Is Your Domain Costing You Traffic?

You visited a great website some time ago that had some fantastic information on it. It is not easily found in search engines results so you decide to type the domain name into your favorite browser. The problem is that the url spells out something like keyword-keyword-keyword-keyword-keyword.com.

Does that sound ethical to you? It maybe helpful with those search engine rankings but for many visitors that can be a pain in you know what to type out.

For years I worked in an internet café and was surprised to know that many persons can't type in a hyphen. Instead of finding out how to do it, they just move on to an alternate site hence a loss of traffic.

The average computer user can be a lazy fellow indeed. That's why there are so many keyboard shortcuts. He needs to complete his task as soon as possible.

Ever wonder why the Googles, Yahoos, Amazons and Ebays of the online world are so successful? It's because there domain name play a significant role in there branding.

There are countless persons logging on for the first time each day in search of information that can assist them in the iniation process. It is imperative that your domain name play a major part in creating a bond with your viewers.

For almost four years I marketed a free website that was hosted on Geocities. My "domain" spelt out Geocities.com/Myname which made marketing feel like running with an anchor tied to my legs. I can't even imagine the amount of traffic and credibility that I lost due to that single factor.

Does it work? It can and sometimes it won't. I believe that having a domain with too many words in it can be a turnoff just like having a Geocities site. It seems unprofessional for a company to have a name that contrasts the credibility that they are trying to create.

Some domain names are like a cargo train several comportments long. Why? Since some search engines do not give any significance to the meta keyword tag, some webmasters fill their domain with their keywords.

A good domain does not guarantee success as I found out. But a memorable and easy to spell name can be beneficial to both you and your visitors. You can have an easier time reaching them and they will have an easier time finding you with a quick type in of your domain.

I think it is best to put your keywords for each page in your file name. That way you, the search engines and your viewers all win.

Pros and Cons of Running a Web Hosting Company

Web hosting businesses are one of the fastest growing online businesses today. Many people are seeing the profit that can be made from owning one of these companies and so, many want to take advantage of it. But like starting any business, there are advantages and disadvantages to take into consideration before anything is begun. This article will outline some of the biggest pros and cons of running a web hosting business.

The massive potential that these companies offer is one of the biggest advantages. Because people use the Internet today for everything including communication, business, entertainment, and education, web hosting is sure to be around for a long time and is not something that is likely to disappear overnight.

Another advantage is that there are no limits when speaking geographically. Because the business is online, it’s possible to provide service to someone in the same town, or halfway across the country. If the business is handled properly, even the time zones should be able to be worked around quite easily. Promoting your business can be done anywhere in the world!

By being a web host service provider, the individual will be able to put their technical skills to good use. More and more people are obtaining these skills today but if they’re not put into practice, the person can often lose them. If an individual has the right training, knowledge, and background, these will provide as a good base for their web hosting business. Having these technical skills is essential. Not only will the business be virtually inoperable without them but customers also like to know that they are in very good capable hands. The combination of these skills plus having excellent people skills makes for a great combination for starting a web hosting business!

Once the business has accumulated a good number of clients, they will provide for a steady, regular income. By providing good value and great service, these clients will stay with the business for a long time to come!

Even though there are a good number of advantages, there are some challenges to running a web hosting company. One of the biggest disadvantages is that web hosting is a very competitive market. There are more and more companies emerging every day and some of these may be cheaper than what you are offering. While the quality of service may not be as good, customers are always looking for ways to get the best deal. To stay on top of this, one will need to make sure that they have a great service at a very competitive price.

Just like any other business, some money will need to be initially invested by the owner. These expenses include things such as hardware, software, infrastructure expenses, advertising, promotion, and merchant fees. For the first little bit when the company doesn’t yet have any clients, the business owner will be personally responsible for paying all of the expenses.

Another disadvantage that owners sometimes find is the amount of time needed for the business. Customers usually expect twenty-four hour support and at times this can mean fourteen to twenty hour days. Every client needs to receive proper attention so technical support will probably have to be hired eventually.

How Web Hosting Made the World Smaller?

Web hosting will allow a user to make his web page available to the world, with the help of the World Wide Web and the internet. The hosting of web pages and also other files has become so common, that it has made the world smaller. Today every individual wants a web page, whether it is for personal use or for a business organization.

