Website Hosting Solutions

A lot of beginners start out with one of the free hosting solutions. Free hosting may be fine if you are simply putting up a page with photos of the new puppies for friends and relatives to view online. However, using a free hosting service is not a good idea if you are intending to run an online business. People will not take you seriously if your website address reads like: http://www.myfreewebhost.com/members/chris62

Would you be more comfortable ordering a laptop from a website at:

Additional Considerations:

1) Consider not only the image factor from the customer's point of view .. but, additionally you should know that many affiliate programs will not accept an affiliate who is using free web hosting.

Affiliate managers strive to recruit people who project a business like persona. They are interested in people who are going to make a concerted effort to promote their product.

Someone who is not willing to make the initial investment in purchasing a domain name for their business or getting web hosting does not give the impression of someone who takes their online marketing business very seriously.

2) It may be difficult to get your site listed in the search engines if you are using free web hosting. Even if the site does get listed somewhere, you will find you have very little control over any on-site and off-site optimization using free web hosting.

Without proper optimization the site will likely wind up on page 56 of the search results .. which certainly is not going to do you any good.

Take the time and spend a few dollars to register your own domain name and get web hosting from a reliable web host. It is not expensive or difficult .. and you really need to get started on the right foot.
