17 Mar 10 5S Principle of Web Hosting

A lot depend upon a web host, when it comes to starting a business online. Therefore, you need to a pay close attention to the quality of a web host to opt for. Only money should not become the basis of your judgment because what looks cheap may cost you dearly in the long run.

Will you like to have a website that is down half of the time?

I hope not. For that matter, I have decided to outline 5S principles of web hosting, and will ask you to verify a web hosting account on all these parameters during your purchase process. Yes, money matters, but not as much as these do.

5S of Web Hosting

Swift: Speed is the essence of our time, so this not something on which you should compromise. A slow website is as good as dead. And the speed of your website does not only depend upon the code and the design of your website, but it also depends upon the strength of your web host. If your web host uses state-of-the-art technology and data center then your website will be faster.

Stable: How good a rocket-fuel-propelled website will be if it gets down even now and then? Your speed only matters if your website is live. For a website that is down often, it does not matter how speedy it is when it is live. You need to go for a webhost that gives 99.99% uptime—everyone writes that, but very few delivers, so check their credibility.

Secure: Who does not know the risk of venturing out on the Internet? There are viruses, spywares, malwares, trojans, and other types of malicious codes as well as hacker, crackers, spammers, etc., to crack into your website and take control of it. Hence, security is not something you should compromise on. See if the web hosting account you are using is secure or not.

Support: Ideally, I would like to suggest you to go for the one that never fails, but you also know that this suggestion will not take you anywhere because there is nothing like never-failing system. I would rather ask you to go with the web hosting company that has a strong support system to help you in case of eventuality. You should not be made to wait in queue for hours, if not days, when you need them.

Service: Agility and nimbleness of service and delivery is another thing that you need to look for in a web hosting service provider. Do not go for the ones that are too slow in responding your queries, or system of which is not fast enough.

Filter a web hosting company through this, and what you get is a strong, reliable, seldom-failing web host. And after all this, you should think of price of the service.

Recommendation: I would suggest you to check Gossimer’s the Ultimate Web Hosting
account as it has everything that you are going to need in your web hosting account.

06 Mar 09 Real ‘Work-From-Home’ opp

There are millions of money making opportunities on the internet, if you believe the advertisements and all the mails sent out each day. It is true that most of those are fake and just opportunities to skim money off gullible people. That must be a real fertile market, as there are hundreds of new ‘make money from home’ opportunities popping up online.

But then, making a generalized statement saying that ‘all money making opps online are fake’ is not true. The internet has made it possible for people to outsource work to the cheapest vendor, irrespective of where they are, and get paid irrespective of other normal factors that affect employment. In fact, if there was no internet, the BPO industry which has changed the economy of dozens of countries would not have existed!

Here are some of the real ones, and remember – most of the programs that pay you to work from home would not require you to pay an upfront fee.

Resell products

Some of the internet’s most profitable work from home ventures is reselling products online. A provider or a manufacturer that does not have the necessary resources to market, will prefer to pay other people to market and even if they have a marketing team, reselling is hugely profitable, as it opens up access from around the world. For instance, selling and registering websites is a business that is extremely popular and pays very well. Take a look at http://resellers.gossimer.biz/ for an illustration. There are several more kinds of products / services. Do your own research.

Work from home

The real one – not the namesakes that flood the internet. Websites like elance, guru and oDesk have created platforms to bring together clients and providers. They charge a fee on every billed transaction, and that is a win-win-win situation for the portal, the buyer, and the customer. But you need to have genuine qualifications to work there, as they require your certifications. Try them out.

Blogging – Advertising

On the internet, advertising is king, and with the advent of online ad services like Google AdSense, it has become possible for people to make money from their blogs and websites. However, you need to have real good content, or you can sell ads on behalf of another website. Try out a program that looks good.

Selling

If you are not into reselling, you can try selling some real products online. Sites like eBay and many more help you create an online store which you can register on for free. You have tons of resources available for you to market your store online, and if your services are good, you are in for some serious money!

These are just a few of the good opps online. If you are serious about working from home, your best bet would be to ask your way around, and see which are the ones that are really good.

All the best!

18 Feb 09 Making Money With The Use Of The World Wide Web Is Not A Myth

Websites, blog sites and other kinds of sites on the World Wide Web are sprouting like mushrooms. It could be because people are discovering that one can make money out of it. That is why you see people from all walks of life having their own private (or public) niche on the World Wide Web.

Everybody has a say these days which could be an advantage to most but it also carries a certain level of disadvantage. Wise albeit sarcastic people have said that everybody is an expert on the World Wide Web. But that is the beauty of it all, being given the chance to speak up and be heard. That is possible with the World Wide Web. You do not have to be a graduate of journalism in order to speak up.

If you do not have your own site yet, creating one is easy. You have to decide whether you want to avail of the free blog hosting service provided by many such as BlogSpot, wordpress and others or if you want to avail of web hosting services for a price. The cost is at a minimum. There are pros and cons to each. The most glaring advantage to the free sites is the fact that the site is free. But there are more advantages to a paid domain especially if you will venture to money making schemes such as paid advertising eventually. The advertisers look more kindly to the paid domain ones. Another advantage of paid web hosting sites is the customer service support they give to their clients 24/7. You are assured that they will get back to you as soon as they are able. Knowledge in HTML is no longer needed as web hosting services whether paid or free made sure that their features are user friendly. So even a child can make his or her own site on the web. However, it is also best to learn a little how it functions so you will know what to do when you encounter errors and you will know how to improve your site.

Those who are still undecided whether they can make money or not via the World Wide Web avail of the free blog hosting service first. They eventually convert or migrate their site to a paid one. Having your own site is not easy work. In fact, contrary to what people think, it takes a lot of patience and hard work to become successful in it. You have to build your readers, update it as frequently as you can, build your readers, improve your traffic and gain higher page rank. All these will make you money whether you are selling goods, services or both.

So what are you waiting for? It is time to join the band wagon. There is enough space for everyone.
