Website - Do You Need One?

2011-07-12T16:04:00.000+02:00

Website that is!It’s an old debate now, but I wanna add my 5 sense worth!

It is possible to make money through promoting affiliate programs, but you can make buckets more promoting your own products!

Apart from being able to use your own website as a portal for a variety of affiliate programs, it’s also possible to promote your own products or services.

Another advantage of having your own website is that you can use your emailing list to continually drive traffic back to your site for repeat sales (back end sales) that’s were the real profits are.

In addition to that with your own site is you can tailor make it to suit specific niche markets and create your own professional and personal identity.

The only limit on what can be achieved with your own website is your imagination.An online shop can easily be added to a site that operates 24/7 making money even while you sleep.It can be used as a business card demonstrating your products and services.

I know there are many people out there that feel it isn’t necessary to own your own site, maybe that’s true but for a long term secure financial income I personally will stick to having my own site. Properly set up, a website can be your personal 24hr service staff, for free!It can greet customers, provide information, make bookings and take orders, give solutions to customer problems instantly, and much, much, more!

Why Dedicated Hosting?

2011-07-08T16:12:00.001+02:00

If you’re reading this article, you might be interested in getting a dedicated server, or simply learning more about dedicated hosting services.

First of all, please note, that a dedicated server is rather expensive service, and you shouldn’t waste your money if you don’t plan to use it in full measure.

But if you really have a serious website, and want to run a successful business - you cannot do it without a dedicated server.

Of course it’s just mere words, so let’s enumerate the facts!

Freedom and security
Dedicated server will give you a freedom. You will not need to share it with other websites. It will also give you additional 3rd party security for your site and emails. A dedicated server will allow you deep access to your server to configure and optimize your server anyway you need.You’re able to choose the software to install.

Power and functionality
With a dedicated server you get on average 50-100 Gb of hard drive, plus about 1,000 Gb of data transfer. You may customize the configuration and choose any CPU, RAM, or whatever you need. A dedicated server reduces your dependency on the web host; and bypasses time delays and possible expenses incurred from these.

Respectability
You simply CAN NOT run a popular website on a shared hosting. It’s not serious.

Summary
If your website turned into a popular and reliable resource; if you have tons of daily visitors; if you work B2B; if you need additional security and functionality, power and freedom - go ahead and buy a dedicated server. Don’t be sorry about the money you spent! Think about the future!

Do I need a website of my own?

2011-07-02T16:04:00.000+02:00

A question I get asked often is – do I need a website of my own?
This is a GREAT question. When I started in web design business I asked
exactly the same. I had precisely ZERO knowledge of how to create a
website. The thought terrified me. I had the attitude "I can’t do that" (an
attitude incidentally that I had to change and so will you).

It would be so much easier – so I thought – to use a website that I could
get for free, and that was already set up for me. Particularly as there are
so many free websites available.

Let me be blunt here.

Your website is integral to the success of your business. YOUR website,
not somebody else’s. If you don’t spend at least a little time getting to
learn the basics (which is the point of these articles) you will be constantly nervous when working from home, as there will be a huge part of your business that you ‘don’t really understand.’ Clearly you cannot operate like this.

What happens when something goes wrong, or you want to make a very simple change to your site? Will you call up your technical person or your web buddy every time? Will you out-source all your web questions to someone else? Your website is the life blood of your business. Get used to it. If you really are serious about making money from home, you need to get over your web fear. You will accomplish that with this

Internet Web Site Designing

2010-09-30T00:30:00.001+02:00

If you have been constantly online, you'll probably have seen so many sites and have interest you already on how most sites where made almost perfect that you find it so hard to resist the charm. Internet website design speaks so loud and influencing people each time they visit the place.

Are you amazed on the flashing screens and wide collection of colors that matched and harmonized with each design? Great animations in each internet website were intended to capture the heart and imagination of the audience. The distribution of colors distinguishes the character of the website owner.

Overall, the Internet website design is in-charged with talking, selling, communicating and relaying of the information to the audience. Let's say it like these:

• The colors would represent the character
• The presentation of ideas and the manner on how the information is being relayed to the audience is the voice of the owner
• The entire look would showcase the dependability on the promises
• The animation means sophistication

You should not neglect your Internet website design because this is the footstool of your entire website development or the foundation. If Internet website design is taken for granted for the sake of just uploading a site into the Internet; then don't be surprised if this collapse soon.

Website Design

Internet website design is different from web designer but most of the times both of these words are thought to mean the same thing, there is huge difference. In short, Internet website design is in-charge with how the entire website would appear or would look like and while the web site development does the work to be connected with other search engines and to be abreast with the ever changing Internet technology.

Some Internet website design people are fascinated in using some flash animation into their websites; other designers do prefer to have a much corporate look by using formal and standard website look. In technical aspect, flash animation is usually not suggested to be used more often due to search engine spiders' incapacity to read imagery.
This sometimes is the culprit why other websites were not recognized even by the popular search engines and directories. Due to this reason, a specialized web developer should work hand in hand with the Internet website design personnel to address the problem especially if the website owner requires having more animation in their official websites.

The rise of Internet technology brought awareness to different companies on the benefits they could get from advertising their products and services online. On this, Internet website design and website development services are now becoming very popular. The competition is really tough and to be read and recognized by search engine spiders is the utmost concern of the owners.

