So you think you want to start up a website.  Prior posts from me were about domain name choice and website creation.  Which brings the subject of hosting into play:  Early on in your decision making process, you will want to shop for a hosting plan.

Once you have created the pages for your website, now you want to publish it to the internet.  To have your website seen on the internet you will need to choose a hosting plan.  By purchasing a domain name you have branded, or named your website.  You own the name, but now you must pay rent to someone to actually get your website online.  With a hosting plan you will be paying a service provider to publish your website on the internet for all to see.  Let’s go over some of the key important factors to consider when choosing a hosting plan:

SERVICE  The number one thing to look for in a hosting plan is service.  It does not matter that a multitude of features are offered or if the price is low if the service you will be getting with your hosting plan is sub par or even worse, nonexistent.  Once your website is live on the internet you will want it to be up all the time.  Therefore should a problem occur it is important to select a hosting provider that is readily available and will resolve the issue in as timely a manner as possible.

UPTIME  When shopping for a hosting company, find out if they have an uptime guarantee. Many guarantee 99% uptime for their servers.  Even at 99% average uptime it can mean that your website will be off the internet for over 7 hours per month. If at all possible, choose a host guaranteeing up to 99.9% uptime.

SIZE  How large is your site?  The amount of disk space all of your website’s pages takes up will determine the size of the hosting plan you will need.  Most websites do not require much space but if you’re planning on having a large site with a lot of multimedia content or an ecommerce site selling multiple items, you’ll probably need additional disk space on your hosting plan.

LINUX OR WINDOWS  This question refers to the operating systems available for hosting and which one to choose.  BTW it does not matter what operating system you are using on your personal computer.  The determining factor here is what programming language was used to design the website.  For example, if CGI or PHP programming language was used, the best choice for the hosting operating system would be Linux.  For a website designed with ASP, the best choice would be Windows.  For the novice user who is building a simple html website the above may not be a consideration at first, but may become important later on as you become more experienced and add more features to your website.

TRAFFIC  Will you be expecting lots of visitors to your website?  Most hosting providers sell their hosting plans on a sliding scale according to bandwith usage.  The more visitors or traffic you expect on your site, the higher the bandwidth you will need, and the more the plan will cost.  The best advice here is to start off with a low cost, low bandwidth plan and upgrade it later as the traffic to your website grows.

SHARED OR DEDICATED HOSTING  Whether or not to choose shared hosting over dedicated hosting comes down to the following:  First a brief description of shared hosting, which is sharing space on a server with dozens or perhaps hundreds of other websites.  The main factor here is that you will have no control over the operating system, database structure, etc., and will have to work within the structure setup by the hosting provider.  Dedicated or virtual dedicated hosting is different in the sense that you will have full control over the environment that your website resides in, and you will have the only access to that space.  Dedicated server hosting gives you full control over setup of the operating system and auxilliary programs such as database management or shopping cart or database management software.  This type of hosting is definitely geared to the more advanced user, and usually you won’t be able to get as much customer support because it will be a custom setup.  The bottom line:  start off with shared hosting if you are a beginner, until you are advanced enough to progress to your own controlled dedicated hosting environment.

At StartYourWebsiteToday.com I offer 99.9% guaranteed uptime and offer customer service 24/7.  We also have a selection of shared, dedicated, and virtual dedicated hosting plans to suit all budgets and sizes and types of websites. To review the options we offer, click HERE: Hosting plans.

Selecting a hosting plan is a critical step when you want to start up a website.  Prior posts from me were about domain name choice and website creation.  Next we will discuss hosting:  One of the critical decisions you will have to make is what type of hosting plan to use and what hosting provider to choose.

Once you have created the pages for your website, now you want to publish it to the internet.  In order to do so, you will need a hosting plan.  By purchasing a domain name you have branded, or named your website.  You own the name, but now you must pay rent to someone to actually get your website online.  With a hosting plan you will be paying a service provider to publish your website on the internet for all to see.  This article covers what to look for in a hosting plan.

SERVICE  The most important consideration is the level of service provided.  It does not matter that a multitude of features are offered or if the price is low if the service you will be getting with your hosting plan is sub par or even worse, nonexistent.  If your website is not available on the internet you are losing opportunities to connect with customers.  Strategically the best thing you can do for your website upfront is to choose a hosting company that is reliable in terms of customer service as well as “uptime”.

