Continuing on the features of a web hosting package from the previous posts, it’s now time to talk about the domains. Again we shall use this site’s offerings as an example. For their starter package, they offer 8 sub domains, 1 parked domain, and 1 add on domain. To the novice user, these would simply mean nothing to him except names for his site. Hopefully, this explanantion would help people understand better how they can benefit from these features of a web hosting package.

Subdomain:

To understand subdomain it would be important to understand what a domain is first. Simply put, the domain is the name that a visitor would input into his browser in order to access your site. Foureyessquad.com, mywebsite.com are examples of domains. A sub domain then is a domain that is part of a larger domain. For example, the website’s domain is internet.com. If the site’s administrator would decide to include a gallery, he could use a sub-domain called Gallery.internet.com in order to make it easier for users to access these pages.

Parked Domain:

Explaining a parked domain would be better with this sample. For example your domain is called ball.com. However people may type balls.com and still hope to reach your domain. To circumvent this, you could select a parked domain called balls.com and make it go to the same page as ball.com. This is crucial to ensure that people would would not be able to go to a competing site when they are intending to visit yours.

Addon Domain:

An addon domain is used when you would want to make use of the space provided by a single package for 2 different websites. Again using the starter package of foureyessquad.com, if you think that 2000mb is too much for a single domain, you may want to create another domain that is totally separate from the first one in order to maximize the space.

When people think of webhosting, more often than not, all that they think about is the domain name and enough disk space to upload their websites. As long as they get their “.com” and sufficient disk space to store the site’s files, then they would automatically agree on a web hosting package.

Getting a web host with this simple mentality can lead to inefficient use of web development funds for the company. Before selecting a web host, one thing that the web site owner must consider is the kind of website that they have. They should be able to consider the purpose of their website in order to know their needs when it comes to hosting packages.

Two of the biggest things to consider with regard to the purpose and usage of a website is the website design and of course the amount of visitors and what they would do with the site.

When it comes to the site’s design, the website owner should remember that a multimedia rich (meaning filled with audio, video, and images) site would also need a large amount of data space to store it in. As compared to a more basic site that only has text and some background colors.

Aside from the design, the purpose and usage of the site should also be taken into consideration. If one is running an e-commerce website, they should ensure that their web hosting service is able to take the scripts that they would use in their database as well as to ensure that the web host would always be online so that customer s from all over can visit the site.

As you can see, having a web host for your website is not an easy thing to do. One must be able to make their host match the needs of their websites. Fortunately, we offer flexible packages at competitive prices, that you can take advantage of.

As mentioned in a previous post, search engines are very important in the growth of a business, especially those related to e-commerce and the like. It was even said that “With a good site working hand in hand with a search engine optimization service, the business website would experience more traffic, and hopefully higher revenues.” Because of this, many businesses are asking, “So what exactly is Search Engine Optimization, and how does this service help grow my firm?”

Search engine optimization, or better known by the acronym SEO is an internet marketing strategy that aims either raise the number of people who visit a website through a search engine’s results or try to ensure that those same visitors from search engine’s would turn out to be buyers and not just lookers.

The search engine optimizers, or search engine optimization specialists (the people who do the actual SEO task) have a variety of tools to be able to make sure that the website gets favorable search results.

One of their methods is through editing and studying the content and coding of the company website and transforms it into a more “search engine friendly” version. This could mean removing items which may make the website become too unwieldy for possible clients, as well adding specific key words, or terms that would make search engines rank them higher. There are also other methods such as link building, but all aim to giving a company website a higher place result in a search engine.

It must be kept in mind that search engine optimization is not a onetime thing. It is a process that can take weeks or even months before the company would be able to feel the benefits that it would produce. And maintaining it’s position is another critical thing that a business owner must do because getting on top of the search engine once doesn’t mean that it would stay there forever.  However, despite the seemingly long gestation period, a successful campaign would truly help in driving relevant traffic into a company website.
