The choice of your Internet business hosting provider is a very decisive one. There are thousands of website hosting providers. Yet, only a handful of them can really help you in building a profitable online business with a traffic attracting website. That's especially true if you want to build a content based web site.
Concentrating on you and the success of your online business, let me put your attention on the following three important questions:
The Web is all about information. Yet more than 99% of all Internet business hosting providers want you to spend your money on products and services that support classical offline business methods. They offer you cheap domains and hosting in tandem with value vouchers for you to spend on web site promotion and advertising.
The Web has changed the way how businesses can make money. Being in line with how the Web ticks is to recognize that people first seek information, not products. Product purchases are an effect and come second after the web surfer has gotten all information and started trusting the person behind the website.
What counts here is what you and your online business need. Most people fall for the lures of hosting services and end up spending money rather than earning it. So the question is one of priorities. Selecting the right Internet business hosting service requires to know your needs.
The reason you want to be in business is to make a profit. As long as you are not in profit, you are not in business. So what you need is to...
All this requires some money. How much money is part of finding out the right Internet business hosting serivce.
Any website hosting provider needs your money to survive. What most of them fail to see is that they can only survive when their customers have profitable online businesses. So webhosting services should do everything to get you into profit fast and sustainably.
Yet, in well over 99% of all cases you see them focusing on the wrong things for the wrong reasons. They focus on giving you the latest technical gimmicks. Yet, it's valuable content or information that gets the traffic, not technology. Remember the top sentence above?
It's all the wrong things (MySQL databases, PHP, lots of storage and what not) for all the wrong reasons. The wrong reasons being that they only focus on their own profit and not on what you and your business really need which is...
Hosting with all the technical gimmicks can be a nice add-on. I tell you more in a minute about a fabulous low cost solution that takes care about your needs (traffic and profit) and these nice add-ons.
This set of questions should point you into the right direction. The right Internet business hosting service can answer all these questions with yes:
If I don't know anything about web sites, will I be helped to build my online business? How?
Am I getting tools for checking which topic or theme does have a good chance to attract visitors? (for an idea see website content power tools)
Do they support me in selecting the right domain name?
Sometimes, newly created pages contain broken links (links that lead nowhere). Will I be informed about it?
Do they provide a online website building tool (no HTML skills required)?
Can I use my own web site programming tool and upload my own pages?
Can I include a third party store? Do they provide an online store facility?
Can I integrate a more technical advanced (even external) functionality?
Do they help me in optimizing my pages for the search engines?
Do they support me in creating my site maps and other files for the search engines?
Do they provide search engine submission and automatic resubmission?
Do they provide search engine ranking reports? How about other relevant statistics?
Is there any autoresponder facility? Unlimited single and sequential autoresponders are best.
Is RSS Site-Blogging supported? Is it automated?
Do they provide e-zine (newsletter) publishing tools?
Do they have a list building functionality or tool?
I think you get the drift and if not, then see below.
Is to help you
Yes, all this should be made as simple as possible for you by your Internet business hosting provider.
And the only Internet business hosting solution that continues to help me getting what I need - getting the traffic that got me into profit fast and sustainably - is SiteBuildIt! (or short: SBI!).
I can not thank them enough for opening my eyes and helping me coming to grips with the Internet. If only I had known about SiteBuildIt! earlier.
