Second, after you get a free web space and a second domain name, you can try to build up your web site by either making one by yourself if you know how to build one, or you can use the web site generating system, with which you can make a web site even if you have no knowledge about how to make one by using frontpage or dreamweaver.

Multiple Web Hosting In One Machine

December 25, 2009 by Web Hosting Watch  
Filed under Setting Up Accounts

Many people around the world find the concept of multiple webhosting a confusing one. They wonder whether it implies the hosting of a set of multiple websites in one machine or in one package. Although there are much confusions, but the concept is truly straightforward.

Multiple web hosting refers the hosting option for multiple websites with a single package or in your own system. This is mainly due to the fact of excessive competition among the hosting companies, leading them to integrate and offer multiple and unlimited web hosting plan with a single package to their customers.

Who Needs Multiple Web Hosting Plan?
If you are running multiple businesses of your own and want to create a virtual presence for each of them, a multiple web hosting plan can definitely be the best choice for you. You can buy a single account and then you are allowed to host multiple web sites as per your individual business needs.

There are many web hosting service providers who can offer you 10 add-on domain names against your web space that you have bought. This means you can host 10 more websites along with your primary website in the web space that you have purchased from the hosting provider. Needless to say, operating with the help of a single account not only saves money, but it also saves time.

How to Set Up Multiple Web Hosting Account?
Typically, when you register for a web hosting account, your web hosting company allows you to create a single website under your account. If you want to take the facility of multiple domain account, you have to make a request to your hosting service provider that you want to put multiple domains in your account.

While setting up the multiple domains feature, you need to create a root directory at the first place and then create separate folders or directories for each website you want to host. With the help of the control panel, you can add all the domains to your hosting account. For instance, if you would like to upload two different websites, you need to create two separate folders under root directory for each of these two websites.

How Does It Work?
The working procedure is really simple for multiple web hosting. However, you need to configure the domain names appropriately. You have to upload some redirecting code under your root directory, so that when a user makes a query about particular domain, the end result shows the appropriate domain to the user instead of any other domains hosted under the same account name.

This implies that the search algorithm relies on the root folder accessibility in order to open the default page. This works due to the fact that the request goes directly to the root folder where you have already created two separate files for the default pages and there the search process will open the particular website depending on the request for the specific domain name.

Introduction

What do you do if you want a good looking website, but don’t want to have to install and learn complicated new software? Previously the answer was either to pay someone else to create the site for you, which was very expensive, or to choose a wizard driven online site builder. These create generic, drab looking sites that are very restricted in terms of functionality and in terms of how much you can change them. WebEden is a new service that provides the next generation of website building.

What is excellent about WebEden is the scope of the offering. Starting at only £2.99/month, cheaper than some standard web hosting packages, you get a
hosted website together with an online website creator that makes generating a site and updating it, from anywhere in the world, a walk in the park.
Best of all, WebEden grows with you, so you can start out knowing nothing about creating a website and the system is intuitive that you can have your own
new website up and running in half an hour. If you just need a site that looks presentable and offers the right information that you need, then simply use the wizard to set up a site. Even in its most simple form though, it’s better than other wizard driven sites, as you can choose the type of site you are after so that the right pages are created, and then a basic template for the design and then the colour scheme you want as well.

These tick box driven decisions by themselves mean that your site will have an individual look about it, but will look better than 90% of the hand created sites you see online. As you get used to the WebEden system though, you can edit the site and change any part of it that you want, all through the online interface. And we don’t just mean changing the colours, fonts or the graphics, the whole layout of pages can be controlled easily through your browser. The system can even password protect parts of your site and add Message Boards for interactivity. If this sounds interesting, then the good news is that you can try WebEden for free as they have a 14 day free trial, so you can play with the system all you like without any risk. Go to www.webeden.co.uk and sign up for free now.

