What Makes the Best Business Web Hosting?
Comments off · Posted by Sam Ford in Domain Names Registration
There is no single company who is the only good provider of business web hosting. Rather, there are many solid choices from which to choose. The most important element is to find a company that provides services that will help your business thrive, and who will do so at a price that is friendly to your company’s budget.
Which elements are most important to a high quality business website (and therefore, are most important to a high quality business web hosting provider)? Here is a list. It’s not exhaustive, but it’s a good place to start:
- Ease of discovery. You want your customers to easily find your website, so you need to buy domain name rights to a good name for this to be possible. Look for a web host who offers domain name registration services, too.
- Ease of use. A website must be well-designed and load quickly. To make sure your site is fast enough, choose a web host who offers plenty of bandwidth.
- Reliability. Your website represents your company, so it should be secure and always available. As such, you need a business web hosting company with adequate security tools, to ensure the site is never compromised at your customers’ expense.

There are many different ways to become profitable online. When you run your own company, you can find a good business web hosting provider, set up a good site, and then sell your product. But what if you want to go into UK web hosting as your primary business? A good web hosting UK company can run a successful business by providing affordable web hosting, cheap domain names, and a high level of customer service. The best web hosting companies are those that provide a good product and service, paired with quality tech support, at a price that is competitive but still profitable enough for the company to succeed as a business.
To do this, you need to first buy web hosting servers, or space on another server that will allow you to re-sell. Then, you can market business web hosting or even unlimited web hosting to your potential customers. Start small and then grow as you learn what works best for your company. The most important thing is to provide people something they want at a price that is good for both you and for them. With so many possible UK business web hosting companies out there, you’ll have plenty of competition, but if you market yourself well, success is certainly possible.

Domain Name Theft: How to Keep Yourself Safe
Comments off · Posted by Sam Ford in Domain Names Registration, domain name theft
There are two major concerns every website owner and web hosting UK customer should have about the possibility of stolen domains. First of all, you want to ensure your domain name is not stolen out from under you. Secondly, you want to make sure you do not accidentally buy a stolen domain name that actually belongs to someone else.
How can you do this? Well, let’s first look at keeping your own domain safe. Ensure that the business web hosting service you hire to buy your domain for you has your most current information associated with the domain. If you sign up with the registrar using an email you end up later cancelling or abandoning, it’s easy for someone to break into your email, request the domain password, and steal your domain name from you. Also, keep up to date with domain renewal ahead of time.
For domain names you buy, check with your business web hosting service for help on verifying the domain’s authenticity. Only buy domains from someone you know and trust (such as a reputable company). If someone appears to be less than trustworthy, they very well may be trying to sell a domain they have stolen. Be smart and thorough, though, and you should have no problem.

Blog Benefits For Home Businesses and Entrepreneurs
Comments off · Posted by Sam Ford in Blog Benefits, Domain Name
If you are starting a website for your home business, the quality and accessibility of that website are essential if it is to help you succeed. Plenty of individual websites are for more personal reasons, such as blogs or photo sites to share thoughts and memories with friends and family.
But when your website is for your business, it’s even more important that the site be the best it can be. This doesn’t mean you have to go out and spend lots and lots of money on your site, but it does mean it should embody two main attributes:
- It should contain accurate information that is helpful to site visitors and tells them what they wanted to learn from visiting your site.
- It should be easy to find.
That second point, “findability” if you will, is what we’re going to look deeper at in this particular blog post. What good is it to have a fabulous, informative, and even attractive website if no one ever finds it?
Certainly, you can include your web address (the address you choose to buy when you go through the process of domain name registration) on any local marketing efforts you do. Put it on business cards, flyers, newspaper ads, and other forms of print media.
But many people use the internet to discover businesses, and this is where many entrepreneurs miss a lot of opportunity. There are literally millions of websites out there: how will the people who are looking for a business like yours get to your specific business site with so many others to choose from?
Search engine optimization. And one of the simplest things you can do is also one of the most affordable and easiest: start a blog. When you register a UK domain name, you’ll be buying a domain that you can use as both your main site or your blog; or, you could host a blog externally and link to your website.
But having an on-site blog is especially important, because search engines prize content over almost any other factor. What does that mean for you? Well, once you choose your domain name, get your business web hosting all set up, and have your site created and published, search engines will “crawl” your site, inspecting to see what is there.
The more relevant content they find, the more valuable they determine your website to be, and therefore, the more likely they are to suggest it to searchers who are looking for the type of content found on your site.
Blogs are a cheap, easy, and effective way of increasing the amount of relevant content on your site without altering its layout and appearance.

Top 5 Reasons To Start Your Own Website
Comments off · Posted by Sam Ford in Domain Name, Domain Names Registration, Starting a Website
Whether you are a business owner or just a person who enjoys connecting with people and sharing ideas via the internet, creating your own website may be the next step for you. Choosing to buy a domain name and enlist the services of a web hosting company are simple, but how do you know that it’s time for you to start a site of your own?
With the fast advent and incredibly fast expansion of the internet, personal and company websites have completely changed the way most of us get information. We make friends, have debates, choose products, and hire services all directly from the computers we have in our homes, or even from mobile web devices on the go.
So why start your own website? Well, there are a lot more than 5 reasons, but here are the 5 that we find to be the most compelling and convincing of all:
- Connect with loved ones. A personal website gives you a lot more control over the information you share with loved ones, and can provide an outlet for more content-rich sharing with friends and family than you’ll find on cookie-cutter social networking sites.
- Call your own shots. When the whole website is yours (i.e. you bought the domain name and have your own web hosting, not just a single page on someone else’s server) you get to make creative choices as to the design and layout of your content.
- Make new friends, from anywhere. With the internet’s growth, the whole world is your neighbor. Whether you’re looking for personal or professional dialogue, a website puts you out there, so you can connect with anyone you like.
- Stay versatile. Websites can be very simple (with just a map, list of services, and contact info for your local business) or complex (with e commerce services and individual logins for visitors). When you own the site, you can choose how much space you want from your web hosting provider, and you can adjust as you go to fit your changing needs.
- Go far on a limited budget. Especially as businesses are concerned, this is one of the best aspects of having a website. The cost it takes to buy a domain name and hire good web hosting is really not very much at all. Your site makes it easy to get your information out there without spending an arm and a leg to do so. You can put the money you save back into your business, or into new advertising and marketing strategies.
With the simple and reliable services of domain name registration and web hosting, you’re off to an easy start connecting however you like, with whomever you like, through your very own website.
