Hosting & Website Help

Personally, I went with iPage when I started off my own business. They’re cheap, reliable, and their support is extremely helpful…which helps if you’re just starting out. Their live chat rocks!!

Anyway, make sure you take advantage of coupons as they can give you discounts. I looked around the net, and found out that the most up-to-date coupons aren’t on websites, but rather Twitter streams. I found a guy/girl called "Webhostingd" (just search on twitter) who updates coupon codes DAILY…just follow him while you browse reviews on the net, and then take advantage of his coupon offers. There’s also some tutorial videos in the stream that help you set up WordPress (best way to design a website if you’re new) and explain you how to manage your website with cPanel. Also, I got $450 in free extras when I signed up to iPage through Webhostingd, but the offer is time limited, so I dunno if he still features it. Check it out (link bellow) 🙂

iPage is around $0.15/day, and the cheapest offer I found is $0.09/day with Greenville Hosting. I signed up with Greenville and host my online store there. Support is great, no downtime, reliable, and their support is super friendly…you don’t get the $450 bonus extras you get with iPage though. But if you can live without Google Adwords or Facebook Credits, I’d go with Greenville.

Also, since you want to create a business…both offer various free online shopping cart add-ons! iPage has an anytime money-back guarantee, so signing up is risk free since you can cancel at any time and get your money back for the remaining months.

Here are two free web template sites for website design, you can have a look.

I’d recommend you a few reliable web hosting service providers like hostgator or wowebhosting. You may also search the exact type of web hosting you are looking for on

On these web site you can read reviews and also register a domain or buy a web hosting plan. these site is very informative with reviews on web hosting providers.

in there you can get the Best web hosting Plans at low cost,I hosted my website in there.

I recommend fatcow. It is one of the cheapest and they don’t suck in terms of service. They offer unlimited storage/bandwidth, support mysql, have free domain and most of all they have free site builder. You can design your site here, it may cost you less that hire someone to code it for you.

You didn’t necessarily have to do that, it’s generally easier to get your domain and hosting from the same place, but that’s okay. You could design a web site by yourself or enlist in the help of others. There are ALOT of templates to choose from as well as a lot of qualified designers as well.

If you just want to get started you can try WordPress, Blogger or Tumblr. They are all free blogging sites, you can customize them similar to how you could customize something you design on your own with the exception of the majority of coding already being done.

If you would like to have a typical (not quite as typical anymore) but not -blog format I personally recommend Dreamhost for hosting. There are a discount codes available which help as well (example, the promo code quirky8 will give you one free domain name registration and $50 off 1 year of hosting and $60 off 2 years of hosting.

Hope this helps!

Wait! Before you spend money on all this stuff like design or hosting, do you even know that you have customers? For many new people trying to build businesses on the internet, it turns into a big mistake to build a big fancy site before figuring out if you have customers. There are lots of ways to find out where your customers are and what they actually want so that when you do spend time and money to build a site, you know that it will actually become a business. Check out the LaunchBit Startup Guide. I highly recommend the customer development methods that they teach.

This one is an EASY one to answer. Big Commerce, offer a free 15 day trial, has lots and lots of tutorial videos etc – this is ideal for novices.

If you copy and paste the link below, this will give you free signup after the 15 day trial. Honestly, give it a try!

Try Fatcow web hosting. They are reliable and excellent with their services. You can use free templates from Fatcow. The web host provides stylish and professional ready to use web templates. You just need to customize the web template to suit your taste and needs. There are hundreds of designs to choose from. I can swear by the customer and technical support of Fatcow, very reliable.

If your serious about your web presence, you must be serious about your web hosting. I can say from experience that Host GAtor is it!!! How does a $9.40 Off on your subscription sound to you? I am authorized to give this special discount for limited time. when you sign up use this promo code: geturgator now go and get hosted…

Being a novice you should use http://ezdch.com/sitebuilder because it’s easy you just point-click&type and you get a professional looking design. It is a real good deal since one prices pays for the website and hosting!

Whatever you do, make sure you have a content management system attached your site so you can update it yourself. Otherwise, you will be tied to a web designer for every edit that needs to uploaded via FTP, As a designer, this is good business for me, but can be costly for a small business. I recommend Homestead or WordPress as hosting providers.

There’s a lot to learn and takes time but it’s a lot of fun along the way. These articles wil give you some basic information on what you can expect to encounter.
