Starting A Home Based Business – Web Hosting’s Five Vital Tips

You have designed a good web site which represents your business well. Now what? The next step would be to get it a space on the Internet. How do you get your web site on the Internet? The process of getting your web site on the Internet and one of the most important aspects of starting a home based business is called “web hosting”. There are five very important aspects of web hosting which you should look into when you decide the web host for your web site. The aspects that will be mostly affecting your starting a home based business are described below:

1. Check the disk space offered: When starting a home based business, you will need adequate disk space to run your website. What you should seek is about 20 Mb maximum. You may get offers for much more, but while more will not harm you – you will not need it either so you should not bother too much if you get more.
2. Check the bandwidth: Your starting a home based business will be dependent on the traffic you will be able to generate. Much as you will compare people visiting a shop to see the wares the shop sells. And your capacity for accepting many visitors is directly dependent upon the bandwidth the web host provides you. What you need while starting a home based business is about 500 Mb to 1 Gb. Anything less and you will not be able to support sufficient traffic for your business – making you loose on business and popularity.
3. Check the server uptime: For any business to stay successful, it needs to be accessible. Much like having your shop open round the clock, server uptime will decide how long your website will be available for surfers. If your website does not open when a surfer checks it out, they will definitely move on to another site – and hence you loose precious traffic. This can kill you when starting a home based business. You should ensure that your web host offers you a 99.8 per cent server though some web hosts offer between 99.5 – 99.8 per cent. Anything less than 99.5 percent is unacceptable. And remember there is NO 100 per cent server uptime – if you are assured this, reject the web host as they are not honest.
4. Check the available technical support to your website: It is extremely important not only to have a good technical support, but also a very prompt one. There will be many times during the starting a home based business when you experience technical problems. If these are not tackled and solved immediately, your website will be history. Customers do not have time with problematic websites – they will not wait for you, but move on and you will loose precious leads and business. Technical support should not only be prompt, it should work round the clock, round the year.
5. Check a price around: Nowadays you can get web hosting done for a very reasonable price, and it is good to find a good bargain. However, a good bargain is not “cheap”. Calculate briefly how much would it cost to have a good server (without interruptions), and you should aim at around that much. If you settle for too cheap, you are more likely to get inferior services. Too low is not good news when starting a home based business, or any other business for that matter. It shows cutting of corners somewhere, which is not good.

Keep these points in mind when fishing for a good web host and you will be able to choose better.

National Ruby Slipper Award to honor an outstanding home-based business owner

Chandler, Ariz.(PRWEB) October 16 2003– Often seen wearing her own pair of ruby slippers, Janet Drez has created the prestigious national “Ruby Slipper Award” to honor an outstanding home-based business owner. Why ruby slippers? Because, according to Drez, “there’s no place like home” for home-based business owners.

Drez — veteran home-based business owner of A Perfect Solution, SBA 2002 Home-Based Business Advocate of the Year and chairwoman of the Home-Based Business Council — created this award to honor an outstanding individual home-based business owner. With SBA stats now touting 52% of US businesses are home-based, the award will also raise the awareness about the substantial and significant economic, cultural and relational impact of home-based businesses and will continue to raise the bar for home-based business owners.

“Many national small-business awards disillusion me because their financial, revenue and employee criteria preclude most home-based business owners from winning,” said Drez. “But it’s obvious today that home-based businesses play a significant role in our economy, as well as making it possible for people to enjoy the flexible lifestyle they’re looking for today.”

The only requirements for the Ruby Slipper Award are that an applicant must:

1. Be the owner of a home-based business.

2. Have been in current business for at least two years,

3. Be a member of a community, business or women’s association or organization.

The Ruby Slipper Award recipient will be selected by an independent, national judging panel. The application questions include business overview and personal story, leadership of the company, community involvement, the most rewarding aspect of owning a home-based business, the greatest challenge faced by the business owner, and any advice the applicant would give to someone considering starting their own home-based business.

The application fee covers administrative and prize costs. Deadline for applicants is December 1, 2003. The award will be presented at a hot-air balloon ceremony in late January.

All Ruby Slipper Award applicants will receive a free autographed copy of Janet Drez’s book, “Putting The Pieces Together: A Christian Woman’s Guide to a Successful Home-Based Business”.

The winner will receive:

? Round trip airfare to Phoenix, AZ

? One night’s hotel accommodation

? A hot air balloon ride

? Presentation of the Ruby Slipper Award – a hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind ruby slipper created by fabric artist Laurie Fagen of Chandler-based Fagen Designs, herself a home-based business owner.

Getting the Right Business Web Hosting Package

Many entrepreneurs have already recognized the importance of having a presence on the web. Having a land-based business or store is one thing, but managing an effective business site on the Internet is another. Your business site essentially serves as your online store, so it needs to be up and running on the web all the time. Getting the right business web hosting package is very important. Whether your business is already an established one, or has just started out on the web, finding a reliable business web host should be given top priority.

When it comes to finding a web host for your business site, there are several aspects that need pondering on. However, you can do this more effectively if you ascertain first of all the actual needs of your company. For a small business for example, you can forego some of the more sophisticated tools and opt for relatively simpler services. However if you have a bigger company and a wide-based clientele, you need to get the business web hosting package that really works for your enterprise.

The expenses associated with hosting are often a major concern for web entrepreneurs, especially for start-up businesses yet to experience considerable capital growth. While corporate web hosting can be expensive, especially if the needs of your company are big enough, there are now more affordable hosting options for smaller enterprises. Cheap web hosting is offered by a number of companies, where the rates can be as nominal as 1$ per month.

Still, it pays to be more cautious when dealing with affordable business web hosting providers. As much as possible, you need to carry out the necessary research before entrusting your web business and your business site to these inexpensive hosting providers. Make sure that the bandwidth, disk space, and uptime guarantees are exactly what your business needs. Dealing with an unreliable web host can potentially cost your business in the long run, particularly if left unchecked for a considerable amount of time.

If you are left puzzled with the growing number of business web hosting companies cropping up these days, you may read up on reviews or get the feedback of some business owners who are also operating online. Not only will you get an idea on the offerings of these hosting companies, you will also be able to delve further into the background and history of such companies. Thus, it will be easier for you to make the right hosting decisions for your business.

You may visit the websites of hosting companies and browse through their services, guarantees, and even the testimonials provided for by their previous clients. Comparing one hosting provider against another will help you determine the package suitable for your business, whether in budget, control panel tools, bandwidth, or uptime guarantee. Moreover, maintaining a presence on the web is essential nowadays, if you want your business to achieve growth.