The web hosting service allows us to connect to the world in an instant. Web files can be of different types, and they can be web pages or even video and audio files. The types of files that are hosted will depend on the requirements of the company as well as the individual. They will be hosted according to the services that are offered.

Has Web Hosting Helped World Trade?

The Internet and web hosting definitely made the world smaller, in terms of communication. But what about world trade, and what role did it play in that? Earlier world trade used to be a very difficult task, as people had to wait for weeks or months for communication to go through. It improved with the advent of the telephone, but unfortunately it proved to be very expensive.

Now, in 1991, no one ever thought that there would be a revolution with the World Wide Web, and the world’s communication. When web hosting stormed the world, people thought it was more as a source of information, than anything else. But slowly, everyone began using the email. It started only as personal emails, but the world saw potential for other opportunities.

As the use of the email grew, the communication between traders around the world became faster, and helped speed up the process of business transactions. Then they were all fascinated by the idea of owning web pages. If each business organization had a web page, then it would make things easier for the buyers as well as sellers.

The buyers could access this web page, and then place their requirements instantly, instead of waiting for replies that could take days. There would be no need to fear the time difference between countries either, as with the speed, nothing else seemed to matter. Through web hosting, and business organizations hosting their web pages, buyers from across the world were benefited.

While without web hosting the buyers were limited, once it grew, buyers who had never heard of such opportunities grew. With this concept, they did not have to waste time talking to people, and hunting for doors to open. All they needed was to click the mouse, and if they were accustomed to using the Internet, there would be plenty of trade opportunities.

Web hosting and the Internet have helped the trade community form communities. This did not happen in the beginning because the process was expensive. Not everyone could afford to host a web page and market their business. Over the years, web hosting evolved, and more individuals were involved in this business, and thus made it less expensive.

This allowed almost everyone to host a web page, and also connected millions of people across the world. Even under developed countries, were able to promote businesses and access the Internet because of the revolution. The trade grew of course, with buyers and sellers meeting through communities.

What also helped was the fact that several web sites were even hosted for free. They were backed by advertising. Through this, it brought millions of users to this online community. Not only was the communication instant, people were able to think of more innovative ideas with trade. They could sell and buy products they had never dreamed of selling.

What’s more, people even started trading through the Internet, without even leaving their homes. With web hosting, world trade has grown in billions of dollars.

Free Web Hosting Companies

A web hosting company supplies individuals and companies with the opportunity to store their information regarding their websites on the hosting company’s server. Other people can then access this server when they want to visit a particular website. These web hosting companies will often charge a fee for this service but there are many available that are free.

Before one decides to invest money in a web hosting company, it’s worthwhile to check out all the free services that are available. Not all free web hosting companies are the same, and they sometimes offer very different packages. Depending on if the individual wants to have many different sub-domains or a quick uptime, it’s definitely worth the while to check out many different services. Free web hosting services are not for everyone either. Sometimes, it’s takes a little bit of an investment to get what one is truly looking for.

AeroHostale is a very popular free web hosting company today. This service is offered to individuals that require web space, either for personal or individual use. AeroHostale supplies 200 megabytes of space and the consumer will be provided with FTP, browser, CGI, PHP, FrontPage Extensions, Perl and a domain or sub-domain. For those individuals that don’t need much storage space or bandwidth, this is a very good option.

XetaSpace is another very good choice when looking for a free web hosting company. However, because they only provide fifteen to fifty megabytes of space, it’s best for those that do not have a lot of storage requirements. There are no ads with XetaSpace and the consumer will be provided with upload, browser, PHP, and SSI functions.

275MB is a great free web hosting company. As it’s name suggests, they offer 275 megabytes of space. This company is great for individuals or businesses looking for a web host. There is a banner on top so if this is a downside to the particular website, this is probably not the best choice. 275MB provides the consumer with upload, FTP, browser, CGI, PHP, Perl and a domain or sub-domain.

There is also a company called Gig4Free. This is another free web hosting company, which is suitable for both individuals and businesses. Again, this site has banners so if that’s not what’s needed, another free host may be a better option. However, when the consumer creates an account with Gig4Free, they may be given anywhere from one hundred to one thousand megabytes of space. The consumer will be given upload capability, FTP, browser, CGI, PHP, SSI, FrontPage, Perl and Python.

