I like to build a webpage to market and sell products with dropshipping wholesale supplier. I registered for my own domain. Do I need a web hosting to build a webpage? I tried hostgator, supergreen, and many others, and none of them work or that I couldn’t login to cPanel. They won’t work. I’m sorry to say I have no experience in building webpage. Anyone that can help me will be greatly appreciated.

Yes you do need a web hosting service to build a webpage. Hope I helped.

Could someone tell me what hardware and software i need. How to set it up, and what website sell it cheap. Also does anyone know any good websites explaining all this. Especially setting the servers up, what i need. Thank You, Could you please help me

Hey Kenneth,
What you would probably be looking for is a company that does reseller hosting. There are many of them out there, but I personally would recommend Hostgators’. Hostgator has plans starting at $24.95 a month, which is really cheap if you plan on selling this hosting. With that said though, if that isn’t enough for you they have other plans available as well. When you become a reseller they provide you with a hosting reseller panel, a hosting managing system, and the ability to control user information such as passwords and emails. On their website they also have a control panel demo, which gives you a feel for what it will be like running your reseller business. I definitely recommend that you check it out.. I’ve posted the link to their site below:

I run a children’s boutique on etsy and currently searching for the best choice for web hosting. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, are there any web hosting sites that charge you monthly rather than yearly, etc?

There are some hosting sites that charge you monthly (like Hostgator) but they’re usually a lot more expensive that way so it’s not really worth it. For example Hostgator charges $9.95/month + $15.00 for a domain name, so for like $45.00 you get 3 months of hosting. For that price you might as well get a full year of hosting (including a domain name).
A lot of hosts are willing to offer a huge discount in order to attract new customers.

I recommend one of these: http://www.tophostingpicks.com

iPage has the best offer right now.
Their standard price is $84/year ($6.95) but they have
a 50% sale, one year of hosting for $42.00.

Their plan includes:

Unlimited disk space
Unlimited bandwidth
Free domain name

Price: $42/year ($3.50)

They have one of the most popular hosting platforms, which currently hosts over a million websites. They’re also one of the oldest hosting companies, founded in 1998.

They include a free point & click online site builder so you can create a website without any programming (easily, just by drag and drop).

They also have a great custom control panel with OneClick installs of all the popular software like Wordpress, Joomla, Forums, Chat, Galleries, Online stores and a lot more.

I’m planning to build a website but since geocities free hosting has shut down, I have to find another web host that is easy to use, navigate, has efficient web tools and has faster loading time. Could anyone share any web host sites and their advantages and disadvantages so I can compare which one is the best? Thanks.

Hi galaxyangel_mint,

The criteria you mentioned seem to apply only to
reliable paid hosting.

I don’t know why you insist on free hosting service
because from the business point of view, they
don’t provide reliable server to run your website,
even though you upgrade to become their paid users
later on.

When you face an urgent matter, they can’t help
you instantly since they only provide email support.

But if you’re building a personal website just to
share with your closed friends and family and not
using it as a business platform, then that probably
justifies your choice.

I personally would not recommend any free web hosting
service for my clients who run businesses because
they really stinks. I’ve used several of them when
I first started out, but they failed me.

Again, if you just want to build a non-profitable
website, any free hosting service will do the trick.
But if you intend to go into business, then I would
suggest you to go get a reliable paid hosting service
which is easy to use, navigate, has efficient web
tools and has faster loading time, as per your expectation.

You might want to refer to the website below which
I found pretty useful and helpful for those who
wanted to know which web hosting service works best
for them.

Best of luck!

I want to buy a web hosting business that already has customers , but I’m not sure what skills and knowledge are needed .
I own several websites and know basic knowledge about uploading a website , URL’s , and know that the server space has to be leased and resold to customers according to their bandwidth and size of site .

However, Do I need to know Unix , Linux , or Perl or other programming languages ? If so , can this be out sourced reasonably ?

system admininstration/php/mysql knowledge/network security/network monitoring. If you do not know any of these you may want to hire a web developer for a month or two. Check websites like http://definitivelab.com/

I need to find a reliable web hosting site that could cater to the needs of a large scale information sharing website. My requirements are easy access to placing ads on my website, large data storage, and multifaceted media capabilities. Also, any website development sites would be nice to know.

there you go:

I read that googlehotcash etc., websites are scam in YAHOO INDIA ANSWERS. The answer even mentions that they are not sponsered by yahoo and google. Then are there really sponsered jobs of web hosting we can carry out from home?

You can do the sponsored with yourself, some of the web hosting companies offered the free affiliate program and you can join their program. In my opinion, you should have a website with yourself, even you don’t have a website, you can start a free blog to earn the sponsor money.

I would like to know how and where it is I go to upload information and data onto one of yahoo’s web hosting servers, I have a client that already has a business account but I was unable to figure out what to do. I most likely skimmed over it but would still like guidance rather than run blindly. I’d appreciate it greatly, thanks in advance.

Hello,

You could use an FTP software. The tutorial below should help you with using Filezilla FTP program.

Link to download: http://filezilla-project.org/ and click on download Filezilla client.

Filezilla Setup article: http://www.w3hub.org/doc/filezilla/

After you login to the FTP client filezilla using
1. Your IP address (X.X.X.X)
2. Your FTP login
3. Your FTP password

You should be able to see the pages on your site. You can then drag and drop files to your server to upload or download them.

Good Luck!

I am interesting in buying an existing web hosting company , do I need to have expert knowledge of computer programming ? If so , where can this be outsourced ?

The skills required depend on the type of application you plan to host. If you plan to host a LAMP (Linux / PHP) then some knowledge of those products would be very useful, if not mandatory.

If you choose to do Windows .NET hosting you may want to get your MSCE, and other such certifications. I would recommend that you familiarize yourself with how a hosting company operates, as you will need some business skills, marketing skills, as well as some negotiation skills.

This all assumes that you plan to build a bricks and mortar hosting company. If you plan to simply outsource, then you need some analytical skills, and social networking skills or connections.

You should analyze the company you are planning to buy, and determine what technologies are in use, and what the clients want / use.
