- Important points in your choice of a web hosting provider
-
When it comes to choosing a Web hosting provider, one of the most important factors to consider is the level of customer service provided. While you should obviously make sure you get the features you need, and of course a great price, you also need to be assured that the company you select will partner with you for the long haul and be there whenever you have questions or concerns—be it midday or midnight. Below are some recommendations and insights on how to assess a Web host’s level of customer service and choose the right provider for your short- and long-term business needs.

1. The reliability of the service and their offers.
A brand new hosting provider which boasts features that are too good to be true usually won't last for too long. Let's take the example of one host (I won't give names here) that went offline only a few weeks ago. They were offering 500MB of storage, 10GB of bandwidth per month, domain hosting, unlimited domain parking, CPanel with just about all possible features, absolutely no ads (not even a request to link back), and this only for 150 posts in their forum. Sounds too good to be true? Betcha! After they cashed in two fat checks from AdSense they simply went offline. No prior notice, no apology, nothing. Read more... - Hiring a Custom Web Site Designer
-
Hiring someone to build or promote your website costs considerably more than building it yourself, but it can be a good way to quickly get your site online and start doing business, especially if the site you intend to build is relatively complex or you need to implement an e-commerce solution. Obviously, if you decide to hire a custom website designer, then you will want to make sure the website designer specializes in the skills you require. That means learning to ask the right kinds of questions – both of yourself and your candidates. Read more...
- Good Web Site Design Features

As a professional web design business, we have created and re-created many sites. The "great" ones have certain things in common. We thought we'd share those elements with you…
1. Easy to read. If background colors or images are used, the text on top of the background should be in a color that can easily be seen. Use a color scheme that complements and is pleasing to the eye. White space between images and sections of text make a page easier to view. Read more...

When choosing the best website hosting company, it is important to consider several things before making your choice. As they say " You never get a second chance at a first impression." This is true when we are talking about your website! Web hosting is a service that allows users to post Web pages to the Internet. A Web host, or hosting service provider (HSP), is a business that provides the technologies and services needed for Web sites to be viewed on the Web. When you choose hosting for your website consider the following things. - Price: Don’t simply look for the lowest price. Your website is your lively hood and you need reliablity that you may not get with cheap hosting. - Technical Support: Is it available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? If you have a question you need an answer. Features: Various internet hosting companies offer a variety of services. Make a list of what you know you want your website to do. Here are a few services you will want to consider. Set up fees, transfer fees, email aliases, site stats, contol panel, site creation tool, front page extensions, submit to search engines, sub domains, multiple domain discounts. - Disk Space: The amount of disk space that will be allotted to your web site is another of the key elements in a good web host package. While it might seem that 30 megabytes is plenty of room, the potential for growth of your company means that you could easily need more space later. If you choose a web hosting provider that simply can't offer more space, you might find that your growth will be severely limited. - E-mail accounts How many e-mail accounts do you need? You'll probably need one for each employee and one for each department (sales, accounts, support). Make sure you purchase a hosting plan that has enough e-mail accounts. Also, do you want full POPS access,Web-based e- mail, or both? - E-commerce Will you be selling goods or services through your site? If not, there's no need to sign up for an e-commerce web hosting service. If you are, e-commerce web hosting services such as shopping cart software, SSL support and a merchant account will be vital. - Speed: You need to know how fast your internet hosting provider can provide access to your visitors. - Uptime: This may be the most important thing when choosing the best web hosting company. You can not make money if your web site is down. It is reasonsable to expect to spend $20-$30 a month for a good hosting company. I personally use Host4Profit for my hosting needs. I have found them to be reliable, fast, offer top customer service, and reasonably priced. They have a web hosting affiliate program that allows you to make $10 a month for every person you refer to them. Refer 3 and yours is free.