These are just a few of the free web hosting companies that are available. It is worthwhile to do some research and read everything over carefully when choosing a free web hosting company to know what will be given for the free services. If the individual does not mind having banners and text on their website, there are generally many more companies to choose from.

Difference between Shared and Dedicated Servers

As we all know, Web hosting is a service that allows the user to place its website on the internet for the public or private viewing. Before choosing web hosting the user has to first decide the domain name and has registered it too. User has three options possible for choosing a web hosting service that a web host can offer. They are virtual private server hosting, shared web hosting and dedicated server hosting.

These are classified on the basis of the amount of control the user wants to have and degree of the responsibility that the user must share for the smooth and consistent running of their website. Now, strictly talking of Shared server hosting and dedicated server hosting.

Shared Web Hosting
As the name suggest, in shared web hosting many small users upload their website on and run them on same shared server. This is mainly opted by beginners, individuals, and small business and even by organizations. All have very little or low requirement of bandwidth and disk space. This is used when user don’t expect much traffic to flow inn.

In shared web server hosting the whole, maintenance of server and organization of server, software installation, security updates etc is managed by website host provider and they are accountable for this too. They use software like Direct Admin, Helm etc as control panels for the overall governance of the server. Most of the shared web server work for Linux OS only as it has got maximum compatible control panels in the market.

Few web host providers also provide FreeBSD or Microsoft Windows platform too. The best part of this type of service is that it is in great number and so is cheaper too. Not many web hosting service providers are able to provide full facilities of windows web hosting. It can be carried out in either of the two methods i.e. name based or IP based hosting. In name based hosting, many names can be used under single IP whereas, in IP based there is dedicated IP for each website.

Dedicated Web Hosting
As the name suggest, in dedicated web hosting each website is given dedicated web server, no other website can share this under any case. It is used when a user expects to get huge traffic. It has much greater bandwidth then the shared one so is able to handle traffic with much ease. This is also required if you need to have complex app, secure information and customized option in your website.

The dedicated server type hosting allows the user to have 100% control with 100% responsibility to run their website smooth and consistent performance of their website. Due to this reason this type of web hosting requires proper management to monitor and rectify any problem immediately. This type of hosting can be chosen by a professional who needs to have a full control, by big organizations or by the user having commercial website to upload.

Dedicated IP Web Hosting

There is a kind of web hosting available that is called dedicated IP web hosting. This is also sometimes called static web hosting. This type of hosting provides a unique IP address that is used exclusively for each individual server space or domain. An individual browsing the Internet can access this information held in any one of these servers by going onto a website with a certain domain name or IP address.

There will be differences in these web hosting accounts depending on whether the IP address is shared or unique. A unique IP address can be bought simply by placing an order with any of the multitude service providers that are available. These web hosting companies will provide a unique IP address after full payment has been made. These websites allow the customer to upload content and other files to their own personal, secure web space.

These types of web hosting accounts are ideal for larger businesses or for e-commerce websites that need to be certain that their site offers the most in security. Dedicated IP web hosting is also ideal for individuals that want to buy the unique IP addresses for a premium price. Some individuals may find that they want to go this route due to the fact that it will prevent the website from collecting spam, a problem that can often occur when using a shared website.

Another advantage to using a dedicated IP web hosting service is that it provides for greater flexibility while also allowing for more complex hosting. Two advantages of this are that they include a private SSL certificate and an anonymous FTP. An SSL certificate provides for online businesses that need to make sure that their customers will have secure transactions. The advantage of an anonymous FTP allows people to share information on the Internet. This will allow anybody who is using the Internet to go to that company’s website and access a public directory by using FTP software.

By gaining a dedicated IP web hosting account and securing a unique IP address, it allows the business owner to have full control over their website. By obtaining a dedicated IP address, it allows individuals or business owners to get the most benefit out of their website. This will result in better search engine results, which are much sought after by businesses.

Dedicated IP addresses are highly valued and are considered as prime Internet real estate. Because of this, there are sometimes high service fees associated with this kind of service. It is possible however to find a web hosting company that will offer dedicated IP addresses for a very reasonable price. If a company thinks that they will benefit the most from dedicated IP addresses, it’s very important that research be done on many different companies. Besides the differences in price that all companies are bound to have, there will also be differences that are dependant on the company’s needs and goals.
