A
Warning About Hosting
I'm not
sorry for being a bit strong on this point, because it
happens over and over.
98% of
customers are sensible enough to follow this advice.
But of
the reaming 2%, who do not
follow this simple and cost-effective method of hosting, most
end up scrapping their existing hosting and changing
to the hosting I recommended in the first place,
thereby losing time and money!
To find out why, click
here (opens in new window)
Don't
let this happen to you.
Installing
and customizing a major website - which is what you will be doing,
is a tense time at best. I do our utmost to make it a smooth and
comfortable experience for you.
Please
don't risk making yourself upset by introducing complications into
the proven and smooth process I have developed for you - by going
your own way!

My
Recommendations
For the Professional
website owners I wanted to source the best deal on website hosting
for you.
I know
that you want reliable hosting with with the features you need
in a simple easy-to-set-up interface and at a low cost.
I have
sourced for you what I consider to be the best solution for you.
There are two companies that I use and recommend. In fact, 100%
of Professional Affiliate Website Company websites are hosted with
these two companies.
I have never
had a single valid complaint from any of these customers.
Both
companies offer great features, excellent service and low cost. Both
have Control Panels and are easy to set up.
And both
have affiliate programs. You only have to make two sales of the
hosting packages and your hosting is virtually FREE.
(So price shouldn't be a factor if you expect to make a few
sales - and you do, don't you?!)
Because
the Professional website is so huge, you need plenty of disk space
to run it. For the other Affiliate Website Company websites I normally
recommend you choose from Arbor Hosting or Host4Profit.
But
because the Professional site is so huge I only recommend
ThirdSphere Hosing and Host4Profit hosting for this site.
These
are the minimum hosting requirements for this website Type:
Professional:
 |
Minimum
66MB of disk space - more is better
|
|
Must
be Provided with MS FrontPage2002 extensions.
|
|
Must
be able to run CGI Scripts
|
|
Must
be able to provide URL re-direct facilities
|
|
Should
have multiple email aliases
|
|
Should
allow secondary domains. (Means you can host many different
websites each with it's own domain name)
|
|
Should
have built-in Autoresponders
If you want to run the AutoResponsePlus Autoresponder
(recommended), you must have the following facilities: |
|
A
web server running UNIX or Linux (not Windows NT/2000) |
|
MySQL
(at least 3.23.39) |
|
Perl
5.005 or greater with your own CGI-BIN |
|
FTP
(and preferably SSH or Telnet) access for installing and
configuring AutoResponse Plus |
|
Sendmail,
Qmail or Exim on your server (not compatible with Postfix) |
|
Ability
to run cron tasks (this is not optional) |
Some
specification! Only if you host with one of the two I companies I recommend
below, will I guarantee your site will work properly.
Here
is a brief run-down on each package:
|
 |
| |
| |
 |
| Third Sphere Hosting |
| Cost $24.95/month |
| Affiliate Commission $10.00/month |
| Disk Space 500MB |
Recommended by AutoResponsePlus.
This is what they say:
|
"Third Sphere Hosting is
simply the best web shared host we have found for running
AutoResponse Plus.
If you're starting out in business or just looking for a
new host for your web site, we recommend that you look at Third
Sphere Hosting.
Their range of features is superb and support is fast and
helpful." |

|
|
I recommend the Third Sphere Hosting package if you expect to
expand your website, own more than one website and intend to
become an Internet Professional.
The Third Sphere Hosting
package will support a greatly expanded Affiliate Website Company
website Type: Professional and has space for additional sites, such
as mini-sites that you may want to add in future.
Another
great feature is to be able to add new domain names - essential if
you want to put up a few mini-sites.
|
|
Sequential
Autoresponders and MYSQL
It is essential
that you have a sequential autoresponder to build your online
business. You can use a web based service or you can purchase
your own and avoid the monthly service charges.
That's
one reason I purchased AutoResponsePlus and I thoroughly
recommend it. It is installed on your own website and you must have
a MYSQL database as part of your hosting package.
The Third Sphere Hosting
package comes with unlimited MYSQL databases.
|
|
And, with the Third Sphere Hosting
package you get a all these eBooks you can sell from your
website and earn 50% of the sale price by the built-in affiliate
program. They will automatically installed for you when you click an
'Add Products' link in your Control Panel.

the website Type: Professional.

How
Much Space Do You Need?

How Much Disk Space Do You
Need?
How much space do you need to
host an Affiliate Website Company Re-Sale Rights website?
This is the amount of space
actually used at present (April 2003) by some Affiliate Website
Company websites:
The

| Watch
Out for Website Size Creep
All
normal websites will grow in disk space requirements. It's
best to allow for this at the outset than to run out of disk
space as your website grows - as I did! You can see this in
the table above.
Although
the ARBOR
HOSTING
Standard 25 package is fine for a single basic website, (but not
sufficient for a website type: Professional) you may find that
as you become more ambitious, you will run out of disk space.
That
is exactly what I did. I started out with the basic Standard 25
package at $5.95 a month then very quickly graduated through various
stages to the Business 500 package at $44.95 a
month and it's still not the best answer!
I may soon have to upgrade again to Business 1000 at $79.95 a
month!
What I
should have done is take out two Host4Profit
packages at $24.95 a month each.
Now I
am not an exception. All websites grow as the owners add more
features to their sites.
Here are
some of the reasons why any normal site will grow in disk space
requirements:
|
eMail.
All eMail sent to the domain is stored in the website's disk
space
|
|
Traffic
logs. These logs just keep growing as you get more traffic.
|
|
Autoresponders.
All autoresponder messages and subscription lists are stored on
your website. If these lists aren't getting big you'll not be
making much money in future!
|
|
Form
Results. Every time someone subscribes to the Newsletter or
submits a query through the Contact Us form, the results are
stored on the website.
|
|
Adding
tracking links. these are in the form of folders, or sub-webs.
|
|
Adding
other features, such as CGI scripts
|
|
Adding
new pages, mini-sites and content.
This is a huge growth area. I am constantly adding new affiliate
programs, features, web pages and mini-sites.
Mini-sites in particular are an extremely effective way of
making sales. They are extremely popular and easy to set up. You
can find plenty of ready-made mini-sites to add to your website.
Don't strangle your future growth. Allow for the fact that you
will be adding mini-sites in future and get a hosting package
that allows this.
