The Advantages Of Reseller Web Hosting
Comments off · Posted by Domain Express in Reseller Hosting, web hosting
Reseller web hosting permits an account owner to take the hard drive space and bandwidth allotted to his or her account and let other parties use it for their own websites. The original account owner essentially becomes a middle man who buys space and bandwidth at a wholesale price and sells sections of it for retail. These transactions are common among certain types of individuals and companies involved in web commerce.
This sort of transaction begins when someone rents an account with a dedicated server from a standard hosting company. They acquire permission to resell or share their account. There may or may not be limits on how much space can be resold.
The typical reseller is an independent web developer or a web design company. They offer hosting space to customers as an extra part of their business transactions. Web entrepreneurs also use this opportunity to earn money as they start a business on the web. They rent the space and bandwidth that they are not using to provide an income for a new company.
Getting involved in reseller web hosting does not require the reseller to know much technical information about hosting services. This is why it is such a popular alternative, especially for new web businesses whose focus is something other than web design. The space that they sell is governed by the original web host, and the same services and control panels. In some cases, interested resellers are able to create custom control panels and other services for their clients. However, they remain simply as providers, and are not responsible for maintenance. All issues with hardware or software, as well as connection problems, are the domain of the host site from whom the reseller is renting space.
Reseller web hosting provides a great opportunity for everyone involved. Web hosts want to sell as much space as possible. The reseller may not need the space that these hosts sell, even in their most limited packages. The ability to sell off portions of this space makes it affordable for them. It also enables people with even fewer resources to buy small chunks of bandwidth and space in order to start their businesses.
Web hosting services are those which allow any kind of companies or individuals to open up their own personal website. With the help of these service providers they get the space and connectivity on World Wide Web either by owning it or on lease. You can buy these services for any of your commercial use as such. May be you can just put up some advertisement which is plainly of some single page or else a huge bulk of space required for your complete business workout. There are many such service providers available worldwide and at times some can even offer you space and connectivity to the internet for those servers which do not even locate in their data centre as such.
Many companies will be there who will be offering cheap web hosting services to you but beware of such providers as they come with a lot of faults in them then. The service has to be of excellent quality with good speed which has to be your main criteria while selecting one. Since visitors are always in a hurry they will definitely not wait for your website to get downloaded completely. Hence your website will just get ignored by many because of the slow speed rate. The major factor that you should look for is that they should offer you nothing less than 99.9% uptime.
You should then buy a domain name for your web site. You need to register for this from the required providers and then your proposal will go for a duplicity check and then will be finally get approved after passing through a lot of official rules and regulations as required. You can even buy some cheap domain names if you are a first timer. After catching enough traffic you can think of getting a unique and expensive one then.

Combining Web Hosting and Domain Name Registration
Comments off · Posted by Domain Express in Domain Name, Domain Names Registration, web hosting
The world of web hosting and domain name registration may seem large and overwhelming if you haven’t put together too many websites. Or it may just seem like more hassle than you have time for when your focus is on the day-to-day operations and success of your company itself.
This is understandable! Something that can save you time is choosing a UK hosting company that also offers domain names services in addition to the hosting itself. This is advantageous for two main reasons:
Firstly, it may very well save you money by buying both services together. It’s just like your internet provider or phone company: you will generally pay less for each individual service if you buy them together. As an added bonus, some web hosting companies even offer free domain names when you choose to host your site with them, which saves you even more money.
Secondly, it makes it easier for you. If you buy domain names from one company and host with another, you have to be in charge of transitioning domain name access from one company to the other. But if you buy a domain name through your UK hosting company, they’ll do it all for you. Less hassle, less time.

Twitter + Domain Name + Website Content = A Strong Package
Comments off · Posted by Domain Express in Domain Name, Online Marketing, Successful Website, web hosting
You’re probably wondering: “What does Twitter have to do with my domain name or your website content?” The simple answer is this: separate elements of your online presence should not just relate back to your business, but should relate to each other.
Each of these three things plays a different role in the success of your website and your web hosting experience.
- Domain name is an important initial draw to the website: it sums up what the site is about.
- Website content fleshes out what you have to offer: it fills in the details and provides useful information.
- Twitter (and other social networking) builds the relationship: it’s a way to reach out to customers, and to let them reach out to you.
When you buy domain names (or receive free domain names from a UK hosting company, which some do offer), take a step back to make sure all of the elements of your company’s online presence will be aligned. For example, you should buy a domain name that clearly and succinctly relates to the content the website will contain. Your Twitter handle should be a close match to your domain name. And the things you Tweet about should be related to the things your website content addresses.
This may sound obvious, but you’d be surprising how many companies’ web presence are “all over the place” – be smart by thinking ahead and presenting a cohesive brand in everything you do, both online and off.

