You need to make sure
that your web host offers all the features that you would require
for your business web site.
Following is an overview of some of the most common requirements:
Disk space:
You need to know if your web host offers enough disk space. If
you plan to host a small sized website with few graphics and html
coding, 10 to 20 MB of disk space might be quite sufficient.
Bandwidth:
Bandwidth determines the amount of data transfer you are allowed
per month. This would be determined by the level of traffic that you
are expecting to attract to your website. Bandwidth of 1GB can
support more than 3000 unique visitors, which should be sufficient
for a small web business.
Pop email:
If you are running a web business, you would need pop3 email
facilities. This means that you can have an email address of your
own domain. You don't need a lot of email addresses for a small
website, but "unlimited aliases" feature allows you to have
unlimited versions of email addresses going to the same email box.
This makes it easier for you to filter your email. For example:
order@domain.com for order related emails etc.
Free or Paid:
Should you pay for your web host or choose a free one? Both have
their pros and cons. However, if you use a paid web host, you would
have full control over the content of your website with no third
party advertising. This would also create a more professional and
reliable image of your web business.
CGI, MySQL, PHP, ASP:
If you want to run interactive scripts (counters, form-to-mail,
guest books) on your website you will need a CGI-BIN in your web
hosting server. If you want your website to have a data base
(mailing list, message boards) you would need PHP and MySQL
facilities. ASP is also a data base related format that works with
Windows servers.
Support:
It is essential for a web host to give 24 hours customer
support and address any problems of the customer immediately.
You can check out the level of their support by emailing them before
you setup an account with them. They should respond within 24 hours
and answer all your questions in a satisfactory manner.
Our support replies normally within one hour!
Cost:
You can expect to pay anywhere from $10 to $30 for hosting a
small website. If you are lucky, you can find a web host who will
fulfill all your requirements at a reasonable price that suits your
budget.
Uptime:
Your web host should guarantee 99%
uptime for your website. You can determine this by contacting
some of their current customers. Some web hosts have a list of their
customers on their website. If a list is not available, you can
contact them and ask for testimonials from current customers about
their level of service.
Try to choose your web host carefully, as
having a reliable and efficient web host would help immensely in the
success of your web business.

Professional Web Authoring Software
Your
all-in-one
command center for creating and maintaining a
better website,
in
less
time
— no matter what your experience level.
Soholaunch Pro Edition is a software product that makes
it easy for people of all experience levels to create
and maintain a great website. It reins-in the hard parts
of building a website and presents them in a way that
the non-geek can understand and control.
There are a gazillion "easy website builder" tools out
there, and many do an excellent job of getting you off
the ground. But what then? What happens when you've
mastered all of those "easy as 1-2-3" features? Where do
you go from there?
Pro Edition helps you get started in minutes, then
stays with you every step of the way as you grow
your website — at your own pace — from a few basic
content pages to web blogs, event calendars, email
newsletters, member logins, online shopping, and beyond.
Do more than one thing without having to install more
than one software program.
Think of the other software products you have seen
that specialize in helping you add a certain feature to
your website. There's one that helps you sell stuff
online, one that helps you make your special events
popular with online calendars, another for creating
'members only' areas, another for visitor traffic
statistics, another for sending email newsletter
campaigns…
…Now wrap them all in one neat package and make
them work together in perfect harmony without technical
conflicts — as if they were, say, created to work
together in one package. That's what Soholaunch Pro
Edition is — a bunch of independantly-powerful website
tools designed together to work together and be easy for
everybody to use even if you've never built a website
before.
Take a look through the feature tour, and remember that
every feature you see was designed from the ground-up to
work with every other feature you see in the tour.
