Essential Web Development Tools


Developing a successful website design takes a great deal of planning and preparation. An important part of your preparation is obtaining the essential tools of the trade.

HTML Editors: – An HTML editor is a software program used to create and edit HTML documents. Although some Internet marketers prefer to write their own HTML code, most prefer to use an HTML editor, as it can greatly simplify a somewhat difficult process.

Here are some popular HTML editors:

Macromedia Dream weaver
http://www.macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver/
A popular WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) HTML editor. Great for beginners and advanced users alike.

Coffee Cup
http://www.coffeecup.com/html-editor/
A popular HTML editor that’s great for beginners as well as advanced users. Includes a built in browser that will enable you to instantly preview your HTML as you go.

Hot Dog Professional
http://sausage.com/products/index.html
Three HTML editors, including Hot Dog Junior for children, PageWiz for the novice user and Professional for advanced and budding webmasters.

Text Editors: – A text editor is a software program used for editing plain text that doesn’t add any special formatting. If you’re considering writing your own HTML code, you’ll need a good text editor. Although it will certainly be more time consuming, your code will be much cleaner and can reduce your file size considerably. FTP: – File Transfer Protocol, better known as FTP, is a procedure used to upload and download files to and from your web server. Although many HTML editors will enable you to edit and transfer pages to your server, an FTP program is still an essential tool, as you must have complete control over the files on your server. An FTP program will enable you to upload scripts, set file permissions, create folders and transfer files to and from your server. Graphics Editor: – A graphics editor is a software program that will enable you to design and edit graphics. Graphic design is an intimidating subject for many Internet entrepreneurs. However, most of us must learn some basic design techniques in order to avoid the high costs of hiring a professional designer.

A Zip file is an ‘archive’ of one or more files compressed into one file for easy distribution. Zip files are used to compress and transport file archives over the Internet. It is the preferred method used for electronic file distribution, as rather than downloading several different files, you can simply download one Zip file. In addition, the download time will be minimized, as the files within the Zip archive are compressed.

Email: – Although most Internet Service Providers include email accounts for their customers, these accounts aren’t adequate for an Internet business — especially if you get a large amount of email. Not only do the email addresses contain your ISP’s name, but they are also very limited on features and options. The two most popular email clients used online are Outlook and Eudora. These programs will enable you to download email from your server and offer features, such as sorting and filtering, and will enable you to easily organize your email messages. What’s more, your email address will be your own domain – not someone else’s. Your webmaster toolbox will play an important part in your success. Take the time to ensure your toolbox contains these essential tools and you’ll be well on your way to designing a professional web site.

Criteria for .us extension


I want to register a .us Domain name. what is criteria to find .us extension

The U.S. Nexus Requirement ensures that only individuals or organizations that have a substantive connection to the United States can register .us domain names

To qualify, you must meet the following criterion.
1.A natural person (i) who is a citizen or permanent resident of the United States of America.
2.An entity or organization that is incorporated within U.S. states.
3.An entity or organization (including a federal, state, or local government of the United States, or a political subdivision thereof) that has a bona fide presence in the United States.

no one really does care aboutt he rules in registering US domains, because like Namepros, no rules applied when i registered a US domain there.

No one cares about the rules!
Neither registrars nor the registry, simply because it brings them money.

i had one .us domain but before buyng i dont know this rules.

theres nothing like that but its very easy to own.

If you really want a .us name, you just go to a US register & reg it.

Web Hosts Not All Are Created Equal


Many people think that all web hosts offer the same level of service within a certain price point. This could not be further from the truth. Fundamentally web hosting is web hosting but when you compare apples to apples you will find a broad range of differences that may or may not be a detriment to your business. Below are 3 simple steps to help you determine what provider will best fit for your needs and where to find them.

1. Determine Your Price Point
Let’s face it; the bottom line is usually at the top of the list, which is price. You can spend anywhere from a few dollars a month to a few hundred depending on your needs. Only you can determine your budget and what you are willing to spend so the best bet is to choose a realistic middle ground on price and then begin shopping. A great place to start is cpwebhosting.net. This is a very well known and established web hosting company. The obvious benefit here is that your hosting reliability factor increases greatly as well as the control of your content and customization.

