How to Choose a Good Web Hosting Plan for your Online Business?

To compete in ecommerce business, you need to have an informative and visually enticing website that is hosted on a robust server provided by a good web hosting provider. So you must make the choice of your web host carefully so that you get access to scalable web hosting solutions at affordable prices.

After having chosen the web hosting provider, the next challenge that you may face is in choosing the appropriate web hosting plan matching your business requirements. The chosen plan should be such that no functional specifications are compromised on and your online business runs successfully.

Before making your choice, you must keep some key areas in mind that you need to focus on.

1) Prices: Price is a very important aspect to be taken into consideration. If you wish to create a small website then obviously you’d not want to spend too much money. So you must be really careful while selecting a web hosting plan so that all your web requirements are met adequately without hitting your pocket hard. There are a large number of web hosting providers, which offer cheap web hosting packages but then are substandard services accordingly. Be prepared to face monetary losses if a cheap web hosting plan causes loss of your data and wastes your online effort.

2) Bandwidth: It’s an essential tenet since the fate of your website is largely dependent on bandwidth. Certain websites that entail multimedia elements need higher bandwidth, which is only provided in good web hosting plans. Striking a balance between disk space and bandwidth is quite essential and requires strategic planning when it comes to posting the data of a specific nature.

3)      Easy-to-use Control Panel: You need to see that you’re able to manage all tasks of website management through control panel, which you’re able to access remotely.  The control panel should enable you to install varied scripts easily.

4)      Number of domains to be hosted: You must be clear as to how many domains you wish to get hosted within the available plan. Many a times, other features are as per your choice but number of domains that can be hosted emerge as a constraint. So screen your plan close.

5)      Hosting Platform: As per your website requirements, you must choose the platform. If you have a website with few pages only then you can conveniently use shared platform. However if you wish to create/build a corporate website or a big website then clustered platform will address your needs adequately.

6)      Payment options: When you choose a web hosting plan, you must see if the web hosting provider supports the payment gateway using which you wish to purchase the plan. From my web experience, there are only a few web hosting providers, which support multiple payment gateways. So, you must also be considerate about this aspect.

There are some good web hosting providers such as LimeDomains, HostGator, FatCow etc., which offer good web hosting plans that I’m sure won’t create a hole in your pocket. So check out the plans!

Get Started Online: a Step by Step Guide to Starting an Internet Business

Find a product or service to promote

You can use a product of your own or you could become an affiliate marketer. If you want to be an affiliate marketer which I suggest you do, I would recommend you go to Click Bank. Click Bank is an affiliate marketplace where you can find products to sell for a commission. This means if you sell a product worth $50 at 50% commission, you will make $25. There you should pick a product that you know quite a lot about, for example, if you know a lot about horses, you should find a product about horses. Once you have chosen a product you then need to create a website. Cost: Free

How to create a website

My free eBook will tell you all you need to know about creating your first website. Cost: Free

Autoresponder

This is a must have for anyone who is wanting to make any money online. An autoresponder is a program which is used to organise lists of people who have signed up to a website like you did. Then people on the list are automatically sent emails at predetermined time intervals. If you don’t have one of these you will not make any real money. I would recommend Aweber. Cost: $19/month

Web Domain

A web domain is the web address of your site. For your site to be able to be viewed by customers you must first upload to your web domain. To purchase one of these you should pick a domain name that is easy to remember as well as being related to your product. Then go to www.godaddy.com and see if it is available. If it is you can then purchase it. Once you have done this you are almost ready to put your website up on the world wide web. Cost: $10/year

Hosting

For your website to be put up on the world wide web, you will need to get a hosting account. I would recommend www.hostgator.com. Once you join them they will send you an email with your hosting username and password. Keep this safe as you will need this to upload your website. They will also send you nameservers. These tell GoDaddy where to find the website. To enter these, you need to log back into your GoDaddy account, click the domain name and click nameserver. A new window should pop-up. Click “I host my domains with another provider.” and enter the nameservers in the first 2 slots.  Cost: $4.95-$12.95/month

Uploading your site

To upload your website you will need to download FileZilla from www.filezilla.org. FileZilla is a program used to upload your website to your hosting account. Once you have downloaded and installed this, open it and you will then have to log in. You will see 3 slots. In the first one, you need to write ftp.yourdomainname.com (replace yourdomainname.com with your web address minus the www at the front). The second and third slots are for your hosting username and password which are in the email the hosting company sent you. Once you have entered these, hit connect. If it doesn’t make sure you have entered your details right. Once you are connected find your index.html page on the left hand side of the bottom part. On the right double click the public_html folder. Then click and drag (or copy and paste) the index.html page across to the public_html folder. Your website should now be live on the world wide web. If you go to your web address, you should see the website you created. If its not there, wait about 15 minutes as it sometimes takes a little time to refresh itself. Repeat for all your other pages.