Get started with WebEden

How to sign up with WebEden and get your first website ready for visitors in half an hour

Step 1
You can try out WebEden by clicking on the 14 day trial icon on the home page and starting the wizard. The wizard takes only a few steps and you don’t need to enter any credit card or financial data to try out the site, only a valid email address which is used to validate your WebEden account. The first step of the wizard gives you a set of options for the purpose of your website. By selecting the purpose, you decide the number and titles of the pages on your site, so for
example you can have a home page with a music page, links, message board and hit counter, or a site for a club you may run with club news, events and photo gallery. You can see the different pages for each purpose by clicking on the relevant button – the list of pages will appear above. If none suit your purpose, you can choose a Blank purpose and add your own pages later. The next step will allow you to combine the pages titles you’ve chosen with a design template.

Step 2
WebEden has many advanced features which we’ll look at in later tutorials, but for now let’s look at one of the key ones, which is the menu editing feature, which is the key to great website building. The menu changes you make in the site organiser are automatically site wide, so you don’t need to worry about making sure changes are replicated across pages. You may also decide that you want a part of your menu to be a category for new pages, rather than a link to an individual page. Create the new pages and then drag them up so they sit under the category link. Click on the arrow next to the page number in the Organiser and it will make the page a sub-page of the one above it.

Now the website builder knows what type of site – and therefore what pages – are needed, it will combine these with the design template. Again there are buttons which when you click on one the preview will be shown above. The difference here is that as well as choosing the basic template for your page’s design, you will see there are three colour buttons under the preview. Once you’ve selected a template, click on the colour button you prefer and you will see the colour scheme applied to the template. Note that there are two pages of templates to choose from.

Step 3
Once chosen, you can move on to final step which requires you name the site and enter an email address. You can then create your own website and you will be taken to a view of your new site.

That’s it!

What’s next?
Now you have the site, simply click on any area that you wish to change and you will be able to edit it. Start with the basics, which is entering the text you want on your website.

By single clicking on an item you will see the bounding box that surrounds any item. This is like the boxes you will find in any design package on your PC, so you will find control boxes at the corners and mid-points of the bounding box. You
can use these to stretch or shrink the object. You will also see that the floating Editor dialog changes as you select different objects on a page. This dialog allows you to change the dimensions of an object or the location of it by entering the pixel data. If the object is a text object you can double click on the object and you will now be able to change the text itself. If you already have the text that you want to appear on a web page written in a Word document, then you can copy it into your pages by opening the document and selecting the text and copying it to the clipboard by pressing Ctrl-C. Then go into WebEden and double click on the text box you wish to edit, then select the text by wanding it in, and press Ctrl-V to paste over it. When you have finished entering the text for a page, you can click on the Save icon to save it, or if you click on a different page in the menu, you will move to edit that page, and WebEden will prompt you to save the page automatically. As long as you don’t simply quit the
browser, there should little chance of you inadvertently losing any changes you make to pages. Clicking on the pages in your site menu may take you to the individual pages so you can edit those, but how do you edit the menu itself to rename pages or add pages to your site. Website Builder makes this easier than any other method we’ve seen. Simply go to Pages / Organise pages and
the dialog there lists the pages currently in your site. To change the order of pages in the menu, click on a page in the Drag column and move it up or down the list. Type over the page’s name in this dialog to change it on all pages, and click on the “Add a new page” to add one to the menu. See below for sub-menus.

Editing objects in WebEden

The beauty of building a website with WebEden is the speed with which you can edit pages or make site wide changes. Here’s 6 Menus to Basic Editing of your webeden.co.uk website

1. Edit menu
This allows you to operate on the currently selected object. Everything you see on a page is an object and to use it, you simply click on it and drag it around the page, or click here to edit it. You can delete objects from the Edit menu, send them to the back (as you can put objects on top of each other, like using layers in DTP programs), or change some more generic settings. For example, you can change the settings for the current page here, so you can set it as a private page that only registered users can see. The Edit menu also allows you to manage who is registered on your site and send them emails if you have chosen a package that includes this feature. Many of these features are not normally available in low end hosting packages or in normal HTML, but are possible because of the unique delivery system WebEden uses.

2. Pages menu
This menu lists the pages on your site, so you can jump to one to edit it. It also allows you to organise the pages and set which is the home page, etc. a great way to create your own website.

3. Insert menu
This is a very powerful menu as it allows you to add all manner of elements to your pages. As well as text and images, you can choose File, which brings up the File Manager. We’ll look at this in detail in the next part of this series, but you will come to love it because it gives you access to the WebEden library, which includes polls, animations, frames, games and much more.