UPTIME  When shopping for a hosting company, find out if they have an uptime guarantee. Many guarantee 99% uptime for their servers.  That sounds great, but it does mean that your site could go down for 1% of the time, which means over 7 hours out of each month! The best hosting providers will have a track record of up to 99.9% uptime, which essentially guarantees you that downtime is negligible or even non-existent.

SIZE  What size, or how many pages will the website have?  The amount of disk space all of your website’s pages takes up will determine the size of the hosting plan you will need.  If your website will be media rich with videos or music or photo files, or a large e-commerce site with a lot of catalogue pages, you will have to take space into consideration as a criteria for choosing the right hosting plan.

LINUX OR WINDOWS  This question refers to the operating systems available for hosting and which one to choose.  This question has no relevance to the brand of operating system you are using on your computer.  What programming language was used in the Web site design?  For example, if you designed a website using ASP or ASP.NET, you’ll need to find a Windows hosting plan. If you have a Web site that uses CGI or PHP, you’ll need to get a Linux hosting plan.  For the novice user who is building a simple html website the above may not be a consideration at first, but may become important later on as you become more experienced and add more features to your website.

TRAFFIC  Will you be expecting lots of visitors to your website?  Hosting plans are usually sold at different level plans according to the bandwith that will be required.  Bandwidth = Traffic.  The more visitors or traffic you expect on your site, the higher the bandwidth you will need, and the more the plan will cost.  The best advice here is to start off with a low cost, low bandwidth plan and upgrade it later as the traffic to your website grows.

SHARED OR DEDICATED HOSTING  The question of shared vs. dedicated hosting is really answered in a very simple way:  First a brief description of shared hosting, which is sharing space on a server with dozens or perhaps hundreds of other websites.  The main factor here is that you will have no control over the operating system, database structure, etc., and will have to work within the structure setup by the hosting provider.  Using dedicated (or virtual dedicated) hosting means that you have full control over the server your website is stored on and that only your data occupies the space on that server.  In other words, you would determine what operating system to use, what type database management software, what type of blog software, what type shopping cart, etc., etc.  This type of hosting is definitely geared to the more advanced user, and usually you won’t be able to get as much customer support because it will be a custom setup.  The bottom line:  start off with shared hosting if you are a beginner, until you are advanced enough to progress to your own controlled dedicated hosting environment.

At StartYourWebsiteToday.com our uptime guarantee is 99.9% and we offer 24/7 customer service.  The hosting plans that are offered include a variety: shared hosting, virtual dedicated hosting, and dedicated hosting plans with either Linux or Windows operating systems for every need and budget ranging from the small personal website to large online multimedia sites to those interested in ecommerce website building. To review the options we offer, click HERE: Hosting plans.

So you think you want to start up a website.  In prior posts I discussed choosing a domain name and creation of web pages.  Now let’s talk a little about hosting:  Choosing a hosting plan is a primary step in launching your fledgling web presence.

The next step after creating your website is to make it live on the internet, or publish it.  In order to do so, you will need a hosting plan.  By purchasing a domain name you have branded, or named your website.  You own the name, but now you must pay rent to someone to actually get your website online.  In it’s simplest terms a hosting plan is paying a company to broadcast your website onto the internet.  The key considerations for choosing a good hosting plan will be discussed here.

SERVICE  The number one thing to look for in a hosting plan is service.  Bells and whistles and fancy features will do you no good if you can’t get customer service in a timely fashion.  Once your website is live on the internet you will want it to be up all the time.  Strategically the best thing you can do for your website upfront is to choose a hosting company that is reliable in terms of customer service as well as “uptime”.

UPTIME  Does the hosting provider you are considering offer an “uptime guarantee? Many guarantee 99% uptime for their servers.  Even at 99% average uptime it can mean that your website will be off the internet for over 7 hours per month. If at all possible, choose a host guaranteeing up to 99.9% uptime.

SIZE  What size, or how many pages will the website have?  Most hosting providers set the pricing on their hosting plans according to the space taken up on their servers by the website.  Most websites do not require much space but if you’re planning on having a large site with a lot of multimedia content or an ecommerce site selling multiple items, you’ll probably need additional disk space on your hosting plan.

