Internet Marketing For Newbies

I have two different hosting companies. The hosting company that this blog is on, I would NOT recommend to anyone, the other hosting company, Host Gator, I can not save enough good things about, but I’ll try.

Hosting companies are not all equal. This blog is on xxx (if you are on my newsletter list, you’ll know which company it is) and has NO cPanel. Just about everything I want to do I have to submit a request for. Many of my WordPress plugins do not work here.Now when I call they do respond fairly quickly and I can almost always get someone on the support phone.

Contrast this with Host Gator. Host Gator has a cPanel which puts ME in total control of what happens on my site. WordPress goes in seamlessly and all the WP plugins I’ve tried so far have worked. I pay one flat fee ($9.99) and I get UNLIMITED domains on this account.

Now if you only have one domain then you could get away with the $4.95 plan. But if your reading this then your interested in IM so you be looking at 30 to 100 more or less domains per year, all depending on how you focused your business. For $9.95 you can get the baby account which will handle all these domains for this one low price.

I was on the phone with tech support for Host Gator today because I was having problems with two of my domains. When I typed in http://www.MyDomain.com it would change to http://MyDomain.com (no www). This worked fine until I tried to get Google to see my sitemaps. Google wanted to see the www, otherwise it gives error messages (404) because it could not find the page.

Tech support was fast at answering the phone and solved the problem quickly. It turned out the problem was in WordPress. In the setting tab it listed the domain without the www so all I needed to do was type in the www and Google was happy.

Bottom line, Host Gator was designed with Internet Marketers in mind and I highly recommend you use them for your hosting company. Host Gator has several hosting planes, but this is the one I would recommend. Once you get larger you might want to upgrade. Check out Host Gator here for all the details on their plans. I’ll gust list a few things here for Baby account.