4. Design menu
You can change the fonts, background, and the “Page Master” which is the template that contains elements that are on every page, like the menus. This menu also allows you to change the overall dimensions of your pages.

5. Active object
The currently selected object on a page will show a bounding box, a real help when you make your own website.

6. Editor dialog As you select different objects or add ones, this editor changes to offer options.

When you create your own website with WebEden you can have interactive elements like polls added easily, as well as your own images, all added to the existing template.

DID YOU KNOW?
When you create your WebEden account, you simply step through the wizard as described on the next page and select a subdomain, like tutorial. webeden.co.uk, as your web address. If you want to have a “proper” URL, you can register a web address and simply get it to forward to your WebEden address automatically.

That’s all for now

I Need A web Host

How To Choose The Right Web Hosting ServiceNeed Web Hosting?Indeed, choosing the right web hosting service for your website is not the easiest taskin the world, especially when there are thousands of web hosting providers all offering almost identical web hosting packages. Therefore, it is important to consider a few major points before you start your web hosting search. Below are three major criteria for needing a web host:Web hosting features requirementThis is probably the most important consideration to start finding a host for your site. You need to decide the technical requirements for your website, this including:a) Server platform and hardware requirementsIf you plan to set up a website that uses programming environments such as Visual Basic scripts, Cold Fusion or Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL database, in this case, you will need to find a web hosting service that supports Windows platform such as Windows NT or Windows 2000 servers.Likewise, if you plan to use programming languages such as Perl, CGI, SSI, PHP or mySQL database, then any web hosting plans that support Unix/Linux platform should be sufficient to meet your hosting requirements. Once you have these server platform and hardware requirements in mind, you can decide the best web hosting plans for your need.b) Disk space & Bandwidth requirementHere is another technical requirement that you need to consider before selecting a web hosting plan, i.e. disk space and bandwidth. If you intend to publish a website that does not have a lot of contents (meaning, web pages), then the disk space requirement may not be a big concern to you. In general, a disk space with 200MB to 500MB should be enough to meet your hosting requirement. In contrast, if you plan to host a website with enormous amount of graphic pictures, mp3 or video files, then you should consider a web hosting plan that provide huge disk space, for example, 500 MB to 1,000 MB.Similarly, the bandwidth requirement will depend on your site traffic estimation. Obviously, a website that expect to attract high traffic will consume the monthly bandwidth allowance very fast. If so, you will need to find one web hosting service that offer huge bandwidth with 40 GB to 100 GB per month. Depending upon your website requirement, choosing a web hosting service that provide sufficient amount of disk space and bandwidth is crucial consideration to prevent paying extra costs in the future should you overuse the monthly disk space and bandwidth allowance.c) Other hosting featuresWhile the above requirements are of utmost importance, there are other hosting features that you have to consider too. Can the web hosting provider support video clips on your website, if you have? Is the web hosting service compatible with Dreamweaver or FrontPage web authoring tool? Do you plan to set up a virtual store online?Can the host support the e-commerce features without adding extra cost to your monthly payments? On top of that, you may also want to find out the number of email accounts provided, number of FTP accounts, web statistic software (analyze your web traffic), type of control panel supported (manage your web hosting account), database and scripting languages supported and etc.Reliability and scalabilityA first-class web hosting provider offers reliable server uptime and fast Internet connection. You should only choose a web hosting service that guarantee at least 99%server uptime with high-speed Internet backbones using at least OC3 (Optical Carrier) lines (155 Megabits per second) or above instead of T1 or T3 lines. A reliable web hosting provider usually invests heavily on their data center infrastructure with high performance servers, high speed multiple backbones providers with fail-over redundancy, backup power generators and firewall software protection in place to ensure they meet the uptime guarantee specified in the terms of service.Similarly, you should choose a web hosting service with hardware facilities that designed for scalability, so that they can grow with your business. For example, if you need to increase more disk space, bandwidth or number of mySQL databases, you should be able to upgrade as needed without any problems.Customer service and supportThe last major consideration in choosing a web hosting service is to find a web hosting providers that offers excellent customer service and support. You should always search for a web hosting provider that offers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week technical support that fielded with highly experience technicians, so that any web hosting problems will be resolved within a reasonable amount of time. You may also want to consider to test how responsive is their customer support by sending few inquiry emails to the web hosting provider. In general, any response in less than 24 hours is considered acceptable. It is a sign of poor customer support if they take more than one day to response.In addition, a web hosting provider with excellent support should also provide multiple support channels, such as 24/7 email support, live chat, online knowledgebase, Interactive flash tutorials and FAQ.Also, how long has the web hosting provider been in business and what number of customers do they currently have are also a good indication of the quality of their hosting products as well as the stability of the company. Even though cost of the web hosting service is also important but it should not be your major consideration. Because the price of a web hosting service has been declining over the years due to competition, as a result, the price of most of the web hosting services offering quality hosting features has been converging to less than US$10 per month. If you can’t afford less than $10 per month, you probably will not be in the online business for the long haul. Therefore, price should not be a major deciding factor.On the other hand, it is more important to ensure the web hosting service that you choose is able to meet your website hosting requirements, guarantee your website is always accessible with satisfying speed, provide scalability to grow and expand your website as well as offer excellent customer supports.

