You Host Your Work From Home Website

If you have - or are wanting to start - any kind of work from home business then you have probably given some thought to your home business web hosting.

Or maybe you haven't.

It just doesn't make sense to have a home based business without a website. You probably already know that. But before you jump in and create a bunch of images and sales messages for the web you might want to slow down and give some thought to how you will put together your site. And one important question you will have to answer is where you will host it.

It may not be immediately apparent to you but how you make a website and where you host it are closely related questions. The one greatly affects the other. So begin by answering the question...

How Important Is The 'Where' of Home Business Web Hosting?

Does it really matter where you host your work from home website? Well, it depends on what you mean. Are you concerned about...

• Bandwidth?
• Security?
• Storage space?

... or any of the other technical issues of website hosting?

Then no... It doesn't. Not really. There are thousands of companies that will provide you with a secure storage space to put your website. It will be safe. You will have everything you need... technically.

But if you are making a website that will help feed your family, then the 'where' of home business web hosting matters a great deal.

There is nothing to building a website - from a technical point of view. There are plenty of simple tools. There are plenty of places to host it. But making a website that draws prospects and converts them into paying customers... That is a horse of a different color.

Avoid the Free Hosting Companies

There are free and very cheap places to host your site. But you are building a business. The free and very cheap options will not give you all you need. And they may end up costing you a whole lot more than some other services that are apparently more expensive.

Why? Because there are a lot of tools you will need to make a website that can help you grow your business. Buying all these tools separately can be expensive. And many of the tools you buy won't be as good as the tools you can get bundled together at a much lower cost... Especially if these bundled tools are included in the site hosting fee.

Why would the bundled tools be better?

A website hosting company that has a long-term vision knows that your success benefits their company. As long as you are successful you will continue to pay the hosting fee year after year. By providing guidance and creating a full suite of tools the hosting company is ensuring its success.

Plus - bundled tools are well integrated with the technology supported by the hosting company.

Make Your Hosting Decision Part of a Long-Term Plan

Consider your home business web hosting a major decision. You are going to spend a lot of time building a successful site. Don't short-change yourself with a discount website hosting service.

Having said that... You can get the best of the best for less than $1.00 a day. So you are not talking about a major financial investment. So choose wisely.

A home business web hosting company that understands niche marketing is your best investment. With the tools and guidance they provide you can effectively target the niche most suited for your success. Without defining a specific niche you are much less likely to succeed.

Do yourself a favor. Do your research. Make your choice of hosting services part of your overall blueprint for building a successful niche website.
