You can start any business from home, but these days you must get it online if you want to succeed.
I’m going to let you in on 10 BIG secrets of how to choose your website hosting and domain name that will help your business get found. Here are the 10 best reasons to set up an excellent website for your business and choose a great domain name:
1. Even if you already have a mediocre website set up & hosted somewhere else, you can transfer your site to a better Hosting company. You’re not stuck with a company that does not help you succeed. A Web Hosting company puts your website up on the world wide web so buyers can find you. You can’t do this yourself. You must have a hosting company. Choose carefully.
2. Look for a hosting company that also offers Blog & Guest book tools.
3. Only choose a company that offers 100’s of free DIY Website design templates to speed your business along.
4. You need the ability to begin your online store. Hey, if you’ve got things to sell, you need to be able to upload your products onto your website so your customers can buy them.
5. Find a hosting company that offers several plans to choose from. I use the plan where I can have unlimited websites. If you only have only one business, I would recommend a more simple plan, which is less expensive.
6. It is possible to find a great Hosting company for $9.95 per year per domain name and $19 per month for hosting. Free is not always best.
7. A good hosting company will offer you free marketing tutorial help as How to get listed in search engines; How to issue Press Releases; How to design a good-looking website that gets results; How to track your website visitor statistics.
8. Sign up for web hosting only if they offer free 24-hour live chat help from the experts.
9. Ask if your hosting company offers Google services to enhance your website.
10. Your hosting company should also offer free Email accounts with your web name. Much more professional than yourname@Yahoo or @Google, etc.
It took me hundreds of hours of research and a series of mistakes before I found a hosting company and domain name that met all my needs.
With my first company, I chose the same domain name as my company name. In hindsight, I would have changed the domain name to one that was more keyword relevant because my business would have been easier to find during web searches by potential clients. This was a costly mistake. I recommend you choose a company name that is keyword relevant and learn from my mistakes.
With my second company, I chose a more relevant name and used highly relevant keywords in the name of my company. I now have these two business hosted by the same company and the second one is free.
If your business does not have a website, you need one. If it has a website that is languishing, you need to be with a company that offers tutorials to help increase the effectiveness of your website. Start now.
Here’s to your business success!
