How To Get A Blog Up & Running

Tags: blog, Blogger, create website, wordpress

There are a lot of free options such as using blogspot and blogger platforms, this is good if you want to do basic things, but you will be very limited as customisation is concerned.

It is not rocket science folks, getting a website or in particular a blog is very easy, you just need to sort out 3 main fundamentals and that is, domain name, hosting and installation of your blog. Just prior to doing all this you may want to do keyword research to find what niche best suits you and the domain name you want with the correct keywords you want to target, so therefore I suggest you use Market Samurai first. Then once youre ready you should get started!

3 Easy Steps To Create Your Website / Blog

1. Godaddy – Buy your domain name (normally between $8- $10)

2. Hosting – Get low cost web hosting if you are stating out, or if you want more advanced hosting try Hostgator (normally just $37 per year)

3. WordPress – (Install WordPress it is free) If you want after it is installed I suggest using a custom design theme using Woothemes

Once you have all these 3 things put in place you can easily make money with your site as long as you put in all the right modules and plugins and build a community to drive the traffic then you can start discussing a niche that interests you and target affiliate campaigns towards that niche.

Additionally when you get all the plugins set up with your wordpress blog, then I highly recommend you get a newsletter program set up and a subscribe form which I use through Aweber.

Furthermore you can add modules such as facebook fan groups and twitter to integrate to your blog to give your site a community feel, and get reader coming back and people commenting.

And lastly what you will need to do is blog post regularly to get the most benefit to your readers and by doing so will get good traffic flow, usually no more then 1 hour a day is sufficient.

Lastly have fun while your doing it and good luck!

Location of Your Web Host

How important is the location of your web host? Here I explain how much more important it is then you think!

All the way from FTC regulations for blogging websites through to Global Warming, when choosing a web host you should really consider where their servers are located and if this effects the industry that you are in. Recent regulations say that Bloggers from USA need to follow the new FTC laws. So this also means if you are a blogger with a site on a US server you have to consider the legalities.

I recently started to use servers that are located in Canada because Canada is a cold destination and is a good way to keep the servers cool. There were recent talks from BBC that some countries such as Iceland are becoming more known now for IT hubs and server space. 100% of the country’s electricity is renewable and basically carbon free, much generated from water heated far below the ground. So carbon dioxide savings are enormous. Banks who have hundreds and thousands of servers are also looking at alternative re-location methods such as this.

Another example is if you are targeting website traffic from say New Zealand, then a server from New Zealand wil help you get your site more optimized for the New Zealand search engines. Search engines such as Google rank your site based on server location and IP. So for SEO purposes location plays a big role.

Also beware when having your server located in US. Never presume this is totally safe. For example, personally I wouldn’t host my websites on servers that are based in Florida as there are quite a lot of hurricanes, if your server is also located in earthquake areas then your chances of losing your data or sites are fairly high. There are alot of web host companies that have servers located in Texas and this area seems to be very safe.

UK Web Hosting companies are also another hot topic at the moment. Registration of European domain names are much easily accepted through UK host companies. Domain name registrations for .eu web addresses peaked at three million earlier this year. So this is a prime real estate area!

Be careful when having your websites located on Asian servers such as China or Thailand. If you state anything politically incorrect on your sites you can get fined big time, your sites will not only be shut down but you can also be imprisoned.

Having a local host is also an option for some as faster upload and download speed is a luxury for your websites and customer care is quicker for support.

Hope this is helpful for you for when choosing a host and remember to take into as much consideration as possible.

Free Vs Paid Web Hosting

Tags: Domains, Hosting, web hosting

servers If we compare between a free web hosting and a paid web hosting, it’s going to be a huge difference between them. Because in web hosting, more and more webmasters are relying on paid domains rather than free domains. What could be the comparison between these two types of web hosting? How could it affect our business or joint venture in the internet? If we we’re about to determine each of them, we may know who’s hot and who’s not, in terms of web hosting.

Free web hosting are simply programs which are free to avail. Free domains like 000webhost.com are one of the hottest and popular to ever attached in your blog or website. But the bad thing is, free domains only have limited features like:

Limited bandwidth
Limited disk space or storage
Limited file transfer
Limited hosting
And many more!

On the other hand, paid web hosting are simply programs which are being paid by webmasters to maintain their website’s credibility and performance. Most of them have different packages and plans which you need to pay for, but they have great features than free web hosting. Their features could possibly be:

Unlimited bandwidth
Unlimited storage space
Unlimited file transfer
Unlimited hostings
Up to 99.9% uptime
24/7 customer support
And many more!

Some of the best web hosting programs existed today are GoDaddy, HostGator, Dotster Hosting and many more. These programs are mostly used by the webmasters for their business like forums, web 2.0, making money online programs like paid-to-click (PTC), blog sites and many more.

So now we can really compare how paid web hosting is a big difference than the free web hosting, as it is better to be unlimited rather than limited. It’s an opportunity like no other, which individuals and business firms will rely on a monthly web hosting program that will be suitable for their needs.

There are also web hosting programs that offers a free domain name, if only we pay for a monthly plan of 12 months or even 24 months. HostGator is one of the programs with this kind of offer, and even they can guarantee us Google Adwords credits worth $50, all in one package. It will help our website boost traffic through contextual ads on promoting our site.

With the help of Adwords credits on any web hosting programs, more customers will be satisfied and to recommend one of them to their colleagues. So don’t stick to just free web hosting, go for the paid ones which can cost you monthly expense, but worth for your business. It really depends on your budget strategy.
