- Additional services from your web hosting provider
-
We all know that web hosting is a very saturated market; there are no surprises in that. How do you increase your companies profit without with out changing your main service offered? Simply add secondary services to your existing company.
The best part about most, if not all, these secondary services is that you don’t have to do much except collect more income at the end of the month. The reason is that many secondary services can be affiliate and reseller type programs that are invisible to your customers.
In this article I’ll cover some of the extra services you might have been considering adding to your business or maybe you haven’t yet and are trying to see what you can offer to increase your profits.

| Your own domain name - a must have! |

Would you buy from someone with an "@yahoo.com" e-mail address? It is understandable that you don't want your regular e-mail address in ads that your run on free ad sites to prevent spam, but lets use some common sense here. If you don't buy anything from yahoo's off line why would you buy from a yahoo online? If you're serious about your business you have to show it in your actions. The first action to take is to buy your own domain name and use it for all of your e-mails. Lets say there's a Bob Jones who starts up an online company. Will you be quicker to buy from him and trust him if his e-mail address is " This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it " or if you read an ad from " This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ?" He's the same guy, but which address makes you trust him more and believe he's a legitimate business? Even if you're not ready to put up a site (which you should be if you're marketing online), at least create a professional presentation with your e-mails. They're your main form of communication online and it's the main brand people see when you communicate. Everytime you send an e-mail you're advertising. Do you realize this? You'll never make decent money online if your e-mail address ends with "@aol.com." When you come up with a great name for your site or business get a ".com", not a ".net" or ".info" or ".tv" or ".someotherwordpeopledontthinkoffirst." If you can't get a ".com" for your name, then come up with another name. When you want to send a package overnight what company do you think of first? Probably Federal Express because they were the first company to do overnight shipping. You can use UPS or Airborne Express or some of the other smaller companies, but FedEx is the company that gets the most business because they're thought of first. You need to have a ".com" domain because that's where visitors will go first no matter how many new domain endings are created years and years from now. If you have ".net" domain name then you'll be setting yourself up to lose visitors to whoever has the ".com" domain for your name. When you hear about a cool company and want to see if they have a website do you try their name with a ".com" or with a ".net" or ".info" or ".tv" 0r ".anythingelse"? You can bet money that everyone tries the ".com" first everytime and it will always be like that because it's always going to be THE first choice. So if you haven't already, go buy a domain for your birth name and get crackin' on coming up with a great name for your business and go buy a domain for that name before it's taken. Honestly, we're talking about a $15 a year investment. If you're not willing to invest $15 into your business then you don't have a business. If you want to be taken seriously you have to have your own domain name.
