What makes this Domain Name so valuable? This name brings your website great
marketing success at comparative low-cost. Why use a
stupid, made-up, nonsensical, misspelled, twisted, odd
or non-real wordage domain and site when you may easily
possess a unique but real generic true-name? This name
contains real keywords typed-in by surfers into their
browsers and search engines, thus assuring the site
of visitors by virtue of the Real-Name, regardless of
its search engine rank or costly advertising and marketing
plans and expenditures!

- Whether you already have a website or are thinking of setting up shop
online, sooner or later you'll have to deal with the issue of web hosting.
Although it may seem like a "no brainer," there are actually many
factors you'll need to consider before making this important decision.
- Your first inclination may be to look only at the cost, thinking
"cheaper is better." However, that old saying "you get what you
pay for,"is especially true in this situation. Here are some of the more
important points you'll want to look at when considering your next host.
- UNIX/NT: The two most popular hosting platforms to choose from are UNIX and
NT. UNIX is by far the favorite, as it was the only choice way back in the
early days of the Internet. It is easy to configure, great for setting your own
file permissions and the platform for most of the free cgi scripts available
for download. It is flexible, reliable and supports scripting languages like
Perl and PHP3.
- Windows NT is Microsoft's baby. One problem that I have found with NT
servers is a lack of readily available scripts that work on this platform.
Also, (unlike UNIX) many NT users need assistance from their Web Host
Administrators to set file permissions. NT supports MS applications such as
ASP, Access, FP and scripting languages such as Perl, Cold Fusion and ASP.
- TECH SUPPORT: When you need help you'll want to make sure you can get it.
Some web hosts offer phone support or even live chat. Make sure they have good
tech support in place as there's nothing more annoying than needing assistance
with your site and not being able to get it.
- SET UP FEE/MONTHLY FEE: Some hosts charge an initial set up fee to get your
website set up and running on their server. Make sure you check on this when
comparing prices. I've seen monthly fees of others ranging from $9.99 to
$39.99, depending on the plan and services offered. My advice to you would be
to look past the cheapest and most expensive ends of the scale and go with a
mid-range pricing plan to be on the safe side. You should be able to pick up a
reliable web-host for less than $30-month.
- HARD DRIVE/SPACE ALLOWED: How much server space they're willing to give you
is important if you're going to compare apples to apples. You need to keep in
mind the size of your site when deciding how much space you really need.
Generally, 5 MB is plenty for a small site. You might want to ask if you can
pay for more space should your site ever outgrow its present state.
- FTP ACCESS/TELNET ACCESS: Even if you plan on using Frontpage to manage
your site, you'll still need to have FTP access. It is usually standard, but it
never hurts to ask. Make sure you keep your user-name and password in a safe
place. You'll use FTP to set file permissions and to upload your files to the
web-server.
- Telnet can be very useful for troubleshooting CGI scripts and changing
server configurations. There are some servers that will not grant telnet
access.
- CGI-BIN: A very important component if you're planning on adding any sort
of interactivity to your site like forms, shopping carts, etc. Usually comes as
standard equipment, but I've seen some of the cheaper hosts leave it out
entirely.
- EMAIL BOXES/POP-3 ALIASES: One thing that's very important to me is the
ability to use different aliases with my domain name.
- For example, if your domain is 3-G.com, you may want to set up separate
addresses to sort your email like service@3-G.com or support@3-G.com, etc. They
may all funnel into the same mailbox, but you can set up filters at your end,
making customer service a whole lot easier.
- If you have a "wildcard" account, you can set up as many aliases
as you like. If you have other employees who will need their own private box,
check with the web host to see how many boxes they will allow.
- WEBSITE STATISTICS: Once you start getting web-traffic, you'll want to know
where it's coming from and what pages of your site are being visited. Some web
hosts will throw stats tracking in with their standard package or at least give
you access to your log files, which you can then use with third party software
to run reports on the traffic your site is receiving.
- MISCELLANEOUS THOUGHTS:
- 1) If you want to use Microsoft FrontPage: Do they have the Front Page
Server extensions installed?
- 2) Do they offer auto responders?
- 3) How about a secure-server option for payment transactions?
- 4) Do they back up all websites in case of disaster?
- 5) Do they offer assistance in programming or design work if needed at an
hourly rate?
- 6) Do they offer shopping cart software if you're going to be selling
products?
- 7) Do any customized forms come standard with your account, like feedback
or order forms?
- 8) Bandwidth- Be aware Bandwidth is how much data can be transferred in a
month's time. This shouldn't be a concern unless you're getting a ton of
traffic, but be aware that most hosts do have limitations on what they'll
allow.
- As you can see, there are many factors to take into account when choosing a
web host. Your host is essentially the spine of your site, so you want to make
sure that the one you choose is reliable and solid. Nothing can ruin a site
faster than an unreliable host. I know; been there, done that.
