Choose A Host That Matches Your Home Business Needs


Actually webhosting means if one compares the web to land hosing is the place where your office or website will be placed. Server is the computer which stores your website files and allows them to be viewed on clicking the link to your site.

With free hosting out of question for business and dedicated hosting being too expensive, shared hosting is the only and good option for home business. As the name suggests, in shared hosting your site is stored with many others unlike dedicated hosting which stores only your site.

This is the space on hard disk of your server that will be allotted to your site. Without graphics a typical web page occupies 40 – 50 Kb. Now 1000 kb = 1 MB. Allowing space for graphics too and need for any future expansion anything between 50 -100 MB should be good enough if you are not running a flashy website.

A very important aspect and often overlooked. This is the amount of actual data that can be transferred from the web server that holds your website. This lets you formulate an e-mail address on your site address e.g. anything@ your sitename.com where anything can be support, live support, help, info, subscribe etc. So these are the main things through which you can make things according to your demand.

Myths of Web Hosting


The internet is full of web hosting offers but many popular hosts are using unscrupulous advertising to mislead their customers and set them up for problems. If you are looking for a host for your web site the biggest hosting myths and how to avoid common mistakes. Myth 1: Unlimited bandwidth will solve everything

Bandwidth is the amount of information sent out to people on the internet; the more traffic your web site gets the more bandwidth it uses. Bandwidth costs money, so how much you pay for hosting depends on how much traffic you need to handle.

Your web page files are stored on a special computer called a server, which sends information out over the internet. Like all computers, the server has limits; it can only handle a certain amount of work. Give it too much traffic to handle and it will slow down and become unreliable.

Your actual maximum bandwidth might be quite low indeed. You’ll be sharing your server with many other accounts. If your account starts using too many resources, it’s very likely that you’ll be suspended or forced to upgrade to a much more expensive plan. So much for “unlimited” hosting!

Since offering unlimited bandwidth hosting is such a blatant misrepresentation, it’s not a good idea to use such hosts, regardless of how much traffic or disk space your site uses. If their business model depends on deception, can you trust them with your web pages? Even if your own site is small, other customers on your server may try to take advantage of the supposedly unlimited bandwidth and cause problems.

The Point Web Hosting Checklist


When we consider a web hosting company then it should mainly made up of different thing like first of all there should be a powerful technical support.

The other thing is that more uptime they guarantee, the better. 99% uptime is the minimum acceptable standard. I look for 99% plus guaranteed uptime.

Decide how much disk space you will require. A web page with one logo does not take up much web space at all. Calculate how big your web site is in relation to the disk space allotted.

The bandwidth is also important because this factor is usually overlooked until the bandwidth limit is reached. If you go over your allotted bandwidth, you will get a hefty bill. If you are running a site with lots of downloads, or a site with lots of images such at a photo post site, your bandwidth will be a lot higher than a site with mainly text.

Paying For ISP Internet Access


Selecting a proper isp service for paying is also an art because the typical small business web-site, four to seven pages, could choose a virtual hosting service with multiple email addresses, cgi-bin access and a T3 connection from the Internet for $19 to $27 per month. Most small businesses pick the managed server hosting packages which could range from $3.95 a month to $20 a month.

On other hand these hosting packages have all the administrative support that you need and all you have to worry about is the development of your web-site. You are given an FTP client to load your site to the internet.

Socket Security Certificates cost extra for secure transactions of the financial type through your web page and you expect to pay at least some dollars per month. The setup fees can be expensive and cost as much as more than $50, and sometimes more if you order special features. Large companies and high volume web sites pay more for certain types of services.

So you should be careful to choose a ISP provider.

WEB PAGES


A web page is a document or information resource that is suitable for the World Wide Web and can be accessed through a web browser and displayed on a monitor or mobile device. This information is usually in HTML or XHTML format, and may provide navigation to other web pages via hypertext links. Web pages frequently subsume other resources such as style sheets, scripts and images into their final presentation.

Web pages may be retrieved from a local computer or from a remote web server. The web server may restrict access only to a private network, e.g. a corporate intranet, or it may publish pages on the World Wide Web. Web pages are requested and served from web servers using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

Web pages may consist of files of static text and other content stored within the web server’s file system (static web pages), or may be constructed by server-side software when they are requested (dynamic web pages). Client-side scripting can make web pages more responsive to user input once on the client browser.

Web pages usually include information as to the colors of text and backgrounds and very often also contain links to images and sometimes other types of media to be included in the final view. Layout, typographic and color-scheme information is provided by Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) instructions, which can either be embedded in the HTML or can be provided by a separate file, which is referenced from within the HTML. The latter case is especially relevant where one lengthy style sheet is relevant to a whole website: due to the way HTTP works, the browser will only download it once from the web server and use the cached copy for the whole site. Images are stored on the web server as separate files, but again HTTP allows for the fact that once a web page is downloaded to a browser, it is quite likely that related files such as images and style sheets will be requested as it is processed. Web browsers usually render images along with the text and other material on the displayed web page.

