Meet Your Host



The Webmaster's host

The importance of a web host provider to an Internet marketer is comparable to an offline party host to a teenager breaking into the adult world. The youthful person provides the required enthusiasm, energy and optimism whereas the host provides the party rules and admission requirements. A lot has changed since I was a teenager but many years ago when I was still ripe for parties and hanging with friends, there was a popular four-letter acronym that I heard often when being invited to a party.

B.Y.O.B (Bring Your Own Bottle) - those in my age group (50s) may remember - in many cases described to a youngster what was needed to join other young adults and enjoy a great social event. I thought about that acronym and those times back then as I started preparing to write this article because it reminded me so much of my early invitations to Internet marketing. I was enthusiastic, had a lot of energy and was very optimistic but lacked web decorum and a few Internet-specific tools. I was fortunate however, to learn very quickly the huge importance of a good web host in order to achieve a successful Internet launch. 

Most aspiring Internet marketers acquire the first tool - website/web page depending on how they decide to market - very early in the process. The second requirement is a good web host (the engine which runs the website) regardless of the marketing technique decided upon. In effect, the B.Y.O.W.N. (Bring Your Own Web Necessities) rule would have to be adhered to before any marketing can start, and depending on the chosen method of Internet marketing, there may be a need for a few more tools.

There are several different methods of marketing on the Internet, including Article Marketing, Blogs, Email Campaigns, Pay-Per-Click (PPC), Image Marketing, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), eBooks & eGuides, Web site Plug-in Scripts and several other Internet marketing techniques could be considered along the way. In this article we will deal with the less exotic methods; the methods that usually require a website / web page and the process of getting it published to the Internet. This action calls for a web host. Get your FREE download further down this page!


Hosting includes site builder

There are many web hosts to choose from and some of those include a site builder or publishing platform in their hosting packages. Many of the more popular web hosts include free set up and free site builder while others include free domain names and unlimited bandwidth. Choosing which web host to use that includes a site builder is very important to the new website owner.

Site builders can usually simplify the website building process and enable programmers to work at the artistic level instead of at the code level. This makes it easier for non-programmers to create websites themselves while allowing things to go faster and less problematic for those who are familiar with code. Globat is a web host that offers free site builders, unlimited email accounts and free set up in addition to several other freetures (no-cost enhancements).

The number of free hosting services that includes site builders or publishing platforms have increased in the last five years. For example, Blogspot has been around since August of 1999 while Wordpress came on the scene only six years ago in 2003 and several others have come into existence since then, but the point is they're free hosting services which include site builders.

While Blogspot uses the site builder to create websites which in turn allows its users to select from a number of templates and various gadgets and plugins to post custom articles; WordPress uses the wordpress engine which provides more customization for its users in addition to plenty of extensions supportive of the user's unique approach to site building. In the final analysis, it really depends on the user's preferences because there is very little difference between these two hosting services.

All hosting services are not free though, but among the ones that cost, there are some which has popular plans that comes with unlimited bandwidth and disk space to go along with many other freetures (added value) that you can find on their home page. Host Gator is one of those web hosting services

   

   
It pays to get good web hosting

There are just as many options for paid web hosting which include site builder tools as there are free hosting sites that provide site builders. One such example is IPower which offers inexpensive but quality web hosting consisting of a web builder, marketing content package and domain name along with other web-building freetures (free features) tailored to the budget-conscious site builders among us.

The choice to obtain web hosting that includes site builder tools is an excellent one, especially for those newcomers to the Internet with very tight budgets within which to operate. For those up and coming webmasters, Lunar Pages may be the web host to contact for a tour of their facility. Not only do they offer a basic package with free domain name, free set up and unlimited storage, there is also "quick site", a package which features the tools in the basic package as well as other freetures (free enhancements) that they will discuss with you at the time of contact.

For those webmasters interested in business web hosting services, Host Excellence offers a professional plan as well as an unlimited business plan both consisting of free site builders and an ample supply of other freetures (added value) that the business oriented webmasters may find perfectly suited to their web hosting needs. In addition to those web hosting plans already discussed on this page there is one other which have continued to build a solid reputation for service, pricing and design.

Think Host has a web hosting package which they have labeled "The Plan" and have combined unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth and unlimited websites to be included in that plan. There may be other unlimited provisions as well as some freetures offered by this web host provider which are worth the time one must take to explore them.

A web of hosts to greet

I've been greeted by many hosts during my youthful party going days - of course it was a different kind of host/hostess - and making decisions to get into parties was a favorite activity of mine because that meant two things; One; that there was a party taking place somewhere in the neighborhood that I could attend (most of the times the location wasn't a deterrent) and two; that I was invited (hearing about the party was a good enough invitation for me in those days)  but I always made sure that I was prepared with my B. Y. O. B.

