Introduction:Web Site Hosting Brainstorm
|
This article runs through the factors you must consider as a newbie
before selecting what web site hosting service you use to host your
websites.
A web site hosting service allows you to make your site accessible to
the web. Your website is uploaded to a server belonging to the web site
hosting company, which in theory is on all the time and allows people
to access your website.

Free Web Hosting: Generally to be avoided if you are serious about your
affiliate marketing business.
- Free web hosting runs ads [usually google ads] on
your web page in the most prominent area and all the clicks earn
revenue the hosting company rather than you.
- The downtime, ie period when your server is not
online, could be more with free hosting resulting in loss of revenue
for your affiliate marketing business. You cannot get visitors if your
website is not live
- Bandwidth is limited. The Bandwidth determines how
much data can be retrieved from you websites server. If you are lucky
enough to have lots of visitors, your site may crash because of
insufficient bandwidth
- Your affiliate marketing business might not be taken
seriously by your visitors. Who is going to buy a $50 product from a
site with "hosted free by whoever" splashed across the top of the page
Cheap Web hosting: I avoid this but if you are new to affiliate
marketing and testing out an idea the perhaps using cheap hosting
is appropriate.
- The only real advantage of Cheap web hosting over
free web Hosting is that there are no hosting company adverts posted on
your site.
- If there are any google ads it is because you placed
them there and they will be earning revenue for you
- Downtime and bandwidth issues still apply
- Limited storage space. If you plan to build a
thousand page web site with videos and lots of graphics, cheap web
hosting is not for you
Premium web hosting Accounts: This is a must if you are serious about
setting up an affiliate marketing website. Advantages include
- Loads of Storage
- Bucket loads of Bandwidth
- Most reputable hosting companies will allow you to
host 5 to 10 URLs on one premium account
- Most Premium hosting accounts come with training,
templates, SQL, email accounts etc
