Web Host Review Site

Subscribe to our Business Entrepreneur RSS feed for more great small business ideas!

From time to time we will review websites that we think will be helpful to our readers. Today, I found a great site for those looking to compare web hosts. On their site they site,

To date we have now helped over 28,500 website owners find the best cheap, affordable web hosting which is reliable, feature packed and offer top quality support.

The name of the site is TheTop10BestWebHosting.com, which is a free guide that reviews the the best 10 web hosting providers including godaddy user reviews. What we really like about the site is how comprehensive the reviews are.

Each review contains rank and information about reliability, price, customer support, features, control panel, ease of use and server up time. The other nice part about the site is the depth of their user reviews. Take a look at an example: just host user reviews. All in all we think that Top10BestWebHosting.com is worthy of mention to our readers who are interested in exploring web host providers and want to get reliable advice on the myriad of choices.

One thing that we liked (and separates this site from other review sites is how the methodology they use when conducting their reviews).

We search the web for the best website hosting providers and rate their shared hosting plans based on reliability, cost, uptime, support, control panel and ease-of-use. We have multiple hosting accounts with each web hosting company we come across and regularly update our reviews and rankings chart to keep you up-to-date with the top web hosting providers and how each host is performing. Feel free to read all our free hosting reviews and choose the best web hosting service to suit your websites hosting needs.

An added benefit to the site is they feature a host of related articles including titles like:
Why is SEO important?, How to switch to a new web host?, What is bandwidth?, Can I have email address with my web hosting provider?. The articles are well written and informative.

Let us know what you think and if you would like to see more information like this in the future?

Web Marketing Strategies

Filed Under (Marketing) by Jeff Stripp on 10-02-2010

Businesses depend on web marketing strategies in order to increase the number of prospects, the traffic level and the brand awareness for both company and products. Most of the time the offline strategies are converted and adapted so as to correspond to Internet promotional needs, and this is the way that actually led to the appearance of Internet marketing in the first place.

The web marketing strategies that you implement should rely on a good promotional plan that makes use of web design in the most efficient way possible. Email marketing and the use of responsible opt-in email lists are also a major support for the case. From the numerous web marketing strategies that developers prefer, we can mention:

-search engine optimization for increasing page ranks with top search engines;

-article marketing or the publishing of web content related to your business;

-blogging and interacting with customers;

-writing and publishing press releases online;

-participation to affiliate, reseller and associate programs;

-professional analysis of business performance and the thorough study of the competition.

There is a number of factors that influence the way you handle all the above. Web marketing strategies should be chosen starting from the importance of the website for your business, the nature of the business, the specificity of the products, the available budget and the manager’s personal preferences.

It is actually advisable to create a balanced marketing mix to include those web marketing strategies that best correspond to your situation. For example, even if most of your efforts are directed towards Internet promotion, there’s no harm in placing some traditional ads in local newspapers or in magazines, also guiding prospects towards online transactions. There are many companies that work as online businesses, yet, they invest heavily in traditional advertising too, including radio and TV promotion.

Pay attention to your preferences when you select the web marketing strategies that define your business most accurately. For example, if you don’t like spam, do not rely on email marketing too much. Although you would be using opt-in emails, you have to create your newsletters very well so as to make them appealing to the reader.

Even if email marketing will not convert into one of the major web marketing strategies, at least it will remain at the tool level. And it can have a pretty nice contribution to the way you promote your business. The same principles apply to all the other strategies that you use to increase business exposure.

    Here is a short list of CPM Networks (the cost, per 1000 people reached, of buying advertising space in a given media vehicle). You can register with these advertising companies and submit your banner ads, text ads and other forms of online ads. Once you are registered they will manage the placement and rotation of your ads on their network sites. You pay some sort of fee for the number of times your online ad is displayed.
