The Search Engines may not accept rating your web site if it has a sub-domain name not as part of your own dot.com name, especially if sub-domain is part of a free web host domain name.

If, for any reason, you’re interested in going this route, do a search on Google. For example, search for "Free web hosting" and discover more that 1.5 million references. For this reason, I can not pick any favorites, being unable to verify how reputable they are. Good luck with your search. Compare features, over and over. It is best way to narrow field of candidates.

CHEAP Web Hosting

Low cost web hosting will work for you if your budget is limited and you don’t want to spend money for larger disk space and other options that might not be necessary for you at moment.

Most providers in this category charge from $3 to $10 a month. Many of them do not offer you a Control Panel and a number of other useful features like tracking, autoresponders, sub domains, etc.

If you don’t need storage space or extra features, cheap web hosting is a workable solution, especially if your needs are not for e-business.

For some examples... nah, forget it, I don't want to give you examples of what I don't really believe in.

PROFESSIONAL Web Hosting

When you’re in it for long haul, it really pays to think and act like a Pro.

As you continue to add content to your site, you will need more disk space. As your traffic increases, so does your need for more bandwidth. You’ll want that sophisticated control panel with all bells and whistles -- unlimited autoresponders, unlimited email addresses, unlimited sub domains, detailed website statistics, website promotional tools, topnotch support and so on.

Prices for top level hosting range from $20 to $49 a month or more. Granted, it’s not free or cheap. But it’s BEST choice for running a successful online business. Time is money especially on Internet, and you want a web host that has enough power to assure that your website will load fast.

And before you sign on dotted line ...

Don’t be shy about doing some double checking. Send some emails and see how quickly company’s customer service responds. Get feedback from several existing customers on how they find service.

Due to intense competition between web hosting companies, they are constantly adding more features and better tools to attract new customers. So take time to do some comparing – don’t let anyone rush you. Make sure you sign-up with a reputable web host that can support you and accommodate all your needs as your web business expands.

and Niche Market Strategies for Maximum Profits

A well-planned, well-developed website can be a fundamental part of your business. Not only to present a professional image to your customers, but actually generate new business. And that means more sales!

So take a few hours to sit down and work out how your business website fits into bigger picture.

Takeaway Tips

* The more effort put into planning, more successful website is likely to be.

* Your business website will compete with many others for customers' attention. Professional presentation, design and functionality are essential. Money invested in good presentation is money well spent.

* A website and its objectives and capabilities must be a part of your overall business strategy.

* Always look for new ideas - look at other websites.

* Do not try and do it all at once. Develop your website in stages. Each stage should provide useful information and features for your customers. A staged development will also help to encourage repeat visits by customers.

* Ensure that your site is designed in a way that you can make changes to content yourself, from your own computer - avoid reliance on web developer for day-to-day changes.

* Update website content regularly, to keep it fresh and interesting.

Once you have an overall strategy for your business website in place, next thing to consider is budget. How much are you going to spend? After all for most businesses, money does't grow on trees… at least last time I checked ;-)
