Page 19 - Profit From Niche Marketing In The Modern World

There are many companies offering web hosting accounts from as little as $3 a month. Some of these
companies offer a free domain name with their hosting but we recommend that you go for a name from
godaddy or namecheap as it is cleaner.

Think long term here. You are going to be creating a valuable asset. A successful niche website can sell
for a great deal of money and you do not want to be involved in a dispute with your web hosting
company if you want to sell your website.

Here are some important things to look out for with a web host:

• The monthly cost

• The location of the web servers (e.g. USA, UK, Europe, Asia etc)
• How many domain names can you host?
• How much disk space will you get?
• How much bandwidth (Internet traffic) will you get?
• Does the web host have WordPress one click install software?

OK let’s take a look at each one of these:

The cost – web hosting can start from $1 a month and rise to hundreds a month. We suggest that you
choose a web host that will offer all the things in the above list for around $10 - $15 a month
Web server location – if you believe that the majority of your audience will be in the United States for
example then it is best to choose a web host with servers there. Your website will load faster for your
potential customers which is very important.

How many domain names – if your web host will only allow you to add one domain name to your
hosting then if you want to create another website you will have to purchase another web hosting
package. Look for web hosts that offer several or even unlimited domain names.

Disk space – when you create a website you will add a number of files to your web hosting servers. A
lot of web hosts these days offer unlimited disk space so look out for this.

Bandwidth – some web hosts will limit the amount of bandwidth that you can use each month. So look
for web hosts that offer unlimited bandwidth.

One click installation of WordPress – this is very important. A lot of web hosts will have a feature
where you can install the free WordPress blogging platform on your domain name with one click of
your mouse. You need this as you are going to use the WordPress blogging platform to create your
website (this is different to a free website at WordPress.com).

We recommend hostgator.com for your web hosting. They have been around for years and are used to
dealing with Internet Marketers. They have different packages available that offer unlimited domains,
one click install of WordPress, unmetered or unlimited bandwidth and disk space and USA servers for
around $10 a month.

There are lots of other good web hosts available that can provide you with a similar deal. Search for
web host comparisons in Google to learn more. Always go for a web host that has the one click
WordPress install feature.
