Is it better to have your web designer host your website, or for you to purchase a hosting package?
I’d like to ensure control over my web site that is being built. Would it be better for me to purchase a hosting package through the same company I purchased my website domain and just provide the log-in information to my web site developer? Or should I just let them host it?
Your website can be hosted anywhere as long as they meet the requirements. If your designer is offering a reasonable price you may want to go with him because they’ll be more familiar with the control panel. Chances are your designer is actually reselling another company’s service. There’s nothing wrong with that if the upstream provider is good and the price is right.
What do you think of this idea for Halloween Horror Nights 2009?
I think Orlando Florida’s Halloween Horror Nights 2009 should have the following attractions.
1. A haunted mall based on Dawn Of The Dead with Ving Rhames
2. A haunted house based on House Of 1000 Corpses.
3. A haunted house based on Tales From The Crypt hosted by the Cryptkeeper himself.
4. A haunted house based on the Saw movie.
5. A haunted house based on Resident Evil.
What do you guys think of this idea, I think it’ll be awesome.
Sounds cool but I think a scarier situation would be if you were strapped to a chair and forced to listen to Celine Dion. (shudders)
I’ve just bought my first website, got it hosted and templated the pages – I’ve never done this sort of thing before and am really stuck on a couple of things. I’m hoping someone can help me! Forgive me if any of these questions are silly… Its only easy when you know…

Who’s a good web host if I want to start an Internet Business?
I’m thinking of starting my own business and would like to use the internet as a marketing tool. The two primary things I would need from a host would be a) a good search engine keyword system (in other words people could type in “mowing”, “dallas”, “texas” in Google and find my business) and b) options to pay the business online using a credit/debit card. Who’s a good web host for this?
Hello,
You’ll have to split the task at hand into two manageable chunks. The first one is to find a good Web host. The second is to either understand and learn search engine optimization (SEO) or hire an experienced SEO specialist that will do that for you.
A good Web host will help you with installing all the software that you need to get your business going including your Website, email addresses (to communicate with potential customers), a shopping cart and an online payment method. A good Web host will even go the extra mile and refer you to respectable SEO specialists that can configure your website so it’s “edible” by Google and therefore your Website will have a much better chance of showing up for those keywords. Be sure to sign up with a fully managed Webhost.
SEO specialists arrange your Website’s code in a way that Google and other search engines can easily index the content and make it available to your potential customers. But be careful not to fall for SEO businesses that pretend to know Google in and out and promise to land your business on the first page for the keywords: mowing dallas texas. That’s a sign you’re dealing with the wrong people / business.
By the way, my name is Joe and I help run two Web hosting businesses here in Houston. I put a link to THE best SEO reference online (prepared by Google itself!). Feel free to get in touch if you have any question or comment.
