Blog Host Partnerships
In Session 2 we address your blog host partnership, commonly referred to as web hosting. Choosing the right company to host your website(s) or Blog(s) is a extremely important decision for a number of reasons. Here we will get into the various reasons why this decision is important, as well as give you a checklist of must haves when making your choice.What is Web Hosting & Choosing a Blog Host
A Web Hosting company is a business that houses, and maintains files for one or multiple websites. Simply put, it is the activity of providing storage space for websites. This service can be provided for free, cheaply or moderately expensive depending on a bloggers budget.
Avoid free web hosting companies
When you are starting as a blogger and/or online marketer you will want to spend as little money as possible. However, web hosting is the one area where you should not cut corners. The reason we feel so strongly about this decision is simple; your blog host will be at the center of all your online campaigns and is the first building block for search engine results. Having said that, if this foundation is subpar, you can only expect to produce subpar results starting your online business. Here are three reasons why free and/or cheap hosting will be bad for your business:
- The host will advertise other products/services on your blog
- Customer Service in most cases will be poor
- Technical Support in most cases will be poor
Given these factors you should understand that free in this regard is not free. Free web hosting will cost you dearly and should be avoided if you are serious about earning an online income.
Avoid cheap web hosting
With cheap hosting the experience will be no different than with free hosting, only that you will pay for the poor service. Although you save a little on your monthly expenses as an online marketer, the overall cost that you will pay for the poor keyword ranking, poor services and inadequate functionality will be far greater.
The following is what we help you understand in Session 2
- What constitutes quality customer service
- What constitutes quality technical support
- What is adequate hosting space
- Help you determine if hosting is compatible with site builder
- Help you understand PHP| MySQL | Data Bases
- Help you set up domain an email account
- Help you know if purchasing a domain name from your hosting provider is a good idea
If you do not understand any of the above elements, you could be doing yourself and your internet business a huge disservice.
Your Blog Host | Why Choose Wisely
To be clear we are not suggesting that you purchase the most expensive blog host service in the market place, yet foregoing any of the aforementioned assets to save a few bucks will most certainly cost you in the long and short run.
