My husband and I are starting a small business. We have a domain name and are looking for a good host. I know a little about web design and would like to have the flexability to insert my own backgrounds, pics, etc. We may need to be able to have an option in the future for our customers to pay invoices online via credit card, etc. We are looking for something affordable and preferabley with a free trial. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you!
Website question?
Try http://www.terapad.com - can%26#039;t get much more bargain than free! For small businesses its quite good, you have to pay $5 a month to remove the ads, but you get all the features of a business website, CMS, Web Pages, Shop, Forums, News, and easy integration with Google Analytics if you want to track your success. You can fully customise your layout as well, because Terapad allows you full access to your CSS. Worth a try .... Good luck :-)
Website question?
there are hundreds of sits out there. i would recommend www.godaddy.com. I have used them for years and am very pleased with their service.
You can also look at www1and1.com
Reply:Why don%26#039;t you check out http://www.godaddy.com web hosting. Also you can use PayPal to make your credit card sales. My wife does that and it%26#039;s cheaper than setting up a merchants accout to accept cards. PayPal accepts 4 different cards and your customers do not have to have a PayPal account to buy from you.
Reply:I%26#039;ve heard some bad things on go daddy. I like Webhero. Here is a guide to getting started: http://www.richkahmer.com/build-a-websit...
Once you get your site up you need to build inbound links.
Most of the directories online charge a one time fee to review your site and add it to their index. Here are three of my favorites:
http://www.avivadirectory.com/cgi-bin/af...
http://www.kahmer.com
http://www.joeant.com
The more inbound links to your site, the better you will rank
with Yahoo / Google / MSN.
Also work on your meta tags. Here is an
article on how they work: http://www.richkahmer.com/meta-tags.html
Reply:Hello! Well I%26#039;ve been doing on this site, its great, you can get your own FREE Domain Name and Free Web Hosting. You get more credits for posting in the forums and giving your referral link to your friends and by getting more credits, you get more privileges to your website, like more space and more bandwidth.
