Affiliate Marketing 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