Choosing Vps Over Shared Hosting

December 18, 2009 by Web Hosting Watch  
Filed under Setting Up Accounts

 

These days you can easily come across so many different web hosting plans. Each of them has their own plus points and negative points too. The least expensive and quite popular enough is shared hosting. Here, there are hundreds of web sites which are all sharing a single and large hard drive. However, this type of hosting is not suitable for all types of sites. There are certain websites which get high traffic. Usually, those websites which get high traffic are the ones who opt for a dedicated server. Virtual Private Servers is considered to be the poor mans dedicated server.

 

In a VPS hosting, the server is partitioned into multiple private spaces. Although you are still sharing a server with other clients, yet you get your own private ‘slice’ of this server. In such a situation, your website performance will not be affected by the other clients who share the same server. This is because each client has his own virtual private space in which they run. Hence, clients who opt for VPS servers, has access to the same type of services which is similarly compared to a dedicated hosting concept. Shared server accounts often depend upon the performance and good behavior of the neighboring accounts. Suppose, if one account violates their terms of service by sending emails, this type of action will load the server and in the bargain, it will create an adverse effect upon the performance of all the shared server accounts that are available on that particular server.

 

In the case of a VPS account, even if your VPS neighbor acts badly, it will not have any impact on other neighboring accounts too. They will tend to impact only their own account. This is because each account has the ability to appear like a separate server to the Internet. Also, the neighboring accounts cannot grab your memory at all. VPS is less expensive compared to a dedicated server. It also gives you more freedom and several options towards growing on-line business than shared hosting. Some people, who have a website with low-to moderate traffic bound website, are happy with the amount of control offered by a web hosting control panel like cPanel or Plesk. Such individuals will prefer shared hosting for simplicity and to use it in an easy manner. These types of people do not have linux system administration experience and they are not concerned in picking up any. There are others who have outgrown their shared hosting account or are not happy with the performance of the website. If such a situation arise, then it is high time that they now move to a VPS account.

 

A VPS can be set up with whatever software and can be configured in whatever manner the developer needs. A VPS can be used for small ecommerce sites with greater security and it has the ability to use more sophisticated software than that is available on a shared hosting plan. Through VPS, one can enjoy more uptime which is good for ecommerce merchants. Also, if one VPS crashes, it will crash without affecting any of the other virtual machines that run on that server. Due to this technique of compartmentalization, virtual servers will have no access to other virtual servers on the same physical machine.

This leads the VPS plans to become a bit more secure than traditional shared hosting plans.

Buying Your First Website? Avoid the Cookie Cutters!

December 11, 2009 by Web Hosting Watch  
Filed under Setting Up Accounts

There are more websites for sale on Ebay than ever before, not to mention in a hundred other places. Unfortunately a lot of them are “cookie cutter” websites. Or, a site with identical or very similar content which has been reproduced over and over again for sale.

