3
mistakes you can not afford
|
|
|
The first big step you'll take for your website...is
choosing a web host. The best policy is to make some
study and research and then make a right choice in
the first time itself, because if you have to move
to another hosting service, it will cost you time
and you will lose some of your valued customers due
to the downtime setting up with another host.
But, choosing a web host is not as easy as it may
seem.
There are few mistakes you should avoid by taking
a decision for a particular host. Let's check it out
what's those elementary mistakes that can cost you
a lot, especially if are about to start an on line
business.
| Free Web Space |
Dont get trapped into all those colorful and uninvited
pop ups on free web space. Avoid participating
in these fallacious services. In most cases, the
reason it's free is because the company will place
advertisements for other websites all over your
web page. This defeats the entire purpose of having
"your own" web business. Something you cant say
and show very proudly.You will certainly miss
the full ownership.
Its sure that with all the distractions and
lack of your own identity on your website will
deviate your probable clients to your competitors
(probably). You never know, your competitors
can boast of their strengths and get with the
laurels. You know what is that.
So, very precisely you should be able to attract,
keep and retain the visitors that you have paid
to receive through your own ad campaigns?
With sites, you'll give away more business than
it would cost you to get your own domain and
hosting service. Is it the ultimate solution
you are looking for?
|
| Limited Hosting |
Avoid hosting packages that will not allow you
to add order forms, statistics or multiple email
accounts to your website. These are necessary
tools for any web master who desires to open an
on line business.
It's best to choose a hosting service that offers
many options such as :
- Multiple POP Email Accounts
- Dedicated Hosting
- Secure Servers
- Web Usage Statistics
- Web Space Allocation
- URL Redirection
- Auto responders
|
These are just a few "necessary" services
to look for when choosing aweb host for your new
website.
|
| Low Cost Hosting |
Watch out for very low cost hosting packages.
They usually require something in return, which
can take away profits from your on line business.
Yes, its a fact that it does sound appealing
to sign up for free or very low cost hosting,
but count the costs before signing up...
Every time an advertisement banner is placed
on your website, it's designed to get your visitor
to click out of your website and go some place
else. Most free or low cost web hosting services
place these banners at the very top of your
web page - giving the visitor an opportunity
to click out of your site before getting to
the first words of your presentation.
One complaint that comes to mind about a free
hosting service was that the company's server
became overcrowded and the customer could not
get their website to come up 50% of the time.
When this happens, your business is closed -
and you have no control over this situation.
One final point about hosting before closing.
If you get your own domain name, and your own
hosting, your visitors will have more confidence
in your site, and will be more willing to buy
your products or services. Search for a web
host that offers fabulous service, affordable
rates, and everything you'll need for your on
line business. You'll be glad you did!
