1 and 1 Web hosting can be important for either a business, or just a private business. 1 and 1 web hosting provides some of the most affordable rates and dependable service I have ever seen. According to their website, for $2.99 a month you get up to five free domains, as well as free photo gallery and website builder software. You can even get help from support if you ever need it, and there are different services available for personal, small business, and large business users.
It is important to have the right host. Just being inexpensive is not enough if the service always goes down. I once had a host sight with a poor hoster which was dirt cheap, but every time I would try to update it, it could take 2 days for the updates to be actually on the site. I finally put 1 and 1 together. They were always giving me excuses. They'd say that they were updating their server, refreshing their software, working out a bug, getting new hardware, but in reality they really only just had substandard service and that is all there is to it. There are many things to think about with 1 and 1 hosting. It is important to get a domain name you like, one that will draw people to your site. Often you think that a domain is one that people will like only to find out it is not. I was involved in a business called net shoes at netshoes.com, which we thought was a catchy name. We believed that everyone would be buying shoes from us by the time the dot com boom was in full swing. We sold tennis shoes, cross training shoes, loafers, boots, pumps. Practically everything. But in reality, even though we had detailed web pages and affordable prices, and even decent hosting (no more fly by night – we were using 1 and 1), the web site floundered. People kept buying their shoes in stores at regular high prices. Our service was so excellent, that I can only assume we failed because of the name. Just because it has “dot com” in it doesn't mean everyone will buy it. However, even though a good name for a website can help you succeed, it doesn't even guarantee success, and on the other hand, website without it can do very well. Look at flashplayer.com, for example. It has become a very successful website, with hundred and hundreds of flash animations, and virtually overflowing with traffic, but does it really have a good name? No! It has a boring one, but because of the quality of the website, people come to visit in droves.
