The Host With The Most - How To Choose A Hosting Account

When your getting started in affiliate marketing and
internet marketing in general, your going to need a
hosting account and the following are the things to
look for when deciding which one to go with.

You will need this because although you can send your
affiliate traffic directly to the merchants sales
page, You are only building that merchants list for
the long term and doing nothing for your own long
term success.

What’s the better way?

The better way is to direct traffic to a squeeze page
with an optin form to join your list.

After they join your list you can redirect them to
the sales page of the product your promoting.

Yes, there are free hosting sites and free blogs, but
in the end these may cost you much more since it does
not look very professional and could destroy your
credibility.

Not only that many of the free blog services out
there are only for personal use and do not like you
doing business with them.

Having your own business website means you need a
hosting account.

These are a few things to consider and keep in mind
when choosing your hosting account…

- Choose Linux based
- I recommend cpanel hosting
- Something that comes with Fantastico - this will
allow you to create a Wordpress blog on your domain
at the click of a button. (Wordpress is great for
business because you can customize it with all sorts
of themes and plugins and the search engines love them).
- You want to make sure there customer support is
excellent.
- how many domains can you host? unlimited?
- how many email addresses do they allow?
- What is the uptime statistics?

There are other things to consider if you are more
advanced but these are the things the beginner to
intermediate marketer needs.

You can get all this easily for under 10 dollars a
month.

One Hosting company I recommend is HostGator .

HostGator is Linux based and has the cpanel hosting
with Fantastico. It also lets you host unlimited
domains and they have 24/7 customer support available
when you need it.

It’s also one of the largest.

The Baby plan is all you will need to get started.
That plan goes for only 9.95/mo if you pay month to month.
And you get a discount if you pay in advance.

So do your research and get your website hosted ASAP
so that you can start seeing your website online and
start building your business.
