Hosting Services
Once you obtain your internet property, you need a place to host it. Once hosted, you will then upload scripts, splash and marketing pages, as well as create for yourself a pop3 mailbox. In order to do all this, you need a hosting package that provides a control panel and generous bandwidth.
Control Panel
There are several types of control panels. Cpanel and Pleske are among the most widely offered by hosting companies. The scripts in your WorkDigital Work Essentials and Go Digital sections were all written for the cpanel environment, so it is recommended you host with a company that provides cpanel. Cpanel is relatively easy to manage and we will hold training on that topic. This is a quick tutorial on how to set up your pop3 email on cpanel.
Bandwidth
As you will be doing a lot of marketing and driving massive amounts of traffic to your domain/s and website/s, you need to use a service that provides generous bandwidth. If you run over your bandwidth allotment, your domains become suspended. If you host with a service in which it takes days for them to respond to support requests, you could end up with your sites being down for a considerable amount of time.
Support
Immediate and responsive Customer Support is critical to your online business. Think of your domain registrar and hosting company as an unseen partner in your internet business. Below is a list of service providers who provide outstanding customer service as well as live and interactive, personalized support:
