Internet Marketing

In today's internet world, it is imperative to have a website for your business. How do you get on the web?

The first step is to purchase a domain name (the website address) from a registrar such as Moniker or Go Daddy. A registrar is an authorized reseller of domain names from a registry. Your domain name needs to communicate to others what you are selling or offering. Since there are so many websites on the Internet, you need to stick out. A .travel domain is a great way of doing this if you are in the travel or tourism industry. Unlike .com, there are still many great .travel names available that will be able to convey the message of your business clear and concisely.

Next, your website needs content. This is the text, pictures, banners, and so on that will appear on the site. The next thing you need is a design layout. Once your site is set up you will also need marketing in order to get visitors!

Finally, your site will need web hosting. This includes somewhere for your site's data to be stored and a way for it to be accessed (transferred from this location to your site visitors' computers). These two things are called storage and bandwidth. So that is why a website host (or web hosting company) is needed. You cannot simply store your site on your own computer, unless you have a dedicated web server (this is a special computer with a super high speed internet connection). This would cost you thousands upon thousands of dollars to purchase and maintain. Spending all that money on hosting your site yourself is impractical. Thus, you need a web hosting company to take care of this for you. (WebHostDirectory)

With a number of webhosting companies on the internet, it is sometimes hard to find the one that offers true cheap and quality webhosting. Before, you began to search for companies that offer cheap webhosting, it is important to know what exactly you are looking for. This includes your site features, internet programming languages, database connectivity features, email addresses, domain name, traffic you expect and many other considerations. (MyContentBuilder)