With so any people jumping on the adsense bandwagon with visions of easy profits from working at home it is not surprising to see so many of these types of websites for sale.
Many sellers are eager to exploit this new market. So what they will do is create, or use a free website template and resell it over and over and over again, sometimes with the exact same content.

One term you will see used loosely and often in these auctions is the word “established”.

Established has a completely different meaning to the person selling and the potential customer looking to purchase a website. In the vast majority of cases established only means that the site has been set up on a server, submitted to the search engines and has started to be indexed.
To most people already in the business, an established site would be one that is already creating revenue for the owner.

Do a quick review of the persons feedback.

A lot of these sellers will make their feedback private so you cannot see that they have sold the same site many times before. If they say it is unique, that may only mean that it is their own unique creation and not someone else’s, it does not necessarily mean they will not resell it a hundred times over.

There are three keys to the success of your site. Marketing, marketing and more marketing. Much like a brick and mortar business is location, location location.
If you want to make any money you will have to invest a lot of time researching your competition, and developing marketing strategies.

In short, you must drive the traffic to YOUR site.

One last thing to look for is if they require you to host the site with them for a period of time. A lot of webmasters make their money not so much from the site itself, but from the hosting of it.

There are a LOT of hosting companies out there and there is no reason for anyone to pay $9.95 a month anymore and be committed to a long term, unwanted relationship with them when you can get your own hosing for much less, sometimes even free.
And don’t let them tell you it’s because the site will only work on their servers, or they need to keep it on their servers to be sure it runs correctly, yada yada.

If you have decided to purchase a site, unless you really want to stay with them go ahead and sign up for your own hosting account. Also be SURE that they will move the site to your host and guarantee its functionality.

Above all, do not leave any feedback until you are absolutely sure the site functions the way it should.

In summary, be sure to ask a LOT of questions and do a LOT of research on the seller and the type of website you are considering buying before you commit to anything.

Some Things To Consider When Evaluating Your Website.

December 6, 2009 by Web Hosting Watch  
Filed under Setting Up Accounts

You have either put a lot of effort into your website or you have paid someone else a lot of money to put the effort in for you. Either way, whatever the purpose of the website, you want to get the most out of it. The question now becomes, how you can tell if your website is likely to succeed.

Why?

The first thing to do is to ask yourself why you have set up the website. Are you trying to sell a product or provide information or something else? What do you want to happen when a visitor lands on your pages? “For a man without a destination no wind is favourable”. (An old saying attributed to many) If you do not know exactly what you want to happen, how can you expect the visitors to your website to know and do it? You are the one who ought to have the site set up to direct people to their destination. If you don’t know what that is, then all is lost.

Your visitors probably know why they visited your site. You too must know why they came and help them do what they came to do. If your website does not provide what they need they will move on to another one. Just because you are getting all the traffic you could hope for does not mean that your site will succeed.

Your Website’s Conversion Rate.

You will need to measure your success rate. There are a number of ways to do this. One is the Conversion rate. Simply put, the conversion rate is the rate at which you convert visitors into buyers. Or if you are not selling it is the rate at which you convince people to do whatever it is you need them to do. It could be to sign up for your newsletter of subscribe to something else, etc. If you have one hundred visitors to your website per day and you convert two, your conversion rate is two percent.

It is a reasonably good measure of you’re the quality of your website. If your site is not converting, you will know that you need to make changes to the site. However, it could also mean that you marketing or advertising campaign is sending untargeted traffic to your site. In other words sending visitors who are not in the least bit interested in what you have to offer.

SEO & Traffic Generation

The whole point of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is traffic generation. The idea is that you optimise or fine tune your website so that it gets to the top of the search results when people enter a search term that is contained in your website. You do this to get traffic. If your site is not properly optimised people are unlikely to find it. Unless of course you have found some narrow niche that nobody else has heard of, which will not bring a lot of visitors. SEO involves using the correct keywords in the correct way and arranging the contents and menus in the right way and most important of all is link building.

To rank highly, at the time of writing, the single most important thing to do to rank highly in the search engines is to increase the number of links to your site from quality websites which have content related to the subject of your site.