Congratulations, you now have a website which you can then earn an income from. All you need to do now is market you site to potential customers.

What if you had to invest $100 and then you’d get a return of $1410 for selling just 1 product each day for $47. Sounds easy doesn’t it? Now there is a small catch. You have to actually do it. Don’t you say “Oh this sounds easy and interesting, I’ll do it NEXT time.” Procrastination is number #1 cause for failure.

There are millions of people searching for thing each day, I’m sure you can get 30 or more each month to buy from you. So called Private Label Rights-PLR is what you should be looking for.

You need to get a PLR product in a good niche. Some people are selling already made information products with sales pages and graphics. They sell it to more people so the cost of creating the product is lower than the overall return. First, decide what you want to sell, search the internet to find out what people are looking for. Unfortunately it’s going to be very hard for you to find a PLR product for the niche that you want if it’s not one of the big niches.

For less than $100 you can get a good PLR product limited to only 100 people. Make sure the niche has the potential, this is crucial!

When you get your product, set up your sales page you got in the package. If you don’t know how, go to Google and Youtube and search for “how to set up a webpage” or something similar. The only thing you’ll have to pay for is hosting. At Hostgator.com you get good hosting for $6-7 per month.

When you have your website set up, copy and paste the buy button from PayDotCom.com. It’s a free selling system company.

How To Make Owning Free Dating Sites A Profitable Small Business

It’s not easy earning money on the internet. We’ve all seen those ads that claim we can make millions in months after purchasing “The Secrets to Internet Success” pdf that’s going for $19.99 a download. Do those sites still exist? They sure do but my advice is to stay clear of those promotions and to simply take the advice I’m about to give you to heart. Create a set of free dating sites and in less than a year, if you persevere at your work, you can safely say you are the proud owner of a small business. OK but how?

First the investment. I’m going to assume that you do have a certain amount of internet savvy within you and that you behold a solid understanding of how a business works. If this is you a small investment of $2500.00 to $3300.00 should suffice. Where did I get those numbers you may ask. I calculated them from 5 years of experience in the online dating game – and more specifically, free dating sites. After you’ve found the money or a partner who will split the initial cost with you, you will need to register at least three domain names.

Be as creative as you like while naming your free dating site domains and keep in mind that this step is quite cheap. In this stage you can burn two sticks with one flame. In order to have a website, be it a free dating site or not, you will need to a. register the domains and b. signup for web hosting. Hosting is the warehouse where you’ll be storing your free dating site files (it’s a computer setup for hosting websites). A truly reliable web hosting service is HostGator.com. Register your domain and hosting there. Sign up for the Aluminum plan because it is the cheapest and is all you will really need. So if our initial investment was rounded to $3000.00 we’re left with a whopping $2945.00. That’s more than enough to get us going. That’s $24.99 a month for hosting and $30.00 for three domain names.

Calculated for the year, 12 months of hosting will equate to $299.88 leaving us with pennies under $2675.00. Now from a business perspective $2675.00 may not seem like a lot. But is actually is considering the next step involves no money at all – and this step involves obtaining the free dating site files (which is basically a fully working free dating site template) and uploading them to your newly registered domain names. From here on in we’ll say you’ll be uploading your file to your new server.

Where are we going to get the free dating site files? At PHPIzabi.com. PHPIzabi is a completely free and OpenSource free dating site template; fully functional and ready for you to download and upload to your server. After uploading the file to your server (your domain), installing the PHPIzabi free dating site software and customizing your free dating sites according to the the instructions provided in the download, you will have an out-of-the-box and fully functional free dating site. One that is ready to take on new members right away. So there you have it? Not! We still have $2675.00 and for a website to be considered a real small business, we’re going to have to have customers or members. How can we get customers just in time to make a profit? And if the free dating site is free how are we going to make that profit? It’s easy if you simply follow the next step which involves advertising your free dating site services and selling ad space on your free dating site itself.

Advertise
Sign up for a Google Adwords account. After following the instructions and help files on Adwords advertising your ad will be displayed in Google’s search results for your keywords. This means, whenever someone does a search for your services, your ad will be displayed and they will possibly click on your ad. If they do, you just might get a new member.

Selling Ad Space
You need a quick and easy way to get people to buy ad space on your site and the way to get this step going within a day is by registering an account at Google Adsense. After following the instructions and help files there, you will simply be copying and pasting a simple snippet of JavaScript into your free dating site code anywhere you want an ad to appear. From here on in, if one of your members or visitors clicks on any one of the ads on your site you’ll be getting paid for it. By the way, those ads on your site are owned by people who are using the Adwords account that you had previously signed up for.

