Web Hosting Is More Than Just Bandwidth

Building a Web Site? You Need to Host it Somewhere... But Where?

You're inundated with Web hosting providers -- the choices can be overwhelming. Promises of cheap, quick, and easy tempt you at every turn. Here's what you need to ask yourself.

Is your goal to build a profitable Web business, or do you want to just "put up a site"?

Regular Web hosting is fine for the latter, but to build a business, you need more.

Think of it...

There are so many Web sites competing with you. How do you make your site stand out and be found at Google and the other Search Engines?

How do you build a professional, popular, and profitable business like these people have?

The Answer Is Not In The Web Hosting

Your Web site should be more than just a Web site. It should get found and build free, targeted traffic, your traffic. If you don't own your traffic, you don't own a business online.

In short, your Web site should drive business. Most Web sites merely exist. They don't generate income. To be blunt, they fail.

couple image There is no need to worry about all the technical specifics of Web hosting companies. They are all uniformly excellent these days.

Don't fall for "cheap, quick, easy." Success takes work. The key is to focus 100% upon your business, instead of wasting 95 out of every 100 hours upon technical issues (HTML, CGI, FTP, SEO, etc.).

How?

Through a Web hosting package that provides a proven process and a tech-free, complete set of site-brainstorming-building-hosting-and-marketing tools. A combination that delivers thriving, profitable businesses.

Only one Web hosting provider does that. SiteSell.com offers you Site Build It! ("SBI!"), Web hosting that works. And the proof, as they say, is in the pudding...

Look for track records of success as you investigate where to host your Web site. As you scour possible providers, the best you will ever find is a few well-chosen testimonials.

Compare their proof (if any) to SBI!'s documented, verifiable proof. One example... 62% of SBI! sites end up in the top 3% of ALL Web sites on the Net...

Alexa Ranking

Summary of Results

  • 35% of SBI! sites ranked in the top 1% of all sites (i.e., their Alexa Traffic Rank was in the Top 560,000, higher than 99% of all sites on the Web).
  • 53% were in the top 2%
  • 62% scored in the top 3%.

Does It Make A Difference Where You Host Your Site?


Yahoo!, Verio, 1&1, or AOL? Which one? It simply does not matter. They are all the same. They all deliver...

  • 99.99% uptime
  • high bandwidth allowance
  • high storage numbers, and
  • near zero percent success rates.

Your success does not lie in the host. It's in the process and tools. It's in your understanding how to succeed, and then executing.

In other words...

It matters how your Web site is hosted, not where.

It matters that you have 1,000+ visitors per day, not whether "uptime" is 99.99% or 99.999%.

It matters that you succeed. And that is all that matters.

How is Site Build It! Different?

Web hosting is the easy, generic part. But Site Build It! guides you through a proven process that works together with all the tools at exactly the moment you need them. Nobody else in the world does that.

Standard Web hosting is too complicated. SBI! makes the technology disappear so you can focus on building your business. Web hosting itself is the least important part of the package, but it is included, and it is top-notch.

Your success is the most important part! And that's included, too. Guaranteed.

Why Is Google Worth Billions?

Google is worth billions of dollars because 99% of Web sites must advertise to generate traffic. Not you. You are going to build your own traffic...

Traffic that likes and trusts you, believes in you, tells their friends about you, and buys from you.

The "cheap-quick-easy" message is, in fact, not so cheap. $3/month gets you a Web site. But if no one ever sees it, it costs you thousands of dollars worth of your time. And then, thousands more advertising on Google.

Instead, own your own traffic, like these successful SBI! owners.

Net Result?
SBI! Does More Than Host Your Site...
It Builds Your Business

MySQL and IBM integrate databases



MySQL and IBM have announced a joint technology and reseller agreement to bring support for the MySQL open source database to the IBM System i business computing platform.
The two companies will work together to offer the MySQL Server for i5/OS, the flagship operating system for System i, and they plan to deliver IBM DB2 for i5/OS as a certified MySQL storage engine on the System i platform.
This will allow System i customers to implement online and transactional MySQL applications while storing all data in a single, easy-to-manage DB2 database.
In addition, MySQL Enterprise subscriptions - a comprehensive offering of MySQL database software, services and support - will be made available to IBM clients worldwide through IBM's reseller network and System i sales team. Financial terms of the agreement have not been disclosed.



"This deal will make thousands of open source MySQL and PHP applications available to System i clients, helping them respond more quickly to business needs as they arise," said Mark Shearer, general manager for IBM System i.

VIPeers Intoduces Free BitTorrent Hosting




Today, VIPeers has launched a new and totally free BitTorrent hosting service. With VIPeers, everyone can easily share large files up to 5 GB with as many people as they wish, without having to seed it themselves. The service can be best described as a mashup between one-click hosting sites like Rapidshare and BitTorrent.
Although millions of people use BitTorrent on a daily basis, only a few are actually publishing content. When someone want to share a large video file, or a couple of photo’s, Rapidshare and similar file hosting services are often preferred.
With VIPeers this might change, since it is one of the few sites that makes it really easy to share files over BitTorrent. The service eliminates the need to create a .torrent file, add trackers, and seed the file - stuff people often find cumbersome. All you need to do is use the web based uploader, point to the file you want to share on your computer, and VIPeers takes care of the rest.

VIPeers Web-uploader
The whole process works very intuitive, and even people who have never heard of, trackers, seeds or peers will be able use it without running into trouble. When the file has been uploaded to VIPeers, it will show a list of sharing options, including a direct link to the .torrent file. You can send this link to the people you want to share the file with, or upload the torrent file to any other BitTorrent site if you don’t mind making it public.
In addition, VIPeers offers “widgets” for blogs, forums and other websites to make it even more easy to share files. The other option is to include a link to the download page, which also has a direct download link, and a link to download it via Podmailing.
VIPeers’ Louis Choquel told TorrentFreak that he has seen the highest speed with BitTorrent downloads, especially when more people are downloading the file. Another advantage of using BitTorrent is that the torrent can live on indefinitely. “The duration of hosting is limited to a maximum of 3 months. But after that, we continue tracking the torrent so that the swarm can live on and enable people to continue downloading it, even though it’s not on our server anymore,” Choquel said.
Overall I would say that VIPeers succeeded in making BitTorrent more accessible as a publishing tool, and a 5 GB limit is much more than most of the competition offers. Also, not having to seed a file can be very convenient. The only downside to the service is that you’ll have to sign up in order to upload files. VIPeers is currently invite only, but TorrentFreak readers can sign up with the invite code TORRENTFREAK888.
