Choose Your Internet Home Based Business Web Host

March 27th, 2008

Now days trying to identify a web host  for your internet home based business can be a very daunting task especially when there are so many available nowadays and all of them promise one thing or another. It is crucial that before you jump in, you do your own homework or research for selecting the most appropriate web hosting company for your internet home based business website.

Most  web hosts provide various services in addition to their basic ones,  if you are running an e-commerce internet home based business website, then of course you need high end security and  tools like a shoping cart and a way of accepting credit card payments, through which you can manage your web content efficiently.  If you are loading and storing large files like photos and videos then data transfer and disk storage will be more important to you.

There are so many different words and terminology that just trying to understand what they mean can be another daunting task, below I have written a few of the more common terms  and what they  mean, so choosing your internet home based business web host should be a much easier task.

Bandwidth (Data Transfer): The amount of data that you are allowed to transfer (usually monthly). Data = images, text, audio files, video files and everything else that a server transfers to a user’s web browser.  Web sites that get a lot of visitors (and page views) need larger amounts of data transfer (or bandwidth).

CGI: Common Gateway Interface. A program that translates data from a web server and then displays that data on a web page or in an email. CGI scripting can add numerous interactive elements to a Web site.
 
Control Panel: An online interface often used to facilitate Web site management and editing. Control panels often allow hosting customers to perform basic functions (make changes, check data, etc.) without contacting customer service.

 Disk Space (Storage Space): The storage capacity for images, HTML files, audio files, video files, graphics, etc. A Web site planning to have a large amount of pages and/or planning to use a lot of images (or other large files) will need a greater amount of disk space.
 
Email Forwarding: When email sent to different email addresses is automatically sent (forwarded) to another specified email address. For example, you could have multiple email addresses (i.e. info@domain.com, support@domain.com, webmaster@domain.com) that would all be forwarded to one address (i.e. whatever@domain.com) for easy checking and responding.

FrontPage Extensions: A set of programs and scripts that allow specific features of a Web site created with FrontPage to perform correctly.

FTP: File Transfer Protocol. The most common method for uploading files to servers. FTP allows files to be uploaded from local machines to servers, where the files can be uploaded

IP Address: Internet Protocol Address. A unique number identifying all devices connected to the Internet

 MySQL: A popular open-source relational database. UNIX hosting plans often include MySQL databases.

 Perl: A programming language that facilitates data management and processing.

PHP: A scripting language. PHP commands are embedded within the HTML of a Web page and is useful in the arena of dynamically generated pages. PHP scripting can add numerous interactive elements to a Web site.

POP: Post Office Protocol. A protocol used to retrieve e-mail from a mail server.

POP3 Email Account: POP3 email allows all emails addressed to your domain to go to one place. If a host allows multiple POP3 email boxes, you can have multiple (separate) email addresses.

Setup Fee: Initial fee charged by a host to create your hosting account.

Shopping Cart Software: Software that allows users (customers) of a Web site to add and delete items into an online “shopping cart” and then proceed to purchase the item(s). A shopping cart is an essential component for most e-commerce Web sites, as it allows users to browse for and purchase products online.
 
Storage Space (Disk Space): The storage capacity for images, HTML files, audio files, video files, graphics, etc. A Web site planning to have a large amount of pages and/or planning to use a lot of images (or other large files) will need a greater amount of storage space.

Subdomain: A subdomain is a division of a Web site, a section set apart with a different sub-domain name. For example, subdomains of Web site “domain.com” could be “support.domain.com,” “clients.domain.com,” etc.

 Web Statistics: Reports on visitors to your Web site. Statistics range from basic (how many visitors), to advanced (referring URL, search phrase, etc.).

Finally,

Some web host offer the facility of having a reseller account where you can get paid a commission by refering people to the web host, normally you can expect a commission of $10.00 a month. Such a company is Host4Profit your web hosting fees will soon pay for themselves.

Host4Profit - Does your website host pay you back?

Ideas to improve your Home Based Website rating.

March 18th, 2008

One of the ways to  start getting traffic to your internet home based business site is to improve on your web sites ratings, be improving on the actual pages on your site, so that people find your site informative and helpful – remember people go on the internet looking for information.

If you do these 6 tips, you will soon see an increase of traffic to your internet home based business site,
 
1: Website Optimisation
SEO is not pseudo-science,  First you need to see, how the search engines  see your internet home based business site, a good idea is to put your web site page into a web site analyser. Just enter this term into Google, there are loads of free services that will do this. Once you have done that, it is a good idea to print the report,  then make the changes.

SEO  is a very tangible and real way to increase website traffic, you need to take care of the basics—e.g. making sure your  internet home based business website has a relevant title, focuses on the right keywords,  and avoid practices that are frowned upon by  the search engines.

2: Start a linking campaign
Persuade visitors to link to your web site. Give them a freebie in exchange for them linking to your internet home based web site,  it could be content, software, etc. Link to sites that are relevant to your site, the more links that your site has the more popular your site will become. Think of it as  having little sign posts all over the web pointing back to your site, remember to vary your anchor text when linking back to your site.
 
 Also  Link to web sites that provide useful information or services for your visitors.

3: Add more products to your website
Not only must you keep your site fresh with new content, but you can also add new products and services, you need to continually update and modify your internet home based business webpage.
My experience has been that adding more products to the website helps me to come up in the search engines more often. Each product is like a fishing line cast in the sea. The more well-described bait you have out there—the more “fish” will bite.

 Join affiliate programs that go with the theme of your internet home based business website. You’ll just be wasting valuable space and time if your visitors aren’t interested in them.
4: Add Banner ads to your site.
 Make sure that your banner ads are part of the internet home based business page content, banner ads are also useful to break up, sections of writing, keep in mind that  banner ads should enhance a site, not distract . Don’t make your banner ads look like ads. Most people ignore banner ads. Design them to look like content and have them click to read the rest.

5: Contact your customers.
 Interact with your online customers on a regular basis. This’ll show them you care about them. You could use a chat room, forum or message system. Keep your customers informed in any changes on your internent home based business site, new products or services that you know might help them.

Give visitors a positive experience when they are at your web site. Provide them with original content and free stuff. They’ll tell all of their friends about it.
6: Boost Website by social Networking

 By adding Social widgets to your site,  both you and your visitors can add your internet home based business site to the Social networking scene which is a great way  of website promotion for marketing your information, product or service on the Internet. It’s fast, effective and extremely helpful in creating awareness on the online social networking sites where people have chosen to hear about the kind of news you have got to spread on the net.
 
 Website promotion of this type could end up in lots of other back links from the sources that could even be entirely unknown to you.
