What Services Do I Need In A Web Hosting Plan?

• Money back guarantee
• No set-up fee
• Affordable cost
• Own e-mail (example: webmaster@yoursite.com)
• Excellent Customer Support
• No ads
• Private domain registration (optional)
• Toll Free Support
• Affordable domain renewal

Some web host companies will offer you great incentives to sign up with one of their plans but once you have signed up, they may have hidden fees.

So when you compare one web host to another make sure you are actually comparing the closest web hosting packages that you can.

Domain Name

Some of the web hosting providers will include a domain name included with their packages.

This may be a good option for many people.

The downside of this is that when you have a domain name included and you are not happy with your web hosting provider, you may not be able to “keep” your domain name if you transfer to another hosting company.

The reason is that your domain is included for only the time you stay with that hosting provider.

No Advertisements

If you are purchasing hosting, you should not have any of their advertisements on your web pages.

That is usually only for the free hosting companies as this is how they make some of their money.

This chart will help you compare affordable web hosting.

Best Web Hosting Companies

With so many companies vying for your business, how do you really know which company would be what you need?

That is a difficult question since everybody has certain wants and needs for their individual websites.

Long Term

Long Term condition was not stated above in the items to think about when you are comparing web hosting services.

How long do you plan on being with this company.

Are you looking to create a website and just keep building on it or do you want to create mini sites that you will be working on.

How Long Online?

I know you are making your website to be online for a long time, make sure the web hosting company will be able to grow with you.

Do research on how long the company has been in business by reading reviews and asking on forums that you participate in.

Your hosting package will be an on-going expense so take time to really take a look when you start to compare web hosting plans.

XsitePro (US$197.00 one time fee)

Wordpress (software free)

This is free blogging software. You can create a free blog using wordpress software or buy a web hosting plan and register a domain name and install onto your domain.

Wordpress.com (free)

You can create your own blog and use wordpress.com to host it (called 3rd party hosting). Your blogs name would be nameofyourblog.wordpress.com

There are many themes you can choose from when you set up an account, but you can not use plugins (Google Adsense, SEO Pack etc) with this free hosting.

If you use wordpress.com to create a blog, you can not use any affiliate links, google adsense or any other methods to make money online.

The search engines love wordpress (free) blogs and many times will index quickly, but just as quickly if they feel you are spamming they will shut your blog down.

If you are looking to get into affiliate marketing or any of the other ways to make money online, the free wordpress. com is not for you.

Wordpress.org (needs web hosting)

This is the same software that the .com has but you need to purchase web hosting. Many of the web hosting companies now have a quick installation of blogging scripts.

If you are looking to get into affiliate marketing and don’t want to take the time to create a website, this software is very easy to use. This blog is hosted at GoDaddy and a basic package of web hosting and a domain name can be found for about $50 a year.

By using your own web hosting, you have complete control of the look of your blog. There are hundreds of plugins that you can upload to your hosting and some of the plugins available for you to use are for templates to change the look and layout of your blog, Google Adsense, Google Sitemap, make your blog search engine optimized and much more.

If you are on a tight budget, for around $50 a year you can get a domain name and web hosting to start your own online business at home.

GoDaddy

With multi level hosting plans and able to register a domain name for a very cheap price, this hosting company does have a website builder plan that can be purchased with 5, 10 or unlimited number of pages but it only includes web hosting.

Additional Charges for:

1. Your domain name

2. Getting your web site listed with the major search engines

3. Your traffic stats

4. Keyword Research Tool

They do have tutorials to help you build your website, but information is lacking on how to generate traffic to your new site and help with search engine optimization, which are the two biggest obstacles that beginners face when just starting out and have no idea how to create a website that works.

Site Build It

This product is for most people who want to build a website, but don’t have the technical knowledge or are not really into learning it.

SBI is truly an all-in-one website builder package.

When you purchase SBI, you are purchasing not just web hosting but ALL help you need to help you create your own website from help with finding a website niche idea to make sure your each page is search engine optimized.

Site Build It Price Includes:

1. Web Hosting

2. Domain name

3. Traffic Stats

4. Step by step action guide

5. Blog script

6. A forum full of uses from beginner’s to experienced to help with ANY problems you may have.

7. Keyword and Market research tool (Brainstorm It!)

GoDaddy and SBI difference in a nutshell

GoDaddy’s main purpose is web hosting and domain registration. Nothing more. They do not teach you how to build a website that is search engine optimized nor help you with generating traffic to your site.

Site Build It teaches you from start to finish all the steps you need to build a successful website with a money back guarantee if you decide their site builder is not for you.