2. Determine Your Needs
What are your requirements from your perspective web host and what are your expectations in relation to your budget? Web hosting in general has become much more affordable and competitive but you should ask yourself some fundamental questions first. Do you require your web site to be available 24/7/365 100% all the time or can you / your business live with a modest 99.9% up-time which is normally the industry standard for a much lower price point then a higher end SLA (Service Level Agreement) from a more expensive provider. What level of support do you need or expect? Will you require 24/7/365 phone support for technical and sales assistance or will email and or ticketing system be sufficient? Another important aspect but highly overlooked is the issue of potential data loss. Make sure that the web host you choose offers back up / restore services or perhaps at least an option to ad it or make it available at an additional cost.

3. Do Your Homework
Once you have narrowed your web hosting needs and price points its time to do a little digging on your perspective providers. Your research should begin on the providers own web site. Most companies have an ‘about us’ page which may provide some relative background on company history and a summary of their products, services, and infrastructure. You should also read their privacy policy and terms of service. Never take anything for granted. You should know exactly what you’re entering into and what you can expect from your provider should problems arise.

Free parking v/s paid parking


Is free parking as good as paid?

I’ve seen domain parking services that claim to add relevant content as well as links, and want a percantage instead of charging a fee. They provide, well not free parking, but no-cost-if-it-flops parking..

i would never pay to park my domain. there are lots of free parking company.. where u can park free to earn.

I wouldn’t pay to park my domains.

There are both advantages and disadvantages in free parking.

I always go for free parking.

Highest profitable extension


From the which extension u have made the the highest profit.

For me the extention with the highest profit is .info. Maybe becuase its so cheap to register and there is less risk.

.com is always the best, that will never change.

Developing any .info domain has been a great experience for me but for domain sale, .com is best

.com has always been the best for me.

I would’ve loved to have 100 LLL.com as they are worth a fortune in todays market!

.name extension has value


Is a state name domain in .name extension has value?

I wouldn’t think that .name are really worth much at all. Not very popular extention.

.name extension is not short. choose a short extension.

Probably not much as compared to what you get from a .com, .net, .info or us.

I personally would put my money into a better extention that would make money. I think .name is going to die soon.

I wouldn’t advise you on buying any of them.

Personally, I’ve never liked that tld and I doubt I’ll ever register one.

Types of Web Hosting


The basic types of the web hosting available in the market are:

1. Free hosting This type is free because the service would usually be compensated with advertisements on your website. Free hosting usually offers little or probably no support at all. It could also have a lot of disadvantages. This could be considered as a thing of the past, because hosting has actually become more and more affordable through the years.

2.Shared hosting This hosting is most popular as well as the most widely used kind of web hosting. Shared hosting would basically mean that multiple websites are being hosted on just one hard drive and server. This would mean that each user would just have a limited disk space as well as bandwidth or data transfer.

3.Reseller hosting This would be the reselling of hosting accounts for another web host under a brand of your own. You would be determining the pricing structure and other aspects. As a reseller, you would be provided with everything that you need and you would not need any hardware anymore.

4. Virtual Private Server This would be the low cost alternative for having your own server. Virtual would mean that you are not renting a real server, but you are rather splitting hardware with the other virtual servers running on the same machine.

5. Dedicated Server This is an advanced kind of web hosting which would include the rental as well as the exclusive use of an internet connection, a computer and software. This kind of server would provide the most control compared to all the other types but would also require the greatest responsibility.

6. Managed Hosting This is like an expanded dedicated web server hosting. In dedicated servers, the client has to take care of his or her own server but in managed hosting, the provider would have the responsibility of doing that.

7. Colocation This would be a hosting type that would require you to bring your server to the data center of your host.

8. Clustered hosting This type of hosting is commonly used by the biggest and most important websites. Clustered would mean that the same content would be served on a number of servers enabling better redundancy and resource.

Thoughts about Private Registration


What are your thoughts about Private Registration, is it useful?

i use private registration to protect my personal infos. It depends whether it is available or not from where I am registering the domain names.

I like Private Registration on my personal domains, if the domains are for reselling, then I wouldn’t take it unless the private registration is free. I don’t like to have my information shown to public.

I’ve never really found any benefit for it.

It’s really useless in my opinion.

Country specific third level domain (TLD) names are significantly more expensive


I wonder why country specific third level domain (TLD) names are significantly more expensive than any TLD available around.

Because They have every right to charge a high amount for their county’s tld.

I think it is due to law of supply and demand.

I don’t mind this because it means that there are fewer spammy sites as a result.