A web page, as an information set, can contain numerous types of information, which is able to be seen, heard or interact by the end user.
Information provided:

      • Textual information: with diverse render variations.
      • Non-textual information:
        1. Static images may be raster graphics, typically GIF, JPEG or PNG; or vector formats such as SVG or Flash.
        2. Animated images typically Animated GIF and SVG, but also may be Flash, Shockwave, or Java applet.
        3. Audio, typically MP3, or various proprietary formats.
        4. Video, WMV, RM, FLV, MPG, MOV.
      • Interactive information.
        1. Interactive text.
        2. Interactive illustrations: ranging from “click to play” images to games, typically using script orchestration, Flash, Java applets, SVG, or Shockwave.
        3. Buttons: forms providing alternative interface, typically for use with script orchestration and DHTML.
        4. Hyperlinks: standard “change page” reactivity.
        5. Forms: providing more interaction with the server and server-side databases.
      • Internal (hidden) information:
        1. Comments
        2. Linked Files through Hyperlink.
        3. Metadata with semantic meta-information, Charset information, Document Type Definition (DTD), etc.
        4. Diagramation and style information: information about rendered items (like image size attributes) and visual specifications, as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
        5. Scripts, usually JavaScript, complement interactivity and functionality.

When creating a web page, it is important to ensure it conforms to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards for HTML, CSS, XML and other standards. The W3C standards are in place to ensure all browsers which conform to their standards can display identical content without any special consideration for proprietary rendering techniques. A properly coded web page is going to be accessible to many different browsers old and new alike, display resolutions, as well as those users with audio or visual impairments.

REAL ESTATE WEB PAGES


Real estate is “Property consisting of land and the buildings on it, along with its natural resources such as crops, minerals, or water; immovable property of this nature; an interest vested in this; an item of real property; buildings or housing in general. Also: the business of real estate; the profession of buying, selling, or renting land, buildings or housing.”

A web page or webpage is a document or information resource that is suitable for the World Wide Web and can be accessed through a web browser and displayed on a monitor or mobile device. This information is usually in HTML or XHTML format, and may provide navigation to other web pages via hypertext links. Web pages frequently subsume other resources such as style sheets, scripts and images into their final presentation.

Web pages may be retrieved from a local computer or from a remote web server. The web server may restrict access only to a private network, e.g. a corporate intranet, or it may publish pages on the World Wide Web. Web pages are requested and served from web servers using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

Web pages may consist of files of static text and other content stored within the web server’s file system, or may be constructed by server-side software when they are requested. Client-side scripting can make web pages more responsive to user input once on the client browser.

So basically real estate web pages would establish a real estate agency on World Wide Web.

Property realtors want to convey the message that they’re reliable and well-established. They want home buyers to feel that they will be purchasing property from a company that’s dependable, steadfast and time-tested. That’s why most of them opt for a classic and sophisticated theme for their websites, rather than a sleek, modern theme.

DOMAIN NAME : One of the most important things in a web site is the domain name. In a perfect world the perfect domain for you will be realestates.com but nowadays you have to satisfy with some additions like myname-realestate or realestate2000 or other that matches you specific activities.

WEB SITE DESIGN : The next step is to make the site design. It’s important when a visitor comes to your site you have to keep his attention it can be done by using light, soft colors and a slogan like “We are probably the best …” These things will put you in better position in your visitor’s mind.

Structure of a web site:

WEB SITE MENU : The site must have a main menu near the header where the visitors can find basic information about your company.

Don’t put in that menu secondary information like Terms and conditions, you can put it in additional menu.

SEARCH FACILITY : The search engine is very important especially if you have a big number of properties. It’s good if it keeps the visitor’s previously search – for example if he search for all properties of type Apartments and he gets 120 results then it’s good if he can choose region London and the search engine shows him all the apartments from region London which are 90. Then if he can choose the property price range the search will tighten the results to 20. And here is his apartment!

If there are a lot of common characteristics of the properties you can place all of one kind in the left or right column.

NEWS : The news section is useful for the search engines, they like to know if your site is being updated recently and they will thank for your efforts in their search engine results.

NEWSLETTER : The same is for your visitors. You can send them your latest properties or you can just send them greetings. So they will know they are important for you and you hold on them.

PROPERTY LISTING : In the property listing – for example in the home page as Special Offers or in the search results usually the visitor gets a number of properties and you have to help him to decide which property is for him. Usually you put a part of the information here – for example the property name, a short description, price or other.

Once he had chosen a property there you must show him complete information.

PROPERTY DETAILS : Every visitor will be pleased to find complete information about the property he is interested in. Give as much detailed information as you can. Place an image of the property also.

You can also add some files for download such as price lists, brochures or other key information; it would be good if you place your contact information in case of further visitor’s interest.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES : In your real estate web site you can place also many other helpful information which can be useful for your visitors to reach you easily. Such as:
Property enquiry form – where the visitors can send their enquiries

Submit property form – where they can submit their own property for sale or rent. Etc.
