Battle Of The Hostings
There are literally thousands of hosting solutions on
the internet right now, from the free ones at www.geocities.com
to the ones who charge you an arm and a leg. After filtering
out the sharks, the copy cats & other crap, finally
I have decided to review two of the best and most complete
hostings package available on this planet. Please note that
these are not the cheapest hostings around but these really
give good value for your money, instead of asking you to
upgrade later for an additional fee. Here is why :
Host 4 Profit is our first contender weighing at 300 Megabytes
disk space and with a traffic limit of 10 Gigabytes per
month. You might think that 300 megabytes is nothing compared
to your hard disk but for doing business on the web, this
should be more than sufficient. Besides being a heavy weight,
you are also going to be quick footed by getting unlimited
pop e-mail accounts and e-mail aliases. You also get unlimited
mailing lists / newsletters and autoresponders which means
being able to utilize the best marketing tool ever, which
is building your own opt-in list which is going to be your
prospective customer base for current anf future product
offers.
Managing Your website is a cinch with the web based control
panel. You can access the comprehensive online support,
your account information, upload / update files via a web
based interface, change your password, manage, add or access
your pop3 e-mail, create mailing list / newsletter, setup
MySQL database, view site statistics reports for your own
analysis or if you use a third party analysis software just
download the access logs, manage frontpage extensions, submit
your site to several search engines automatically, setup
a secure server, setup a web page counter, setup a shopping
cart, setup a search engine for your homepage, access your
instant profit sites, backup your website, schedule nightly
events, view error logs for trouble shooting your site and
you can even design your website from this control panel
!!
Most hosting companies usually just provide the space for
your website and after that you are on your own but Host4Profit
goes further than that by also providing instant plugin
sales letter sites and the corresponding quality products
for you to sell and keep 100% of the margin (Free Resell
Rights).
They also went to the point of providing free membership
to one of the best marketing archives (The Warrior Group)
containing tons of free reports, articles and e-books on
how to succeed online. If you have exhausted the archive
(which is constantly updated), you can take part in the
discussion in one of the best internet marketing forums
(over 30.000 members) available "The Warrior Forum"
which is also included in The Warrior Group Membership.
Once they educate you on marketing online, then they also
provide tools like Complete Ad Tracking Systems to monitor
your marketing efforts, Affiliate Tracking Scripts for tracking
your affiliates if you decide on setting up your own affiliate
program and have thousands of affiliates selling for you
and more.
If you want to become an affiliate to this hosting package,
you can become an affiliate and earn residual income of
US$ 10 / Month for each signups and if you can reach the
target of 500 signups within 6 months, you will get a fully
paid vacation to the Grand Bahamas. How much does all this
cost ? A measly US$ 24.95/Month and payable monthly which
means you can stop anytime you want. WOW !!
This means that besides providing your hosting needs, they
provide your own products to sell with free resale rights
or their own proven product by becoming an affiliate, they
teach you how to market them online or how to create your
own unique products to sell, they get you updated on the
latest marketing tactics in the forum, they give you tools
to market, monitor your ads and everything else needed.
I am wordless..... I suggest that you take a look by yourselves
to see whether the offer is still valid ??
However, the negative points compared to the next hosting
package is that you have to add another US$ 30,-/year cost
for each domain name registered with them and that they
have no money back guarantee. This might be because their
hosting package charges you monthly instead of yearly. Although
their affiliate program is quite simple and straightforward,
the affiliate promotion tools are not as comprehensive as
the next hosting package reviewed below.
Our next contender is Site Build It! This hosting package
is known for their principle of Overdelivering on their
promise. Registering your own domain name is free and already
included in the package. Unlimited space and unlimited bandwidth
is a huge plus for those planning on setting up sites with
huge files like videos etc. Graphic Tools for designing
your own website online is also available. What stands out
among the crowd is the unique marketing tools available
in the form of barinstorming and researching profitable
topics for your site, publishing your own newsletter and
spam checking it first before sending them out and even
checking the rate of newsletters read or opened.
Traffic stats and click analysis are also available. Another
notable aspect is the search engine optimization of your
pages, giving sugestions on how to optimize your pages for
getting the cheapest and biggest traffic of them all from
search engines. Search engines submitting, tracking and
ranking is also mighty useful for evaluating your sites
effectiveness in getting traffic from the search engines.
Pay per click research and mass bidding is perfect for those
with an available budget to embark on this type of targeted
traffic building campaign.
Online help and the newsletter you get periodically also
provides tips on how to market your site and succeed online.
Special tools like link checking and Form building and autoresponder
tools are also readily available, while accessing your e-mail
via the web is also possible via the web based control panel,
among other numerous services available. A new service for
exchanging links with similar themed sites will greatly
increase your link popularity with the search engines.
All in all, this hosting package really focuses on the
needs on building the cheapest, largest, targeted traffic
of them all from the search engines which are of course
how to oversome the trickiest part of promoting your site
to the search engines. How much do you have to part your
hard earned money for this kind of service ? They currently
have two options either you get 15 months hosting for US$
395,- or get 8 months hosting for US$ 249,-. By the way,
they do have a 30 days money back guarantee and will refund
100% of your money. The shocker is that after 30 days, you
can still ask for a refund but will be refunded on a pro-rata
basis meaning only for the remaining months balance. Quite
a guarantee if I might says so myself !! Click here to see
for yourselves.
For those of you who might be interested to become an affiliate
and try to sell their products, they do not just sell hosting
services, but also a multitude of Electronic Books and Tools
like Make Your Site Sell 2002, Make Your Knowledge Sell,
Make Your Price Sell etc. You can also buy these high quality
products for your own usage. Once you join their 5 Pillar
affiliate program which is completely free, then just browse
through their amazingly thoughtful and useful tools for
you to promote their products. You will find no other affiliate
program managed as completely as this.
In conclusion, these two unique hosting packages have their
own unique approach, strengths and also weaknesses. If you
can overlook these weaknesses in exchange for its strengths,
then one of these may be the right solution in taking your
first step to realizing your home based business opportunity.
Now go on and take your best shot !!