LINUX OR WINDOWS  This question refers to the operating systems available for hosting and which one to choose.  This question has no relevance to the brand of operating system you are using on your computer.  What programming language was used in the Web site design?  For example, if you designed a website using ASP or ASP.NET, you’ll need to find a Windows hosting plan. If you have a Web site that uses CGI or PHP, you’ll need to get a Linux hosting plan.  Note that if you are simply publishing a basic html website, the choice of hosting Operating system won’t really matter as much until you get into more advanced languages such as PHP or ASP.

TRAFFIC  How much traffic or how many visitors do you expect monthly?  Most hosting providers sell their hosting plans on a sliding scale according to bandwith usage.  The more visitors or traffic you expect on your site, the higher the bandwidth you will need, and the more the plan will cost.  The best advice here is to start off with a low cost, low bandwidth plan and upgrade it later as the traffic to your website grows.

SHARED OR DEDICATED HOSTING  Whether or not to choose shared hosting over dedicated hosting comes down to the following:  A shared hosting plan is exactly as it sounds, and means that your website will be stored on a server along with lots of other websites.  In this hosting format you generally have no ability to make changes to the resident software on the system, meaning you cannot change or upgrade the operating system, or the database management system, etc.  You will have to work within the software structure provided by the hosting company.  Dedicated or virtual dedicated hosting is different in the sense that you will have full control over the environment that your website resides in, and you will have the only access to that space.  In other words, you would determine what operating system to use, what type database management software, what type of blog software, what type shopping cart, etc., etc.  This type of hosting is definitely geared to the more advanced user, and usually you won’t be able to get as much customer support because it will be a custom setup.  The bottom line:  start off with shared hosting if you are a beginner, until you are advanced enough to progress to your own controlled dedicated hosting environment.

Hosting plan choice is a major step when you choose to start up a website.  In prior posts I discussed choosing a domain name and creation of web pages.  Which brings the subject of hosting into play:  Early on in your decision making process, you will want to shop for a hosting plan.

Once your website has been created, it is time to make it go live on the internet.  Publishing to the internet involves getting a hosting plan.  A hosting plan is different from a domain name.  You own your domain name but you rent a hosting plan.  In it’s simplest terms a hosting plan is paying a company to broadcast your website onto the internet.  Let’s go over some of the key important factors to consider when choosing a hosting plan:

SERVICE  The most important consideration is the level of service provided.  Bells and whistles and fancy features will do you no good if you can’t get customer service in a timely fashion.  If your website is not available on the internet you are losing opportunities to connect with customers.  Strategically the best thing you can do for your website upfront is to choose a hosting company that is reliable in terms of customer service as well as “uptime”.

UPTIME  What is the hosting company’s “uptime guarantee”? The better hosting providers will offer up to 99% uptime.  Even at 99% average uptime it can mean that your website will be off the internet for over 7 hours per month. If at all possible, choose a host guaranteeing up to 99.9% uptime.

SIZE  How large is your site?  Most hosting providers set the pricing on their hosting plans according to the space taken up on their servers by the website.  Most websites do not require much space but if you’re planning on having a large site with a lot of multimedia content or an ecommerce site selling multiple items, you’ll probably need additional disk space on your hosting plan.

It’s all made possible through blogging.

I found that a lot of internet marketers, their biggest problem is they don’t do stuff-anything–frequently enough.  Biggest problem is people will do something once, do something twice, not get immediate results and give up.  They move on to something else, before they get any traction- that is absolutely the worst possible thing with blogs.  You need to be posting roughly once a day when you’re getting started. This is not even so much for the search engines benefit, but for yours.

You can change your life by blogging. With blogging, you can share your own experiences and provide great content for other people. And while doing this, you can pull in great money that can literally change your life.

If you can compose and send an e-mail, you can make money at home online as a blogger!  Like all dreams and goals, the most important first step is getting rid of the doubt that you can do this. Believe that success has happened to others and can happen to you.

An example of this is by creating a blog. Google owns a website called Blogger.com, which is a way for people with no technical skills to quickly start their own blog. In minutes you could have your very own site for free and publish anything you like for the world to see. Simply pick an interest of yours, write on your blog daily, and use the option to include Google AdSense ads on your site.

Really, you want to be interacting with people in your niche on a daily basis. If you do that, you can really set yourself apart…and set yourself up for success…just by developing that one simple habit! Frequency is the key on how to make money online! It just makes a huge, huge difference.

