Build a Niche Marketing Business – Step 8: Get The Right Type Of Hosting
NOTE: If you already have a hosting account that allows for an unlimited amount of domains AND gives you a separate cpanel for each domain, you can skip this post and move on since you’re all set up and ready to go!
If you don’t or don’t know, read on!
Read that first paragraph carefully. There are a lot of hosting accounts that will allow you to host unlimited domains, BUT, the domains have to be ADD-ON domains! Normally, that would be minimally acceptable, but for what you’re going to be doing to turbocharge your sites…it just won’t work!
Here’s why: we’re going to be doing everything possible to get traffic to your site AND be able to have fresh content added to it on a daily basis. In order to do that, we’ll need the full power of a cpanel for each site…and remember, at the end of 30 days, you may have 30 sites!
SO…if you don’t want to have to buy 30 different hosting accounts…and MORE as your business grows…a reseller account is the ONLY way to go! Just because it’s called a reseller account doesn’t mean you HAVE to resell the accounts. You’ll be using them all for yourself!
Without a reseller account, the process would be: find a great domain name (pay $2.00 up to $10.00)…go get a hosting account (pay $5.00 up to $20.00 per month)…get the site set up. Total per site? $62.00 per year minimum! Multiply that by 30 sites and you have $1860.00 if you don’t grow anymore!
Compare that to using a reseller account. Find a great domain name (pay $2.00 up to $10.00)…slap it on your reseller account and you’re done! The reseller account costs $300.00 a year. 30 domain names would cost you $60.00. Total? $360.00! BIG DIFFERENCE! You just made yourself $1500.00 with one good decision.
See? You have to plan for growth. It’s called scalability.
I normally recommend only two hosting accounts, however for the type of hosting we need here, there is only one hosting account that I would recommend. They also have great customer support by both email and phone and they have one of the best records when it comes to “up-time”. They simply can’t be beat!
The company is HostGator and it’s headquartered in both Florida and Texas.
All you need to get is HostGator’s “Aluminum” Reseller account. It allows for unlimited domain names AND gives each new domain name a separate cpanel! You’ll see why that’s so vitally important in the next post.
SO…go grab your hosting! Just CLICK HERE
We’re getting started on the site next!
