SEO Blog, Web Hosting & Website Development Guide

Archive for October, 2010

There comes a time when the internet bug hits us all and we tend to acquire a wealth of domain names and web sites to feed our frenzy.

We start out with the best intentions, set up a personal home page with a few details about ourselves, then create more for our family, then our business and before we know it we have several domain names and web sites spread across several web hosting companies.

A more convenient approach would be to set yourself up with a reseller account with one hosting company.

Most people assume that to have a reseller account, you need to be in the business of selling hosting. This is not true. Anyone can set up a reseller account and enjoy the benefits of saving money and also having the convenience of only dealing with one company for all your hosting needs.

I’ll take my hosting reseller http://www.HostingRevolution.com as an example. They provide a very competitive reseller account priced at $35. Their Reseller’s Package allows you to host 100 Domains. You are allowed to give every Domain you host up to 20GB’s of monthly transfer and up to 2.5GB of storage.

Previously I had over ten domain names and associated web sites that were costing me around $5 – $10 a month to host. The average months hosting costs were around $50 – $60. Therefore, by setting up a reseller account and transferring my domains and web sites over to my reseller account I made an instant saving of $15 a month.

Now, another extension of this would be to start selling hosting to your friends, after all, you have a reseller account. So if you have ten friends, ask them if they would like web hosting on your server, maybe offer it free to them and ask them to recommend your services to their friends, these can then become “paying” customers. Now YOU can get people to pay for hosting and make back the monthly reseller fee. Just sell ten accounts for $3 a month and you have instant income of $30 to offset the $35 reseller fee you are paying. So you get hosting for $5 a month for as many domains and sites as you like.

So, with the reseller account you have helped yourself, helped your friends, and possibly started making money as well.

Free image hosting is a service which allows people to upload pictures to an internet website for free. The image host service will take the picture and place it on their server, and codes will be provided which will allow others to see the image. Since a large number of people don’t have webspace, image hosting services have become quite popular. As blogs, forums, and other forms of interactive media become more widespread, many people are looking for free image hosting. There are a large number of image hosting services online, and many of them are free of charge.

The way image hosting works is relatively simple. The service allows you to browse your computer to select any image you want. Once you select the images you want to upload, you will need to click on a button to place the image on the server. Some image hosting companies will allow yout to upload multiple images simultaneously. Other will allow you to upload ZIP files. Once the image has been placed on the server, you will be shown ways to show it to others. There are three basic ways this is done. These three methods are using a BBcode, a clickable thumbnail, or an HTML code.

There will typically be restrictions placed on how large the image can be, and the bandwidth used by each user may be limited as well. Because of bandwidth costs, services which are free usually place limits on the sizes of the images. Paid services typically allow you to upload images which are much larger in comparison. In addition to uploading your images, many hosting services also allow you to create galleries for your images, while others may offer slideshows. Some will allow you to add notes with the images, and users may also be able to adjust the image size.

The vast majority of image hosting services are free, and may support their service via advertising. Others may allow you to upload smaller images for free, but may charge in order to upload larger pictures. One good service which offers free image hosting is Free Pic Hosting at freepichosting.info. They will allow you to upload files such as TIFF, JPEG, JPG, and GIF. Many free image hosting services offer features which rival services which are paid. Uploading your images for others to see can be fun, and allows you to spread you ideas. Image hosting is very similar to photo sharing, and allows images to be showcased in an organized manner.

Image hosting is an online service which is expected to grow. Photos have always been a great way to express your ideas or emotions, and offer many things that words cannot express. Many webmasters will need image hosting services in order to place photos or pictures on their websites. Because of the cost of bandwidth, many people are looking for free services which will allow them to upload their pictures. Image hosting services are also a great way to advertise your products or services.

Have ever searched your favorite search engine for “expired domain”, “domain names”, and / or “deleted domains names”?

Remember, the domain name of that expired site is what we’re interested in. The webmaster that owned the promoted and we’re assuming that the webmaster’s site will soon gain a Google page rank of 1 or better. Therefore, one site owner’s trash will be a domain name reseller’s internet treasure.

The more popular that your free general website links directory is, the more junk website submissions you’ll receive, and the better your chances at expired domain name reseller success will be.