Content

It may sound obvious to most people but, the content of your website should be based on the subject of your product. For example if your website is set up to sell computers then it should contain articles about computers and computing etc. not gardening articles. If you have articles on unrelated subjects they will only serve to confuse your visitors and undermine your website’s and your own credibility as a sourct of products and information about computers or whatever your website is promoting.

The content should be keyword rich but not saturated or you may show up on spam radar. The content should be broken up into manageable paragraphs and properly laid out with headers for each section, making it easier to read and navigate.

Navigation

Getting the visitors to your website is only half og th battle. You then must give them what they want. What do they want? Well, the first thing they want is to find their way around your website without pulling their hair out in frustration. These days there is far too much competition on the internet for that to happen. They will move to another website at the first sign of difficulty.

Arrange all the links and buttons in a way that is easy to read and understand. Do not over fill each page. If there is too much choice people do not make a choice they just get confused and… you guessed it. They move to another website.

The first page they land on, usually the index page should be interesting. It should be obvious to them that they have landed on a page with the content they came for and the way to navigate to that content should be very clear. Do not try to give them everything on the front page.

Ease of Use

Having found what they were looking for how easy is it for your visitors to accomplish what they came to do. Do they need to fill out pages of information or can the do their business in a few clicks? If people have to figure out the puzzle that your website is they will move on unless you have something so attractive and necessary that they will stay at all costs. If you have a product like that then you can not charge enough for it.

It is always a good idea to have a professional web designer look over the site and point out any obvious flaws. I say obvious flaws because not all corrections are obvious and are often discovered through trial and error. You should keep tweeking the website in a continuous attempt to improve it. There is always room for improvement. Though it is also said that you should not fix something that works. I think that the best thing is to make gradual changes and if they are not a major improvement, at least they will not be a major disaster.

If you are not confident enough to do the coding and graphics etc. for your own site, there are many professional web designers out there who live for it. So don’t let it stop you from getting you name, product or information out there.

How to build your website for online business?

December 5, 2009 by Web Hosting Watch  
Filed under Setting Up Accounts

There are basic components that you need when starting your online business.

Get a Domain Name and Web hosting.

The domain name is the address of your website on the internet. Having your own domain name indicates for your visitors and potential customers that you are a serious businessman.

Depending on what you want out of your domain name, this will determine how you choose it. You will want to take out a piece of paper to write down ALL the keywords related to your Internet Business.
Your domain name must to be:
-short, simple and easy to remember,
-relevant to the product or service you’re selling,
-include keywords of your product or service to improve search engine rankings.

Next, check whether the domain name has been registered or not. If the domain name has been registered by someone else, you will have to use another domain name. Once you register a domain name, it is yours, as long as you pay the annual fee.

*******************************************************

*******************************************************

Now, you need to set up a virtual web space. You need to find a good web hosting company.

Do not be tempted by FREE hosting. The risk of your site having downtime and lousy support far outweighs whatever you can save by not having a proper hosting company. Also, this would give a bad impression to your customers. Free accounts are not for anyone even half serious about doing business on the Web. Not when you can get a perfectly acceptable commercial host for as little as $10 / month.

Most hosting companies provide a range of services, starting with low-budget packages and moving up to more advanced and expensive features. Generally, you want to make sure that your host has a fast connection to the Internet and can handle large numbers of simultaneous visits (bandwidth) to your website. And you’ll need secure server capabilities. As is the common practice now, they should be offering you a variety of related services (cgi. capabilities, ftp. accesses) and support for your business use.

*******************************************************
http://www.workathome-makemoneyonline.eu/builwebsite.html
*******************************************************

Payment Processing Systems.
The next phase of building an online business is to integrate it transaction systems. Transaction is the most important aspect of any online business! Payments with credit card are the fastest and the most efficient form of a transaction on a website. The most vital aspect of the complete transaction process is security and authentication of the transactions on your website. You should incorporate a payment system that accepts all major credit cards. After all, you wouldn’t want to lose a sale just because you do not accept a certain credit card.

Your Follow Up System.

As good as your website conversion rate may be, a big number of your prospects will not buy your products at first contact. They might want to do a comparison between your product and other people’s product, need more time to think about it, or leave your web page for whatever reason. And the truth is that we all can hardly remember where we were ten web pages ago.

