Tips on choosing a good web host

Being a freelance web designer I get a chance to experience many web hosts and till now I have seen almost every big host. From cheap shared web host to dedicated server hosting, I have tested all and found that it’s not always necessary that a host which have costly plans are going to offer you an excellent service. However in case you are looking for cheap host, chances are more that you may get a bad host so you will have to choose after some deeper research but if you are willing to pay more for web hosting then you can go for any popular host without thinking much and you should get a decent service and support. While talking of support, you should choose a host which offer good support to their customers. This is also true for cheap host. If you are buying a cheaper plan, then also you should get an equally good support just like a customer is getting with premium plans. If you are new to website stuff then you should always ask someone who is experienced in these things or simply look for reviews online. Online reviews can not always be true and can be false as well! If you want some honest web hosting reviews then you should look on hosting and tech related forums where people have discussed their experiences and problems related to their web host. Now you will get a clearer picture and you should be able to sort out bad host from good ones.

Recently one of my client who is using a dedicated server plan for his website had his site down for whole week and all because of bad hosting support. He called me several times for but I could do anything since the problem was from hosting side and hosting guys were just too lazy to fix things up. So what I am trying to say here is that a good support is a must to look for when choosing a host, other wise you may experience problems. No one wants his website to be down for several days. To ensure that the web host you are going to choose does offer good support, you can also read web hosting articles where you will also find some good tips and further details on how to choose a web host. Remember that all the hard work you do for choosing a web host is one time pain and then you can host your site peacefully which is really worth the time you spend in choosing the web host.

Awesome article directory

I have been using many article directories till now to get articles for my sites or academic purposes. I was satisfied but always looking for a better article directory to get more quality articles and then I found web-articles.info. It’s a cool article directory where one can find great articles on many topics and we can also submit our own articles there. Like for my assignment, I had to write a paragraph on MS office and I easily found a good article on Microsoft Office. I was delighted how easily I was able to get a great article which was exactly what I wanted and got good marks for it.

Not only for academic purposes, articles found in article directory are of great use for webmasters who find it tedious to write content for their websites. Even I had a hard time filling up the space with proper text content but know since I know about article directory; I can get suitable articles in seconds. MAC related articles come very handy for a person like me who is a PC user and don’t know anything about MAC, when I have to write something about MAC, rather than writing crap stuff I just search at article directory site and get some quality content.

Another benefit that I would like to mention that not only simple articles, you can get some pretty serious ones like Customer service information and other related articles too. It really makes life easy as these articles are suppose to be longer and carry every fine details which is tough to write. When people use articles from any free article directory, credit is give to the author of the article which is in form of name and link to author site. So by submitting your own articles, you can get famous and link backs to your site too which is a very useful thing from SEO point of view and the traffic boost you get is also a plus point.

Bounceweb Web Hosting

From few days I was looking for a low price bigger hosting plan to host a big website. Now as the site will be new so it won’t make revenue few months. Spending a lot of money on Shared Web Hosting every month is not a good idea so I was looking for a low monthly payment basis hosting plans. With a little search I found many sites with as low as 5$ per month boldly written on the homepage. I was excited but as I looked more in details, I found that it such low price was only if I pay one year in advance. This doesn’t sound well. I saw the same story everywhere but then found Bounceweb Web Hosting where things were different and I was getting 2GB space for just $6.95 per month and no advance payment of things like setup fee etc were required. This plans also had FFMPEG feature which no other host provide in shared plans. Fantastico with over 50+ one click install scripts also comes handy. I’ll be using this host now and recommend this hosting to everyone. Client Testimonials tells how satisfied their customers are and they say that you get replies to your emails within 30 minutes which is amazing, other host take their own sweet time to reply emails.

There are so many websites that almost whatever subject you think, there is a website on it. Some popular topics have lots of sites and many of them are major ones and if you decide to make one such website of your own and get something out of it then you have to beat your competitors. If not beat then at least you will want your website to come up in search results and on keywords which are most searched for your website niche. Like for example I have a blog on gadgets and I have many big competitors too who are already well ranked and indexed in search engines. In this case I need a search engine optimization (SEO) for my gadget blog and some marketing too. This job requires great skill and lots of stuff need to be done which means there is a need of professional now. One can get in tough with services like rocket spider which has got excellence in providing SEO, internet marketing and many other useful services. I would recommend this service to anyone who wants his website to perform better. They have got a nice website which was recently re-done and now they have added rocket spider blog which is updated daily and one can find interesting news and useful content there.

Make bucks from every visitor

Yesterday I was talking with my client on having some more affiliate for the site as we can’t rely on the earning of just one affiliate program. Also the PPC program don’t guarantee any fixed income as the click ratio is not the same always and can never be assumed. One of his site was getting good traffic and few of them were new so not having much viewers’ so I recommended him Net Audio Ads. This is a totally different way of advertising in which you get paid for every visitor of your site and does not require any click. Millions of websites are successfully using this affiliate program and making profit. In this program, the ads are in the form of short audio clip of 5 seconds which is played when a visitor comes to your site. This audio ad has one more benefit to the owner of site that visitor don’t leave your site and go to advertiser site like it happens in text link and banner ads. Banner ads also consume precious space on your site and spoil the looks. If you are joining this wonderful affiliate program before 1st of Feb. then you are also eligible for receiving share in affiliate revenue. It’s free to join so hurry up and don’t miss this great earning opportunity.

5 second audio ads

For many years I have been trying with many affiliate networks to generate good revenue from my sites but only few were satisfactory while most of them were almost useless to join. Few days back I came to know about Net Audio Ads which promise to pay for every visitor of my site. Isn’t it great? Other website ads which include link ads and image banners not only make your site layout cluttered but also pay you only for the clicks that they detect from your website. In the case of Net Audio Ads, a 5 second audio ad is played when someone visit your site. If you feel that placing this ad may be a nuisance for viewers as they will always hear the ad, but you are wrong. Ads will be played only after some gap and returning visitor will not be bombarded with same ad again and again. You can also opt for a 30 second ad instead of 5 second which will obviously pay you more. So this is how you are getting paid for every visitor. Many big companies are advertising thru this medium of audio ads. Just like any other web ads, you will only require to place a small JavaScript code which will crawl thru your site content and then deliver ad accordingly. This is a good money making opportunity so make sure you don’t miss it. Its free to join offer is only there for few more days so hurry up.
