Do you find it really hard to imagine an internet that is completely devoid of useless junk, and everything you would want or need is right at your finger tips. It sounds wonderful, I know and now the search engines of the world believe they can give it to us, but I’m not really so sure. Somehow, since the the dawn of civilization, human beings have been able to find the business, services, and information they need without the use of search engines. So what’s the big fuss all of a sudden. Continue reading
I believe I went on a bit of a rant a little while ago, the problem I had with Google. Well, at least one of the problems, and to be more specific, it had to do with their over reliance on the whole back linking thing. Basically, the whole use of links to determine if a website is to be trusted or not in the eyes of any search engine is an antiquated notion. At least in my mind it is, and so it seems that Google is coming around to the same conclusion. Continue reading
It seems to me, that there are certain things that should be so dead simple that anyone including my dog should be able to do it. And for me, one of those things is web hosting. I mean, c’mon, about ten years ago, I setup my own webserver on an old PC I had kicking around, and ran it pretty successfully for about 3 years. Sure, I was only supporting my own website, but it wasn’t that tough. When you consider, that I knew nothing about web servers to start with. I did a much of reading, installed a version of LAMP – Linux, Apache, MyPHP and PHP and was off to the races. Being the real geek that I am, it was great fun, and I even went so far as to install an email server, and a Samba file server to boot.
But, these days, as much as I would like to it seems that I don’t have time to play with that kind of stuff. I’m too busy running a multitude of web sites, and catering to a number of clients. So, I usually end up looking for the best web hosting I can find online. Believe me, when I say there are plenty of places to choose from. And, for the most part they are pretty good, but there are a few that can drive me nuts. When I first started out looking for web hosting firms, I often took the first cheap web hosting deal I could find. I’ve learned from that lesson, and do a bit more research these days. That’s not to say that good web hosting has to be expensive. It really doesn’t. It’s pretty much a commodity item these days, as computers and the software that runs web servers is actually much faster and cheaper then it used to be.
Just remember, to do your due diligence. But sometimes, you just have to jump in and see how good they really are.
If I had to do it all over again, how would I do it? That’s a great question. I am of course referring to the business of designing, building, promoting, and maintaining websites on the internet. Nothing mystical or anything, just business. Well, the first thing I would suggest, is to save up a bit of money to invest into the business. I think the biggest mistake I made, was trying to start from scratch and do all the work myself. While, it’s true that you can build a decent web design / marketing business that way, it’s going to take you a lot longer.
Because so much of the information you read online, would suggest that you can start with zero dollars, and get all kinds of free web development tools and hosting. Now while there is some truth to that, you still have to be able to do something with those tools. That’s going to take time, and effort on your part. Having a budget, even if it is a small one is going to help you immensely. Even if it’s only five or ten thousand dollars, it will get things going so much more quickly. That may seem like a lot of your thinking of starting for free, but when you consider the costs for starting most businesses, it’s a drop in the bucket.
Whatever you do, don’t spend that money on someone telling you how to run a web business. That information is good supply around. And it is free. While it’s true, there is plenty of expensive and bad information online, if you look around long enough, you’ll find the good stuff. Do however spend the money on things like outsourcing work, and buying up existing web properties. That kind of stuff is much more tangible, and has a definite payback.