*******************************************************
http://www.workathome-makemoneyonline.eu/buildwebsite.html

So, you need to set up an automatic system that follows up with your prospects to continue persuading them to buy your products. A good followup system will allow you to close sales even after your prospects have left your web page.

1. Write a Series of Follow-Up Letters.

Your short newsletter must contain valuable information that is especially useful to your prospect because he would not like to be followed up on to reconsider. However, he would not mind receiving something of value to him through your newsletter, which will enable you to end with a reminder of the value of your product to him at the closing of your letter.

2. Sign Up For an Autoresponder Service.

If you’ve ever asked for information online about a product or service, or signed up for an e-list or group membership on the Internet, and received a nearly instantaneous response in your e-mail inbox, an autoresponder program was responsible for delivering the reply.

An autoresponder is a computer program that automatically sends out prewritten e-mail messages to subscribers within its data base. You can determine the sequences and intervals of each of your messages, sparing you the time to manually follow-up with your prospects.

3. Store Your Follow-Up Letters into Your Autoresponder and Set Intervals between Your Letters.

Add all of your pre-written letter templates into your auto responder system. Set your first follow-up letter to go out immediately – 0 days. This means that your prospects will receive your first letter as soon as he subscribes to your follow-up series. Your second letter may be set to go out on the 2nd day, and the third 2 days after the second letter is sent out.

Step by Step Guide to Setting Up a New Whm Cpanel Server for Web Hosting Accounts

This is a guide to setting up a new WHM/cPanel Server to be used for web hosting accounts. It is intended for web hosting company administrators and dedicated server owners. For under $99 per month, it is easier than ever to manage and run your own dedicated server. You can have guaranteed uptime from your datacenter, and outsourced support starting at $30/month. All you need to do is set up the server and get going. Whether it is for a web hosting company or a couple of personal websites, an inexpensive Linux server is powerful, reliable, and easy to setup.

Web Host Manager (WHM) is a common Linux based tool for managing websites on a server. Panel is a common control panel to manage an individual website. It allows you to add email accounts, view stats, make backups, install programs, etc. These 2 tools are the most inexpensive set used commonly to manage hosting accounts, and you will find them very prevalent in the budget shared hosting world. It usually adds about $20/month to the cost of a dedicated server but provides most of the features of the more expensive tools.

Whenever you order a dedicated server from a datacenter, you will receive a welcome email with details of the server including the server name, ip addresses, and root password. This information will allow you to setup and configure WHM so that you can host websites and use your own custom Domain Nameserver instead of a raw IP address.

The first thing you need to do is the setup of Web Hos tManager (WHM). This includes configuring the default Domain name servers, main IP address, and server contact email address.

1) Login to root WHM (http://:2086) 2) In the left margin, click Next to run the setup wizard 3) Agree to the end-user license agreement 4) Edit setup a. Server contact email address: info@yourdomain.com This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it b. Default Cpanel theme: x c. Default home directory: /home d. Home directory prefix: home e. Main shared virtual host IP: xx.xxx.xxx.xx (should be main IP of server) f. Hostname: server.yourserver.com g. Primary name server: dns1.yourserver.com h. Secondary name servers: dns2.yourserver.com I. Leave everything else unchanged j. Click Save

Next, you need to setup the system quota. To do this follows these instructions: 5) Click Next Step in left margin – system sets up initial quota. No need to wait for initial quota to setup….Click Next Step again 6) DOES NOT enable names ever. Click Next Step again

Now we need to setup the Resolve. This is specific to your datacenter and the information will be provided in the Welcome details for your dedicated server. 7) Resolve setup: a. Click Continue b. Primary Resolve: xx.xx.xx.xx (this is datacenter specific) c. Secondary Resolve: xx.xx.xx.xx (this is datacenter specific) d. Tertiary Resolve: leave blank e. Click Continue f. Click Next Step 8) Not necessary to enter a MySQL root password 9) Click Finish