Now put the two together. You spend the remaining $2675.00 advertising your free dating site in Google’s search result by using Adwords. Visitors click on your ad and are taken to one of your free dating sites. They browse around, create profiles and eventually click on your ads. You get paid. The trick to every small business, whether is be owning a cluster of free dating sites or submarine shop is making a profit. If you take your time to learn each step in more detail within 3 years you should be making that profit and can proudly declare you’re the proud owner of a small business.

How To Make The Most Of Your Internet Marketing Business With These 4 Easy Tips

If you are wanting to start a successful internet marketing business or you already have one of your own, the following 4 steps will help assure your success. When I say’assure your success’ I mean I would like you to come right out the gate full bore and do not let up, so from the start I want your ROI ( return on investment ) to be as moneymaking as possible.

Step one – Finding your niche. Take your time while picking your niche and look for something that is going to be profitable. The niche you pick should have a good hungry market, there is not any point picking a niche that there’s no market for. When doing your research for your niche you may need to visit Amazon.com and checkout the best seller list. This should give you a smart idea to what is selling and a hot market to get into. You might also want to visit Google trends, you can use this and pick a good trend that you believe will last for a little while. Two of the most profitable markets online are the health and earn money niche, but these are also the most competitive. If you are just starting out you may wish to keep away from these niches and go with something with less competition.

Step two – promoting a profitable Product. Ok now you got a market or niche picked out for yourself, you are then going to require a product to market. When searching for a product to push I typically head to Google’s search and type in my keyword or niche and then affiliate marketing programs. What this may do is bring up all the affiliate programs that are related to that niche and you can signup with them. When picking an offer to push make sure the commission is worth spending the time, why promote a low ticket item when you can promote the high-ticket item with an identical quantity of effort? Do not sell your self short, this is your business we are talking about.

step 3 – Get A Hosting Account and a web site name. Now you have a robust niche and a profitable product you are going to need to have a pro website. For that you need two things a website domain name and a hosting account. You can get a domain name for $10 for the year and hosting account for $9.95 a month that permits you to have unlimited websites and unlimited bandwith. The host company I use is hostgator.com and for domain names I use Godaddy.com. At first it could appear like a big tribulation to line up a website but after some it’ll become second nature.

Step four – Get An autoresponder. This next thing you want is the topping on the cake. You need to get an autoresponder for yourself, this is so you can commence building a list for your different markets. Two good autoresponders out there are Getresponse.com and Aweber.com this will run you about $20 a month for one these services. I am sure you’ve heard the term’the money is in the list’. Well that term is 100% true, the money is in the list and it’s essential that you begin to build one for yourself. You can e-mail your list a newsletter, tips and info to help them. You want to build a good relationship with your list so when you send them an offer or you endorse something to them, they will buy from and continue to buy from you.

Well these are the four steps you will want to follow to have a successful internet marketing business, but there is another part to this formula and that is traffic. With out traffic to your internet site or your offers you’ll never make a penny on the internet.

Importance of Domains & Hosting in Online Business

For creating and building your website, you require a domain name and a web hosting plan. Usually, you are supposed to pay for a domain once a year and every month for web hosting plan unless it’s a free website. The major disadvantage with a free website is that the owner integrates a number of ads on your free website and earns good money online.

Domain and web hosting business has received a tremendous boost in the recent years owing to a remarkable upsurge witnessed in the number of users wishing to have their respective online identities.

In the process of creating your website, the first task that you do is purchase a good domain name. However, the registrar that you purchase your domain from must be reliable and the one that has a history of delivering quality-backed services. It’s a must! This is the prime reason why domain business is really flourishing on the Web.

There are a large number of domain resellers in the market, which make a good amount of money by selling domains to netizens from all around the globe. Most domain websites have a well-structured FAQs section, in which you find a clear & detailed description of their services.

Another significant aspect is web hosting. The domain name that you’ve purchased needs to be hosted on the server of a web host. Before you start considering which one provider to go with from the gazillions of web hosting providers available on the Internet, your business requirements must be clearly etched in your mind. Once you’ve all the requirements defined, it becomes very easy to take this important business decision. Do remember to find out about the frequency of outages of the shortlisted web hosting providers. This is a critical aspect that needs to be paid attention to as this determines the accessibility of your website.

Broadly speaking, there are two types of web hosting—shared & dedicated web hosting. In shared hosting, you share the server for your website. While in dedicated web hosting, you’re supposed to purchase the whole server and you have full autonomy over it.

Now that you’ve understood the importance of domain name & web hosting, you’d wish to choose the best one for your online requirements. With my extensive web experience of years, I recommend LimeDomains, FatCow, HostGator etc.
