Did some reach in the scandinavien countries how things looked on the hosting area. In Sweden there where alot of companies with both the shared hosting and dedicated. Danmark which is half as big, had a couple of ok companies such as One Webhotel and Surftown (see more DK companies here). In Norway there where next to none local companies, mostly the Swedish and Danish companies has most of the companies (see webhotell tester). And then Finland… There where like none there? I guess people use USA / UK based hosting companies there. Very strange.

No Business is Small Enough to Have a Web Site

This is often the concern of many entrepreneurs starting their own family business. My answer is simple. A website can be your very first distribution channel for your products. Never in the history of man has the opportunity to get a worldwide market as quickly as it is today with the Internet.

The only caution to worry about is: will you be able to meet the demands in case your product becomes popular? Rather than looking at that as a threat, it’s best to plan ahead and design your business around how to meet a growing demand. With a good web hosting service, a fully search optimized website , a linked blog and social networking site and a diligent web administrator who can maximize his web presence, that is sure to happen.

When Backlinks Backfires

You’ve must have heard about back linking as one of the most effective SEO methods to get a high Google page rank. Back linking is quite simple when you think about it. But it’s the doable part that can be an uphill challenge. You have to ask the other site to link to your site with the keywords you want. Easier said than done. And there are two things to remember (source clearsense sökmotoroptimering)

• Always review your back linking websites if they are still in existence. Regular site visits shouldn’t heart. The last thing you want is to have a back link from a site that no longer exists.

• Make sure you are back linked to a website that has not been banned by Google or has its page ranked lowered. You won’t get far if you do.

Dedicated or Shared Hosting?

Deciding which to get should be easy. If you’re getting a lot of traffic as your site is getting popular, you need a dedicated hosting solution. If you have a lot of dynamic php content that hogs memory and bandwidth, you need to be hosted separately. Or if you can’t afford any level of downtime that might be caused by one of the sites you are sharing with, then you need a dedicated server.

A good shared hosting service is about $10 a month, while a dedicated service starts at around $70. If you’re running a commercial site that generates revenues for you, don’t get cheap. You will need more flexibility and control, greater bandwidth and resources in a dedicated solution than you can ever get otherwise. Just as a WebRec Webbhotell in Sweden says, dedicated server is mostly for solutions that can’t afford to loose uptime because other shared hosting users crash the whole server with crappy scripts. Speed and uptime is the most important dedicated advantages.

Getting a More Robust CMS Security with Secure Live

Nothing upsets a web host administrator than having to deal with security problems on its content management system for its clients. Content is always a major target for cyberspace hackers. This becomes a real headache when content contains sensitive data like credit card or social security numbers.

Enter Secure Live. It’s a mix of software tools with real-time monitoring facility that can make life easy for securing content-rich websites you are hosting. Though aimed at securing Joomla websites, Secure Live also offers modules for open source based applications. This is not an all-inclusive security package and is expensive besides. But with what it offers, it is sure to be worth every penny.

Getting your Business Logo Right Online

The wisdom hasn’t eluded big businesses with millions of dollars exchanging hands when creative agencies design brand logos for various large companies. From airlines to apparels, designing the right logo has always merited special budget allocation. And so should small businesses online. Certainly not in the same magnitude as what California-based Landor and Associates might ask, but the point is, to allot sufficient time, resources and brain power to get your business or brand logos right.

Make your logos unique, simple and memorable. Everyone knows the Nike logo or the GAP logo. Nothing extraordinary, but they bring memorable imagery to latch on the product. That means letting the consumer get a handle on the logo to mean only one thing – your product.
Like when you see a Nike logo, even without the name, you know right away it’s a Nike. Online logos are actually easier to execute as a simple graphics tool will do. The key is spending the time, effort and some bucks to get to it done right, preferably with a professional logo designer.

Using a Good Graphics Editing Tool

If you are starting out to design and develop your own website, apart from knowing HTML or just use those designing tools that make composing web pages a non-programming effort, you need a good graphics editing tool to spice up your design.

While there are free ready-made graphics you can download, as well as hosting sites that offer some graphics rendering tools to customize a template web design, nothing beats designing your own graphics.

I’ve used a lot, starting with JASC Paint Shop Pro in the early days and finally settled to Adobe Photoshop. Even their older version is just fine and a bargain these days. If there’s one tool a web designer can’t do without, it’s a graphics editing tool. And Photoshop is a favourite among designers out there. What’s your favourite?

What’s The Right Domain Name for a Web Hosting Company?

Adam — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 08:52:14 +0000

For purposes of getting your online presence search-optimized, the best is always to have your main keyword in your domain name. Selling apparels online? Why not a name like “apparel.com?” So if you’re web hosting, the best name should have “web hosting.com.” The only problem is that the name has been registered as early as 1993 by some anonymous techie with an excellent foresight.

There are other names that are sure to get top rank on Google, like webhost.com or webhostsolutions.com. But they’ll cost. Some are for sale at around $1,500 to get the rights to the name. If that’s cheap for you, go ahead and buy it. Otherwise, feel free to chime in what you think are good names for a web hosting site.
