Many hosts lose clients daily due to lack of support, long periods of downtime, not providing enough service, the list is endless.So we have to very much careful about hosting business.

The most important part of a successful web host is the uptime of their servers. For clients and this is from experience if we try and access our emails, or web site and both are constantly down because the server is offline.

Downtime can be a major factor for a web host to lose clients, for the simple fact that we are paying for a service that we are not receiving. Many hosts offer an uptime guarantee of around 99%, which is acceptable because servers will go down from time total time.

In the event that a client’s web site goes down for whatever reason, they want to know that they will be able to contact their host and get the problem resolved. If a client finds it hard to contact their host, they can become frustrated.As a result we have to loss our reliable customer.
The price of our hosting service must be reasonable, finding a mid point between offering a good service and making a profit can be hard to find.

To design a website using PHP


Friends at CpWebhosting please tell me how to build a website using PHP?I want the easiest way to build a website, maintain it and have individual pages for good search engines ranking positions

Well you can use PHP INCLUDE method to made alterations in your website.This method will automatically update your whole website.For example if you have 300 files in you website and you want to make a common change in all of them,then you can use this method in which you have to just make change in one file and all other files will be automatically updated.

Well i have few tips for you which will help you while building you website.you must keep all the files which is related to your website in same folder.Do not make too many folders.This will help you work with ease when your website will grow up to large.
Secondly always give names to your files in lowercase letters.

open up your HTML editor and create a new page, save this page as template.php inside the folder you have just created. The extension of the page you create has to end with .php.

hey Jap we are opening a html editor then why we are using .php instead of .htm extension?

This is because All page extensions need to end with .php to allow PHP to parse the pages and include the includes!

Now make the source code by creating tables in WYSIWYG.

Now everytime open up new blank pages from html editor to create following pages for your website:-
1)template.php (Our main page which we will be using again later)
2)header.php (Our included page header)
3)footer.php (Our included footer page)
4)menu.php (Our included page which will have our menu links on)

Hey where have we used PHP include in our website?

Well it will be used in template file.For example if you use Contact,name and about in template.php then this information will be automatically generated in all the other pages.

ok thanx.Now php include function is very much clear to me.

Now in our final step , to view the pages you have created you will need to upload them to a PHP enabled web server.

How this step can be performed?

Well now every host provides it as a standard server.You do not need any special privalages to start it.Point your browser to the uploaded index page and you should be able to see the basic layout and pages we have just created.

best host


A good, shared Web host must provide reliable and reasonable quality of service. Many times, a consumer will sign up with the least expensive provider only to experience many technical difficulties and the inevitable and frustrating experience of changing Web hosts.How can we choose a reliable host?

This is best if the consumer chooses the right hosting company. Ensuring that a shared Web hosting firm has the following characteristics will increase the probability of consumer satisfaction.

The use of quality server technology is important. Since shared hosting services utilize multiplexed equipment, consumers must ensure that the server and server technology used can accommodate the number of users on our particular server.

Our shared hosting package must have multiple connections to the Internet. Network redundancy ensures that if one Internet connection goes down, traffic can be re routed through another connection.

It is important to find the fastest Internet connection possible. Since we are competing with other users for resources in a shared hosting environment, we should ensure that we have at least T3 connection that is using less than 50 per cent of available bandwidth.

merchant accounts in simply in reseller hosting


There are two basic reasons we have a web site. The first is to provide an information type web site. The second is to sell our products and or services. If we are going to be selling a product or service online we must have the ability to accept credit cards.

The virtual terminal or payment gateway is what is used to allow our customers to purchase a product from our website real time. It operates under they same technology as when we go into a store and the counter person swipes our credit card through a machine.
The only difference is our customers enter their credit card number in the computer. 8-10 seconds later the sale is complete and we receive notification via e mail.
A few years age companies were selling the virtual terminal for as much as can possible or on a monthly lease of anywhere from some dollars per month for 4 years.
Prices range at point from some dollars, again depending on the type of product that we are selling. Companies that take on mid to high risk accounts will charge more. Again it is important to do our shopping, we found a couple of companies that actually charge zero for the virtual terminal.
Again we can’t stress enough doing our homework. We have seen discount rates of again depending on the type of products services being sold. Monthly statement fees of some dollars.
We have attempted to give us a complete overview of why we need a merchant account. Studies do show that by accepting credit cards either in a retail establishment or online total sales will increase anywhere from 50-1000%.
We also can’t stress enough to shop for the best deal. If we are not sure what direction to choose, talk to the person that is hosting our web site.
Processing companies will sometimes work out a special pricing programs specifically for web hosting company clients.We can not stress enough the need to do our homework.

about reseller billing


Reseller hosting has its billing system but it’s upto user that which type of billing system is proper for themself?

It makes sense to say that most people pay their bills on a monthly basis. We should referring to overhead costs when running a business.

An electric bill can be high if we paid it yearly and we would actually make money if we paid it monthly by investing our cash flow and made interest on it.This theory is set for reseller hosting.

It is easier for us to bill our clients monthly. Pros Of Billing Monthly we add cash flow to our company, we pay the majority of our bills on a monthly schedule.
Our clients don’t feel locked into a contract when they get to an order form and see they can only pay yearly, If our firm ever goes up for sale, a purchaser is going to look for the monthly cash flow.
If we do not have it, company will only assume our yearly contracts are not going to renew and will pay us only what we are worth on a monthly schedule.

