Author: Dont Be A Web Host Victim!
How well do you know the company that hosts your website? In
this era of dotcom failures if your host company goes out of
business you may be in deep trouble.
Let’s cover the basics first. A website is a group of electronic
“files” stored on a special computer also called a “server”.
This server is hooked up to the Internet to allow visitors access
to web pages 24 hrs a day/7 days a week.
If you own a “first level” domain name
example: http://www.mycompany.com/ the web site and its pages are your
property. But if your host goes out of business shuts down its
servers and the web pages are not retrievable your website is
not just inaccessible it’s gone! And you no longer have access
to the email address associated with your site.
If you use a free service to host your web pages and have a
“second level” domain name such as www.freehost.com/mycompany
when the hosting company goes out of business you are completely
out of business. No domain and no pages. The domain address
you’ve been using and hopefully advertising! and the site are
completely gone.
Protecting Yourself:
1 You should always retain a copy of all your web pages and
images used. This serves a dual purpose. It not only provides a
level of safety in the event of a problem with the web server
it also provides a backup copy of your web pages if your provider
goes out of business.
2 Buy your own first level domain http://www.mycompany.com/ if you
haven’t already. It looks much more professional than a second
level domain and is an inexpensive investment. Go to:
http://123cheapdomains.com/ to register your name for less.
3 If you already own your domain and had your web designer or
host register it for you make sure the domain name is actually
in your name. We had a client recently have to change the domain
name they were using because their former web developer
registered the domain in their own name! Go to:
http://www.whois.net/ type in your domain name then in the
next page click on “whois record”. Your name should be the first
one listed. The Admin and technical contacts can be your host or
web designers.
4 Know your web host company. Like anything you get what you
pay for with cheap web hosting. Support will be by phone or
email and on generally on THEIR schedule. Be aware of what you
are getting.
Your best bet is to contact for services with a web host who
provides quality service at a reasonable price. Protect yourself
from the possibility they might go out of business.
MIND’S EYE NEWS TIP IN PLAIN ENGLISH:
Retain a copy of your website and make sure you own your first
level domain address.

Discovering Originative And Moneymaking Ways To Use Bulk Email For Your Email Campaign
Have you ever thought of using an email campaign as a strategy for you to gain more profit from your online business? Email marketing is one of the best strategies that you can use so you would be able to obtain the traffic that you need sent into your website.
In an online business it is your website that confirms transactions made by your subscribers and the one that promotes what you offer to the general public. It is important to use a method that would be able to generate those leads so you will be able to get sales.
On your email campaign you would be looking into several aspects on how to make sure that this method would cater to the marketing needs of your business. Involved here is sending bulk email to your clients updating them with anything new to your business or probably sending them out newsletters regarding information related to your niche.
Probably at this time you already have your repetitive customers and are ready to take in new customers. To make your business profitable with the use of the email listing that you already have you should be able to create a link between you and your customers somehow like personal relationship.
It is important that you make these people feel as if you were a friend and the reason why you are recommending the product that you would like to sell them is that they need it and it’s definitely big help. To be able to build a friendly relationship with your clients would bring out their trust in what you say and eventually they will purchase your product time after time.
Of course these updates or newsletters you will be sending would be sent through an email list that you have. Here goes the bulk email sending part. If you do this manually or you will just rely on sending it via your own email client or free email provider it will take more of your time. To alleviate issues regarding sending emails to your clients manually you may use a bulk emailer to send them out accordingly.
Email sender softwares would allow you to import email address from certain programs and applications like for instance Microsoft Excel or a SQL Server. And then you can use this software to send multiple emails to a large number of recipients. Using this software would save you more time so you can do other things that are related to your business.