No doubt that one of the most reliable ways where they can reach their target market is through online advertising, the expenses actually is cheaper and would not require much manpower to monitor the business because if your Internet website design and website development would meet your requirement; your business would soar high in the Internet.

Dedicated Sever vs Shared Web Hosting

2010-07-23T23:54:00.005+02:00

Let's see the different types of web hosting you can choose:
- dedicated
- managed
- shared
- virtual
- co-located
- cloud

Dedicated Hosting / Dedicated Server
You exclusively lease an entire physical web server (not shared with anyone) where you host your web site and you have total control over it. CPU and RAM resources are only yours to use and you can host multiple domains or a single web site. This is one of the most expensive types of web hosting, used by large companies, data centres or Internet professionals.

Managed Hosting
You purchase a dedicated web server for your exclusive use, but you have no access to your system files, which are reserved to the hosting company, you have no control over your web site core files and data but you don't have to worry about server management.

Co-Located Hosting
You own resources – an entire physical server and bandwidth - that you can customize at your own need, so you can do whatever you please to do but you have no support from the hosting company. You are fully responsible for your web site and server. This is the most expensive form of web hosting available.

Most known providers of dedicated / managed hosting are:
Inmotion, DedicatedNow, SingleHop, UltraHosting, Acenet, Aplus, Lunarpages, 1and1, ServerPronto, XL Host, GoDaddy, SingleHop, ThePlanet...

Shared web hosting
You share server space and resources with other web sites. Each site has on its own partition, or section (place) on the server to keep it separate from other sites. Your web site is may suffer from slowdowns and you may also have inconvenient neighbors such as gambling web sites. This is one of the cheapest types of web hosting, generally the most economical option and also the most commonly used across the web as many people share the overall cost of server maintenance...

Virtual hosting service
This is similar to shared hosting - you get your web site hosted on a virtual machine that runs inside a shared server. Each virtual machine has its own independent operating system that can be rebooted without affecting other web sites, but it uses the shared resources of the web server (CPU, RAM, etc.) This is one of the newest types of web hosting and it fills the gap between dedicated and shared hosting. You have an independent hosting space that uses resources of a machine that is not exclusively yours to neither use nor manage.
Shared / virtual web hosting prices are lower than a dedicated web server because many customers can be hosted on a single server. This is the most fitting way of hosting for 99% of web sites.

Most known providers of shared / virtual hosting are:
HostPapa, BlueHost, Yahoo!, DreamHost, Telus, GoDaddy, PowWeb, CertifiedHosting, RackSpace...

Cloud Hosting
Your web site is operating on multiple connected servers, you host it on a server cluster and you purchase only the resources and traffic your web site uses in a pay-as-you-go manner, instead of limited to a single server. This type of web hosting is one of the cheapest, but it also exposes you to security threats and your web site data is accessible to company administrators and other web site owners.

Most known providers of cloud hosting are:
Cloud.bg, RackSpace, NetDepot, ReliaCloud, VPS.net...

Free web hosting

2009-05-25T23:52:00.002+02:00

"Free website hosting plans" are a type of web hosting service where you get free web space on their hosting server to create and host your web site free. Free web page hosting has several advantages, but mainly that it costs nothing (no money and no credit cards needed).
Free web site hosting services also often have several disadvantages (though a few actually surpass some of the cheapest paid hosting servers in some features), such as limited webhosting features and forced ads. Usually in exchange for these free hosting services, the free web hosting company places advertisements on your free web pages of some sort (banners, textlinks, popups, etc.) to cover their costs, and hopefully make a profit.
However there are some free website hosts that provide free bannerless hosting (no ads, no popups, and no advert of any kind), so they make money in other ways, such as displaying ads for the webmaster to click in their control panel, sending email ads, or requiring forum posting (which of course displays ads, as well as causing you to create free website content for them).
Other free web page hosts offer very limited services (such as limited web page space, bandwidth limit, and no scripting) to attract users and hope that many people upgrade to a paid webhosting service. Many free website hosts provide a subdomain or sub-directory of their own domainname instead of (or an option to) allowing its users to host their own top-level domain name free. Most of the free webpage hosting providers over the years have proven to often not be reliable servers, but most of the free hosts listed on this web site have been in service several years, so are more reliable than most newer free hosts.

The free file uploader accepts all file types (games, songs, audios, photos, videos, compressed archive files, etc.), and hosted files are kept until the user removes them.

You are given 550 MB of bandwidth/month, but can earn more by using their referral system -- for each user you refer to Host-A, you will earn 100 MB of additional bandwidth; also if a user views your profile page or downloads a file from your free hosting account, and signs up afterwards, you are credited for that.

Free File Hosting - ADrive

2009-05-24T18:35:00.001+02:00

ADrive.com offers 50GB of free online storage and backup for all file types. Store your files with ADrive and access, manage and edit them from any computer. ADrive is a relative newcomer to the online storage game, at least compared to the other sites in this review. That shows in both the pricing and features because ADrive seems to be more current in both areas than most of the other services we reviewed. ADrive has full support for file sharing and file history. The service can even go over your file history and recover files. This is especially nice if you are frequently pulling documents off your online storage, editing them and uploading them again. ADrive provides access to the Zoho Online Document Editor so that you don’t even need to download your files to a computer hard drive to access them and edit them. This is a wonderfully useful tool, especially if you are using a public or bare-bones computer that might not have document editing software. Plus, it’s just more convenient even if you do have editing software. You can make changes right in Zoho and save; you’re done.
