Domain Name Hosting

Hosting is the next step. Just picking a domain name and
registering it is basically the easy part — depending on how you look at it…

Now you have got to have your website content hosted somewhere. But where?

If you are really technical and want to get involved in higher end hosting solutions, then you will probably need to read
some other blogs for that information. We really believe in, research and try to work from the angle that simple is
better and you don’t have to do everything hard to make a good living on the net. So from that vantage point, we will
address the two biggest hosting alternatives windows based hosting providers, and cpanel based hosting providers.

Windows based hosting providers
Now here is a real simple solution to building a web business using a simple hosting solution. By windows based hosting,
we mean the back-end panel is navigated with drag and drop, graphics, and a simple structure that makes it easy to learn.
If you are just starting out, this is not a bad place to look. Just google a search for windows based hosting solutions
and begin your selection process from there. Just to make it a little easier, you can give these guys
a try first
Netfirms.

Cpanel based hosting providers
There are lots of Cpanel hosts out there too. Cpanel is not terribly difficult, but it will take a little bit more of a
learning curve than a windows based host. It also offers more functionality too.

Your choice will largely be based on how serious you are to do well in this industry by having as many advantages as
possible and by whether you have some of the initial ground work established and can take on a short Cpanel learning
curve.

Domain Name Hosting Considerations

Customer service -
When selecting a hosting service, customer service is paramount. You will want to consider the following:
a. Hours of operation.
b. Live chat and phone chat.
c. Email service.
d. What levels of service come with the hosting plan you choose. Will they assist you or actually transfer files for you?
How much customer service will they give you by phone, email, fax, etc.?
e. Is this a shared hosting service or your own host? Besides the obvious (in that a shared server is less expensive because you are on a platform with lots of other web businesse), your own server may be best. But that is a decision you can make for yourself.

So where do you want to host? Do a little more research. Keep in mind what your needs are and if you are just starting out. If you are just starting out, then you may want to go with a shared hosting service with great customer service and many ways to acces them. After that, just use trial and error.

Don’t ever be afraid to learn in this business. Most of your domain business success will come in some of your failures. Just know it now — it’s part of the process. So don’t be discouraged, just keep going.