Initial setup is done, and you should now be able to login to root WHM. Now you can create the accounts needed to setup the name servers that you want to use on this dedicated server. 1) Login to root WHM again 2) “Create a New Account” (this is to be the main account: yourserver.com). Do not give this account a dedicated IP…. It will use the main server’s shared IP address. 3) Under “IP Functions”, click “Show IP address usage”. If only the main server IP is listed, that means you have to add the additional IP address to the server. Click “Add a New IP address”, and enter: xx.xx.xx.xx-xx Leave subnet mask unchanged, and click “Do It” 4) Click Show/Edit Reserved IPs, and check an IP to reserve it, and enter a reason (i.e. dns2.yourserver.com) 5) Under “DNS Functions” click “Edit DNS Zone”, then select yourserver.com and click “Edit”. Use the main IP address for the first 2 lines and the next IP address assigned to the server for the third line. A. Under “Add new entries below this line”, enter: server 14400 IN AN xx.xx.xx.xx (leave far right box blank) dns1 14400 IN AN xx.xx.xx.xx (leave far right box blank) dns2 14400 IN AN xx.xx.xx.xx (leave far right box blank) b. Note: The above entries are DNS entries for the two name servers being created, and the sever name dana.hostyourself.com. Once you’ve enter the three entries, click “Save” 6) If you get an “Error reloading BIND” error, go to “Restart Services” and click “DNS Server (BIND)”, then click YES to restart Bind.

That’s it! Now the server is all setup and ready to host cPanel hosting account with the name servers dns1.yourserver.com and dns2.yourserver.com. Of course you still need to go to your registrar and register these 2 new name servers and wait for normal propagation of 24-48 hours until the new name servers will work.

If this is a server being setup for a dedicated customer, be sure to tell them: 1) IP addresses of name servers so he can register them with his registrar 2) Root login information 3) Login info of main account you created for him 4) Tell him NOT to delete the main account, since doing so will also delete the DNS zones you setup above 5) New DNS zones should be added to the old server to help with DNS propagation.

If you follow these simple instructions once you get your server from the datacenter, then you will be ready to load websites and hit the internet. With cheap outsourced support companies available and world class datacenters providing under $99 servers there is no reason not to tackle the world of dedicated servers and web hosting for you.

New website hosting companies are increasing day by day. They have realized that the web hosting industry is also one of the few profitable sectors of the internet. To build a successful web hosting company, one needs to incorporate various important features as part of the web hosting mechanism. They are as follows:

1)Informative order form:

The online order form provided by the web hosting company should contain valid fields for collecting the required information towards: 1) verifying domain information for registration purpose. 2) Accept the transaction process of customer’s credit card. and be able to produce invoice. 3) Customers information should be added into the billing database for future needs. 4) All entered results should be validated. Once the order form is processed the website hosting account must be generated.

2) Provision of administration support:

An administration system should be incorporated in order to manage ordered accounts. With the help of an administration system, one can manually add or remove new domains or change passwords, accordingly.

3) Provision of control panel for customers:

An end user control panel facility must be provided for allowing the customers to manage their accounts. The customer should be able to set up email accounts, view web site statistics or manage files with the help of this control panel facility.

4) Efficient billing system:

There should be availability of an automated system. This automated billing system should be able to email invoices, charge credit cards and the automated billing system must be capable of suspending the customer’s overdue account.

5)Knowledge base technical support:

There should be a facility whereby a customer seeking for help should first access the FAQ list ( frequently asked question) which is knowledge based oriented. If the customer does not get satisfied answers to his queries, he can then proceed towards the facility of submitting trouble tickets. In other words, before he uses the facility of submitting trouble tickets, he must look for possibilities of getting answers to his present queries by putting in the necessary query keywords in the respective search field box and if he fails to get the right answer, he should then submit a trouble ticket in the for of a brief email.

A web hosting company must focus on offering high quality services with regard to various web hosting packages. In order to increase your web hosting business, you can take help of hosting directories. A web hosting directory does the job of attracting web site hosting customers. You can advertise in these types of directories by way of banner placement, search enhancement and other forms of advertisement. Also, keep in mind that banner ads are good for creating brand recognition. So, take advantage of the same. However, you must spend on advertisements based on your budget. You must find ways to increase your customers and as you have acquired a solid customer base, you can also try cross promoting your new web hosting products and services in order to generate additional revenue.
