Business Web Hosting

When it comes to web hosting services, there are a myriad of things we have to consider in order we can succeed in this realm. However, viewing web hosting as a business –which is supposed to produce the expected revenue and beyond— it is important we think about our business strategy, ROI but above all quality service –possibly the most outstanding variable in keeping our sales volume and customer satisfaction. As web hosting is an online business which requires a set of services, there are too many concerns in companies, individuals and institutions about the reliability of this service.

The following are just some recommendations about most important aspects you must have in mind, when trying to raise a web hosting online business.

• Straightforward: When you are willing to hire a web hosting company you must choose the one that is easy-to-use and all applications can be administrated very easy. In most cases you use web hosting service in providers which online applications are not so flexible or some of them are developed for expert users. I firmly believe that it is supposed that every single user can administrate their own web sites through web hosting plans that are easy-to-use, flexible and very simple.

•Reliability: Only pay for those web hosting plans you can trust. Try to investigate about them and ask to current users about how convenient is use a specific web hosting provider. Also, you can read reviews –in the web you can find several articles talking about that—where you can read pros and cons about web hosting companies.

• Benefits: When you compare a web hosting providers you maybe can have a better control of each single aspect and requirement for your business. Not only compare prices but tools that will increase your opportunity to benefit your business. In most cases, you require special assistance from an expert that makes you to decide the best solution for your company.

• Technology that suits with your needs: Web hosting is based on online technology at the service of your business. When you are evaluating web hosting solutions for you, one of the most relevant aspects is determine the kind of technology you need to have in your websites. I am completely sure you are going to work with data, and the question is, Which database will support my web hosting service? Does it have sufficient disk space for my transactions? Does it support multiple transactions? What about the band width? These and more questions you must evaluate in order you can make the best decision and make your business can have an adequate business platform.

•No hidden fees: Try to identify a web hosting company that firstly gives you a price and then make you pay more money. Avoid this kind of services that only make you get angry.

• Avoid marketing tricks: In addition, we often receive undesired publicity that instead of that, are absolutely fake. Try to avoid this kind of offers that only are looking get a benefit from you but don’t provide you the quality you need.

Sometimes you start a blog about Apple products and you can see you get your ROI in 7 months and then you start getting revenue from it up to a level where everything keep static. You must start to repeat the initial process again or maybe re-design your strategy and repeat the process.

How to Pick a Great Domain Name

Choosing the right domain name could be a challenging decision among the competitive market we currently are. Just think about your business, and the ways it can struggle or be a success just based on a domain name. There are more than a few reasons why you choose a specific domain name. Even though my domain name should have a close relation with my business, company or institution name, we must consider find a domain name that is attractive to our visitors, SEO-friendly and above all that is not taken by other person or company.

Sometimes our company has a very common name which is taken –taken by other person, institution or company— in the web but we could use some variations on the name in order we can use them. In this article I would like to make you some important recommendations about choosing a great domain name.

• Purpose of your website: Depending on your website’s reason you can make a great domain name decision. When you are going to develop a website and you are requiring a domain name for your business, unavoidably you must use your business name. But, if you are creating something that is pretty new, you can establish a good and attractive name that is catchy to your audience. Also, you must try to use domain names that are easy to remember and this domain name can be remembered like a brand.

•Right type of domain name: When you are going to choose a domain name is very important that you can choose the right domain name type. For instance, you can see some domain names specially designed for the government that only government dependencies and offices are authorized to use. But, institutions often must use .org domain names because this is the kind of domain created for that purpose. Communication companies are called to use .com, companies working with networks and technology *net, TV Shows must use .tv and so on and so forth. There is a special domain name type for each kind of business or institution. On the other hand, in buying domain there are no restrictions and the first people buy it is the owner.  In the USA, .com, .net, and .org are considered the best.

•Country domain name: Depending on the purpose of a specific domain name you should consider whether use a country domain name or not. A country domain name is the one that is based on the country you live. For instance, if I live in United Kingdom –especially in England—I can buy a domain name that is like www.mydomain.co.uk. On the other hands, if I live in Colombia my domain name could be www.mydomin.com.co. The United States also has it own known as .us and can be used if your website is only targeting only USA visitors and your business is in the United States.

• Use your creativity: Sometimes we need use our creativity in most activities of our lives. That’s why I consider is very important you can thing strategically and tries to do something that impress to your audience.

• Think of the future: When choosing a great domain name you must think in time. It is good you to know that if you are considering having a website for your business, don’t use terms related to a static situation –using the current year in your domain name—or something like that.

When you register a domain name, you may have to make a list and start searching for the best fit as many domain names will be taken. Avoid buying a domain name using slashes, as your customers will not remember those.
