when Starting your Work At Home Business
By © Arthur, The Online Biz Home
Many NEW Work At Home Business Entrepreneur NEVER realize the important
of having CONTROL of their Domain Name when they pay for their Web Hosting
Package.
A Domain Name is your MOST important asset because that is HOW web customers
will find you. Eventually, the Search Engine and your Web Customers
will associate your Domain Name with your Work At Home Business and imagine
HOW much business you will lose if you lost control of it.
What should you look out for when you Register
a Domain Name via a Hosting Firm?
The most important thing if you did not register your Domain Name directly,
asked for the REGISTRAR website and the USER and PASSWORD so that you can
manage the domains DIRECTLY.
Be careful, especially when the FREE PROMOTIONS for signing up is FREE
DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION. Make sure you send an email to check
whether you'll be given the REGISTRAR USER and PASSWORD.
Don't be caught in situation where the Hosting Company hold your Domain
Name hostage after providing bad services to you as you'll be unable to
SWITCH HOSTING without giving up your DOMAIN NAME as they have register
your Domain Name under their name.
With the REGISTRAR web site and the LOGIN information you'll have CONTRAL
as you can change your bad hosting easily.
To change your hosting services:
1. First, get your new hosting account and don't cancel the old
hosting account until your switch is completed.
2. The switch may take 48 hours. Before making the change,
note down the old HOST IP ADDRESS by doing a ping on your Windows dos prompt.
For e.g. ping www.web-site-marketing.com
After changing to the new HOST do a ping again and the IP ADDRESS should
be different.
3. Now, proceed to login to your REGISTRAR web site and search
for the section which have the labeled MANAGED DOMAINS, UPDATE DOMAIN INFORMATION
or something that sound similiar.
What you need to do is to change the NAMESERVER listing to the nameservers
that your new HOST have assigned to you. The NAMESERVER is the part
of the HOST server that inform the world the IP ADDRESS that your DOMAIN
NAME is located. This will probably be similiar to your HOST DOMIAN
NAME.
For e.g.
ns1.newhosting.com and
ns2.newhosting.com
ns stands for NAMESERVER.
4. After making sure that the SWITCH is complete, you can proceed
to cancel your old HOST and your web site and your SEARCH ENGINE RANKING
will not be AFFECTED by the transition.
Usually, a large and established web hosting company like Site
Build It are more reliable and they will specify before hand on their
website that the Domain Name will be yours.
Be on a look out for such guarantee on your chosen Web hosting Website:
Purchase Site
Build It! today. Use it. Even register your domain name (it's included
in the price).
If at any point in time SBI! does not exceed your expectations, we will
refund you immediately and you can keep the domain name that you registered
as our thank-you for giving us a chance at your business.
Only by trying can you discover what you and SBI! will accomplish together.
And we take all the risk while you try.
No other package comes with this Guarantee of Success, because quite
frankly, there is nothing else that compares to Site
Build It!.
Therefore, for small web hosting or not so well known company without
any guarantee, the best way if you are serious of Starting your Work At
Home Business Online, is to SEPARATE your Domain
Name Registration with your Web Hosting Provider as to avoid any unnecessary
dispute when you want to change your Web Hosting Provider. It might
cost a little bit more money to separate them but it will be money well
spend.
Wishing you success in Starting your Work At Home Business Online.