Ways to Make Money From Home – Does Bum Marketing Work?

Affiliate programs are available for just about any product you can imagine. Basically, you sign up with a company’s affiliate marketing program. Then you place their ad on your website or blog. If someone makes a purchase when they visit the site using your affiliate link, you will receive a small percentage of that sale. Over the years affiliate marketing programs have been an easy way for many people to make money online.

When you first start out with bum marketing, you really are on the wrong end of the affiliate, merchant relationship. You do all the footwork and advertising to sell someone else’s product and get a good chunk of the profits.

That is cool and all but you have to keep writing articles, building Squidoo lenses, build back links and such to drive traffic to the merchant’s sales page. The merchant on the other hand, has done the original work of creating the product and does nothing more but cheer on their affiliates.

It is a good relationship, don’t get me wrong. Where else can you start a business with zero out of pocket expense and make money that is pretty much free and clear of any overhead?.

Choose an affiliate program from a company that is well established and creditable. People are more likely to buy a product from a name they know and trust. They want to know they will receive what they paid for and are able to return it if it’s not what they want.

While anyone can easily make money online, the choices you make can play a huge part in your income. Thinking each choice through, can save you a lot of time and earn you a lot more money!.

Make Money From Home With Affiliate Programs

Sifting through what works and what doesn’t work when it comes to affiliate marketing is easy. Unfortunately, we tend to become overwhelmed with the amount of information that exists. I had made up my mind a while ago to make a little extra money online. I began following the affiliate marketing gurus and yes, I have made a ton of money.

Naturally you can’t just dive in and earn giant cash without knowing anything about the markets! You want to have a certain level of knowledge when you get going so that you can make the best of your money. As we all know, purchasing shares at a low price and unloading when the cost is high is the way to make cash in the stock market. Of course, the question is – how can a trader know when to buy and sell?.

You can be a writer, you can host a blog and earn advertising revenue, and you could even apply for remote computer programming jobs, provided that you have the right training beforehand. What you do to make money online is completely up to you. I’m just trying to let you know that you need to be careful where you look for opportunities, because you don’t want to get taken advantage of.

Try not to spend time on stocks with minimal price movement. With day trading day trading, cash is gained by purchasing and dealing stocks that are subject to frequent price movements. In day trading you are dealing shares each day which means you must be invested in stocks that have daily price variations.

Don’t forget! I become loyal to a product and market the heck out of it when I see financial results. This has invariable occurred after I have purchase a product and screen the sales page. It must make sense and have no by-pass areas to remove the affiliate marketer from his rightful cut. If there is a phone number on the site, you need to avoid the product. They will skip the middle man whenever possible.

Search for ways to make money online with a careful eye, and you’ll be much more successful in the end. I can’t tell you how to live your life or run your career, but I just want you to enjoy the success of making money online without having to go through the bad parts.

So You Want to Make Money From Home With Online Video

More and more people grab the opportunity of making money and earning income through online work opportunities and jobs. In fact, there are several types of money making jobs you can choose from online.

Getting content for a video site is not usually very difficult. There are many video distribution sites on the web from which you can get videos to post on your site and most of them are free. YouTube, Metacafe, DailyMotion and Liveleak come to mind. The other alternative, of course, is to create all or part of your content yourself. To make money you must have at least one and preferably several income streams. Consider AdSense, Amazon and affiliate marketing as ways to monetize your site. You can also sell ad space on your site to other marketers but what you can get for space on your page would depend on the traffic you can drive to your pages. More on that later.

Now that you have a domain, content and ways to monetize, it is time to build your site. You do not have to be a programmer to build a site. Many free templates for websites can be found on the net. You will still need an html editor to customize the site to your liking. You may use something like Adobe Dreamweaver which, though somewhat costly is a favorite among website builders or a free editor such as NVU to build your site in “wysiwyg” fashion.

In fact, if you are really serious about it, you don’t need to be hired by any company. You can start your own business online and make money for yourself.

Become a bigger player in one market rather than a prawn in many smaller markets where you will never get to the stage of offering any real competition. Dominating competition comes from competing within that area all the time.

Once you are able to realize the advantages of making money online, you wouldn’t necessarily have to leave the comfort of your own home and can immediately earn as much money as you could ever imagine and think of. That much effort isn’t necessary as well because you can definitely earn without even having to exert that much effort.
