Getting a Website

     Now that you have yourself an e-book to sell it's time to make your presence on the Internet. (If you haven't don't worry, we'll get there.)

     There are thousands of hosting plans out there some cheaper than others. Some more promising  than what they deliver, some deliver more grief  than what they promise.

     The thing is, you will want to be dealing with the best, and finding the best at the cheapest price is a very hard and strenuous task. Luckily, I have just the perfect web hosting company for you, but more on that later.

     First, you'll need a domain name. This is something that looks like:

   www.YourDomain.com

     This is a tricky but easy part of getting a web site. You'll need to inspire trust in your customers so DO NOT LOOK FOR FREE WEBSPACE!

     Sorry for the block capitals but If you're going to use free webspace you'll end up with adverts from other companies, and you will get a domain name that looks very unprofessional which will get customers away from your web site quicker a tennis ball can fall off a chair!

     It's as if you're screaming: "Run boy, run! I don't care about my business!"

     An example, a free web space domain will look like:

     www.YourInternetServiceProvider/User/CheapScam.htm

     This is the last thing you will want. And in some cases, your internet service provider will end up giving part of your webspace to another company that will advertise there for free which is far from ideal.  (Usually, by means of a rotating banner ad.)

     Plus, a domain name must be something simple and easy to remember and type, so your customers will have ease of access.

     The main problem with finding a domain name is availability. So it's up to you to find a domain name that suits you. The process itself is really simple.

     But it is important to find a domain name that can easily relate to your business.

     For example, it doesn't seem right to be selling medical advice from a website called WWW.SLAUGHTERS-AND-MISPRACTICE.COM. You get the picture by now.

     I recommend you think of the title of your e-book or area of trade and get a web domain that is related to it.

     Get everything in advance! Even if it costs you a little every month I strongly recommend you get your web site name or web hosting package in advance! This way you know what you are working for.

     Just make sure you get the right one. Even if you change your mind before going live, you can cancel your domain and get another one.

     Domain names are selling like free candy, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to find an unregistered domain name that suits you, so make your move as early as possible! This will also help you do a little research and you'll be learning a bit more straight away.

     Once you have your domain name registered with a good web hosting company, nobody can take it away from you and you can develop your entire product or products and website taking that in consideration. I suggest you get both domain name and web hosting with the same company as it will make your life a lot easier.

     It doesn't cost much to keep a domain name and it's worth to know in which direction you're going. You don't want to do any last minute changes as it will cost you a lot of time. (Yeah, I'm admitting to having made a few mistakes here myself!)

     Plus, once you have your web hosting, you can learn by experimenting with things. This usually leads to getting more ideas and knowing more about the direction you're heading.

     GETTING THE BEST PACKAGE

     What I am going to tell you know would leave most Netpreneurs upset. I have spent quite a bit of money in all the wrong web hosting packages and made some unnecessary mistakes in the past.

     What if I told you I've found the Perfect Web Hosting Package?

     It's obvious that, after you get your web site up and running you'll want to attract visitors, and get statistics for that traffic and have dynamic tools to help you and assist you manage your web site.

     Many new web site owners make the huge mistake of going for the cheapest possible option. This is like building your house on quick sand! Your business will fail!

     This kind of cheap web hosting package does not correspond to what your needs will be. Opting for the cheapest possible option will get your website offline as soon as you go over your traffic allowance, which will also be pretty small.

     This will inspire your customers to go look elsewhere. Not to mention how unreliable this sort of option is.

     For your business you will want to be dealing with the pro's. You'll need a reliable web hosting company that will want to ensure your success!

     You'll want a professional package that will leave you more than enough webspace and a massive traffic allowance as you never know how many people will come to visit your website.

     I use and recommend Third Sphere Hosting . Trust me, with this package you cannot go wrong. The first time I used it I thought I should be paying well over $200 per month for the amount of powerful tools you get.

     I'm usingThird Sphere Hosting to host my MakingSuccess.com web site (among others)and couldn't be more pleased with the service, even if they offered a free massage with it!

     I'm also recommending you get your web hosting package now as this will allow you to start getting familiarised with the help screens and how everything works, boosting your confidence with all this "internet stuff".

     Now that you have a web hosting package that will live up to any of your possible needs you can keep your mind focused on your web site and your customers.