Comparing Web Hosting Companies: Does Age Matter?
Comments off · Posted by Domain Express in web hosting
While venture capitalists may want to take a gamble on a new, upstart company, that’s not the best approach to take when selecting a web hosting partner for your business or personal website.
The age of a UK hosting company isn’t the only factor you should base your decision on, but it is an important component. Age tells you several things about a company:
- It must offer products/services that are worth its prices, or it would not continue to remain profitable.
- It excels at client/customer relations, or it would have earned a poor reputation and gone out of business.
- The company’s experience means they already know what they are doing and are not ‘figuring it out as they go’ – new customers can expect polished service and organised, professional behavior.
In addition, an established company has the flexibility of personnel, finances, and facilities to offer additional services that may benefit customers and build a strong customer-web host relationship.
For example, a new company may only have just the number of servers they need, with little space or budget flexibility to add anything else until they earn more money.
But a web hosting company who has been in business for years can expand their offerings, providing domain name registration, free domains, email hosting, and a strong collection of support and security services.
So while age isn’t the only thing that matters, choosing a web hosting company with years of experience tends to bring along many advantages that do matter quite a bit.

Can I Buy Email Hosting Separate From Web Hosting?
Comments off · Posted by Domain Express in Email Hosting, web hosting
Email hosting is an important subset of the web hosting business. If you are going to do any business online, then a website is a very good idea: it provides a central location for basic information on what your business does and how to contact you.
But not everyone wants a website, and that’s fine if it works well for their business not to have one. But if you ever send any business-related emails, then email hosting, at the very least, is something you really ought to consider.
Free email addresses (such as from Gmail, Yahoo, and the like) are fine for personal use. But if you got an email from a business partner from a free address, how much confidence would you have in their company?
With email hosting, you simply buy a domain name and we use our web hosting services to set up anywhere from 1-50 email addresses at that domain.
So instead of “Businessname@gmail.com” you can have “Owner@businessname.com”, “sales@businessname.com”, and “support@businessname.com” – the possibilities are endless.
If domain names and domain registration sound complicated, don’t worry. As a UK hosting company of more than a decade, we’ve worked with plenty of clients like yourself. If you’re interested in email hosting, contact us.
Of course, email hosting can certainly be paired with web hosting for a robust website. We just focused on email alone in this post so that customers understand they do not have to sign up for a whole website to take advantage of professional email addresses for their company.

A Word on Websites
Comments off · Posted by Domain Express in Domain Name, Domain Names Registration, Web Host, web hosting
As a business owner, you know it’s a good idea to have a website. Perhaps you’ve looked through domain names, read about web hosting, and maybe even gone through the domain name registration process and hired a UK hosting company. You may have picked out a template, put some information up, and got your site to go ‘live’.
But it’s important to take a step back and make sure you are doing things for the right reasons and going about it in a way that will actually benefit your business. Don’t buy a domain name and set up a site just because you think you’re supposed to have one. Websites aren’t valuable for the sake of being websites – they’re valuable because of the function they fulfill, for the role they play, and for the value they offer to your customers.
Think of it this way: your website is your business’ online presence. It needs to give customers a sense of what your business is like and provide useful information to them, even if it’s just as basic as a list of service you provide along with business hours and contact information.
There are plenty of ways to go about building the website itself: you can buy domain names directly, or receive free domain names from a company who provides your web hosting. But before you get too involved in the building process, step back and make sure that your goals for the website match your goals for the business, and that you stay true to who you are throughout each step of the process.

Will you buy domain name rights to several similar domains and direct all of them to your primary domain? Do you prefer cheap domain names registration, or will you spring for a more expensive domain that will benefit your business in the long run?
If your “dream domain” is already registered, you’ll be faced with the question of whether to register an alternate version of it that includes special characters. Including special characters in domain name registration is something that some people recommend against, but others advocate. Here are the basics of what you need to know about this strategy:
- The only characters allowed in domain name registration are letters, numbers, and the “-“ character. Nothing else (such as _ ‘ ? : or an empty space) is allowed.
- Advantages of including “-“ between words is that it lets you register variations of successful domains, including popular keywords that are already taken.
- Advantages are that customers may forget the characters and end up visiting a competitor’s site instead of yours when they attempt to return.