Monthly payable billing system can reduce the damage that credit card fraud can do to our company. If the false user signs up for a year, we won’t find out that it is fraud for at least 60 to 90 days.

If ywe bill monthly, we will know by the next cycle if the card works. Cons Of Billing Monthly 1. Monthly merchant account fees.
If we can think of any more cons we will be sure to add them. The pros simply outweigh the cons. It is the more conservative route to take, but it will pay off in the end.

choosing a proper reseller name


Choosing a proper name this one is tough. Back in the mid 90’s this was quite easy to do.Due to lack of use of it.

Nowadays, the good ones are taken Not really. A lot of the names are available now. Those who purchased them, have let them expire.

By no means do we suggest that we purchase our name there. Simply look and search. We are better off purchasing a domain name with the web hosting company we have chosen.
Some thoughts on purchasing a domain name.
Make sure it is a name that interacts with what our site is about.
Try our best to get a short name. Remember, our domain name is part of our email address. Our visitors/customers will like it better by typing in a shorter email address.
Don’t let iname expire by accident. We would be surprised at how many people let this happen and lose a name that too a long time to acquire.

choosing a reseller host


With the preparations finished, the business plans done, and our site ready to launch, it’s time to find a host. We may feel as if the tough decisions have all been made, but there is a critical one still ahead of us: picking a host.

Reseller hosts offer the most practical solutions, but it’s imperative that we know what our reseller can and cannot offer us, and whether it is compatible with our company.

Essentially, resellers are middlemen or subcontractors for larger hosting companies, often their phone lines and equipment aren’t even their own. They purchase space from larger companies.

Usually at a discount of about 30 percent, and then mark up the price that hosting compannies offer to the consumer. The most reliable resellers are the ones who buy from established hosting companies,the host delivers reliability and innovation, and the reseller allows the parent host a chance to add more customers.

Web sites that require NT hosting are slightly more expensive than those that use UNIX hosting, but, on average, resellers charge about some dollars per month.

Because of speed and user friendliness are essential to e commerce, we should ask detailed questions about our potential reseller’s capabilities. How secure is the transaction or credit card software? Does the reseller have any offerings other than virtual storefronts?

What can the reseller do to strengthen our site? Outline potential disaster scenarios, and ask how the reseller how he or she would resolve each problem.

Most importantly, find out what support or backup systems the reseller offers in the event of a crash. Asking company for names of satisfied customers is another way to find out if the reseller can back up its claims.
It is always important to know how much one on one time we can expect. Some larger resellers may provide exceptional service, or may be on top of the latest trends but if they are spread too thin, they may hinder our site’s performance by prioritizing another client’s problems over ours, or by not giving us prompt service.
The communication shouldn’t just be one way. our reseller should certainly keep We informed of new ways to attract visitors, or to enhance our site. Services like 24-hour support are also vital.
Like a casino, our site has no opening or closing time,so neither should its support team.If a reseller can meet our needs and enhance our site’s capabilities, then it is the right company for the job.

what is reseller hosting


The term Reseller according to the dictionary means to sell again i.e. to sell a product or service to the public or to an end user, especially as an authorized dealer, while making sure that we make a profit on the sale.The term Reseller according to the dictionary means to sell again i.e. to sell a product or service to the public or to an end user, especially as an authorized dealer, while making sure that we make a profit on the sale.

Reseller hosting is no different either, a reseller buys a Web hosting package from a hosting company and tries to sell it independently. The profit for the reseller lies in either the discount or in the commission this gets from selling an account.
The reseller might purchase a package whose features are valued at some dollars . So, the reseller stands to make a few dollars profit on selling the package to customers. Normally as the customers increase, so does the profit margin for the reseller.

we can get some money by earning commissions from a hosting company. This happens when we refer potential customers to the hosting company. If the customer signs up with the company then we earn a small recurring commission until the customer uses the services.
Most web hosting companies try to outsource their services to resellers as it helps them to extend their business reach without the cost of marketing and sales and also helps them to concentrate on the business side of things.
As a reseller we can decide what kinds of services we can sell. We can provide shared, dedicated or co-location web hosting or merchant accounts, store fronts etc.
If we go with hosting then it might be useful to offer some other hosting related services like domain names, search engines etc.
The cost of becoming a reseller and the equipment and people required in order to be successful depends on many factors.If we just plan to earn commission by referring people to the hosting company by using the Internet, then we do not have to put up a lot of money, all we need is an Internet ready PC and an Internet connection.
For a small start up not a lot of money and resources are required. we can purchase a good reseller package from a hosting company by paying them some money upfront. All that is needed is a decent computer that can manage the accounts of customers and a good Internet connection.

It is advisable to start small if we are very new to the concept of web hosting and reselling. Then we can expand as we go on and start getting more and more customers in which case offering domain registration is also a very good way to make profits.
If we have the money and the experience then we can go as far as buying all the server equipment required, in which case we will also be responsible for all the server maintenance costs.
The other option could be leasing a server as this will be cheaper than buying the server, but here as well we are responsible for all the maintenance and running costs of the server.