As time passed it became B. Y. O. B. B. Party goers of the early '70s will recall. Party decisions were easy. Health, work, school, shopping, girls and other similar decisions were difficult and had to be shelved until later. Maybe not girls, they were a different kind of difficult. The point is that there are some things that you shouldn't put off 'til later even if they may seem inconvenient.

I can attest to the fact that thirty years can go by rather quickly. One great decision I made back then? Well, I'm still married to her and we are doing well. My intention was to talk about decision-making because anyone who intends to start marketing on the Internet will have to select a good web host provider sooner or later, so now is probably a good time.

The choice is a personal one unless you're going to market as a group, but that is seldom the case so my hope is that enough information have been provided here to make the decision making process a bit easier when choosing  the best web host for new website owners. Like anything else in life, there will be some web host providers who are unqualified and will therefore cost an Internet marketer a lot of money, and there are those who are superior and will therefore compliment the internet experience; so picking the right one is obviously important.

Even more important however, is preparation. The best preparation for marketing on the Internet is I. M. E. (Internet Marketing Education) - yes there is a place that does that. The best education I have received is from a superb Web community known as Wealth Creations Network. This organization is very much respected and are held in very high regard by an entire community of wealth creators, most of whom received their web education from the same source as I did.

If I haven't been thorough enough within this article to provide some semblance of direction which I believe is needed when entering a market place such as the World Wide Web, then I can only recommend that the best course a new and aspiring marketer can take to learn Internet marketing is to visit and explore the Wealth Creations Network website and learn how to create a niche as an Internet marketing pro. If the Internet is the new party, and you're reading this page, you've found it. The next likely step is to meet the host. Welcome! 

Special Acknowledgment:

This writer wishes to extend a healthy "Thank you!" to the team at Weebly - Website Creation Made Easy, as well as hearty congratulations for reaching and surpassing the plateau of 1,500,000 members and users of their free websites. I am a grateful beneficiary of those free sites. Just scroll down to the bottom of this page to learn more about Free Websites at Weebly. Thanks guys!!!

Web Hosting Terminology


It has always been my belief that in order to gain better knowledge of a subject, it is necessary to learn the terminology specific to that subject. It is even more important when surveying or reviewing products or services in a specified category, like web hosting, with the intention of purchasing. After all, how do you know when you're getting a good deal if you're unsure of what's included in the package being offered? Web hosting providers offer plans which consist of many different elements working together to provide smooth operation of the websites they host.

Getting the highest quality, best service and lowest price is not a combination that can be expected from every Web Hosting company. Then again Globat is not every Web Hosting company. It is the only one with the GX01 package!

So, with that in mind, the following web hosting terminology may be of assistance in sizing up your web hosting prospects; Compliments of Thinkhost, Inc. It was created on Jan 22, 2008 10:40 PM

Administrative Contact: The person authorized to communicate with the domain registrar/hosting service on issues relating to the domain name/web site.

Apache: A popular “brand” of Open Source Web server originally created from a set of patches written for another server operating system.

Auto Responder: Software that acknowledges receipt of an e-mail message by sending a predefined email to the sender. A sequential auto responder is one that acknowledges an email and then continues to send messages at intervals defined by the owner of the auto responder address.

Bandwidth:Usually a measurement to indicate the total amount of data processed by your site. This can include page views, downloads, email and uploads. Bandwidth is usually measured in megabytes or gigabytes.

Billing Contact: The person designated to receive invoices in relation to domain name/hosting services and responsible for ensuring payment of those invoices.

CGI BIN: A folder where common gateway interface (CGI) scripts are stored. As some scripts can create security risks, the CGI BIN is kept outside of the main documents (web page) folders. The CGI-BIN gives the webmaster greater control over access to the applications.

Data Transfer: Same as bandwidth.

Dedicated IP Address: In traditional shared hosting, each domain shares the IP address of the server that domain is stored on. A dedicated IP address is a unique set of identifying numbers for a web site.

Disk/Server/HD Space: The amount of space provided by a web host for the storage of web pages, files and email accounts. Usually measured in Megabytes or Gigabytes.

Domain Alias: A domain that points to the same website as another. For instance, you could have domain.com with domain.net as an alias to domain.com – that way, people accessing domain.net would see the same contact as those viewing domain.com.

Domain Name: A name that identifies a web site. Domain Names always have 2 or more components, separated by dots. While site names may share a common component, no two sites on the Internet may have the same primary name and tail extension.
