How to Get Your Website Online

[almalah]

There are two things you need to do before you can upload your website

Choose a good domain name

The most obvious point is your domain name needs to be related to your website theme,
and choosing a domain name that has your most generic keyword phrase is going to
depend on availability. In the example we used earlier for choosing keywords, we had
these 3 keywords:
− Diamond
− Diamond Ring
− 3 Stone Diamond Ring
A quick check on GoDaddy (one of the cheapest domain name registrars online)
revealed that diamond.com and diamond−ring.com were not available, but
3−stone−diamond−ring.com was available. The only problem being it’s not all that
inspiring and it’s quite limiting in terms of a website theme. When settling on a domain
for your website, try all the combinations you possibly can, bearing in mind the following:
− Separating the words with a hyphen makes the domain easier to read… There’s two
parts to optimizing your site for the search engines:
i. The domain must mean something to the search engines and be related to your
website theme.
ii. After all that hard work getting your website into the top 10 search results there’s
no point putting the surfer off with a crappy domain name − You want a domain
name that’s easy to read.
− No matter how readable your domain name is, to make sure it gets the surfer’s
attention it better scream “click me” and to do that it needs to offer the surfer an
implied benefit, like saving money, for example:
Affordable−Diamond−Rings.com – which as it happened was available when I
wrote this.
“OK, OK Affordable−Diamond−Rings.com is not the loudest screamer on the block”,
but you get the idea – use an implied benefit in the domain to get the surfers interest.
If your domain name is interesting, the surfer will click your listing (out of curiosity
more than anything else) which sends them to a page with good content and once
they’ve finished reading that you want them to leave your page via an Adsense ad.

Choose a good host
Hosting is not the big bad problem it was a few years ago. The rapid advancements in
technology have made it readily available, more reliable and it’s getting cheaper every
year.
For any website that earns money from Google Adsense ads, your biggest issue is going
to be one of cost. You’re not going to stop at one website… You’re going to build plenty
of them; after all they only take a day or two to build and upload, and can be earning an
income within days if you’ve chosen good keywords, but certainly within a few weeks if
you pursue an aggressive linking campaign.
The issue then is how many domains can you host on one hosting account?
Sure, you need to make sure the hosting company has generator backup in case of
power outages and redundant back−up systems so that in the event of an Internet
connection interruption, an alternate Internet connection takes over.
You also need to make sure you have adequate disk space and bandwidth, but the thing
to remember with Adsense sites is you aren’t letting people download big files; your
traffic is just people visiting your websites and if you use the minimum of graphics and
keep your logos small, your website won’t use much bandwidth at all.
Because most websites don't take up a lot of resources, some web hosts have decided
to offer top quality hosting packages which allow unlimited domains, for example the
Ultra Hosting package from Lock Vault Hosting. When you consider that most hosting
costs anywhere between $3.95 to $7.50 per website per month you don't have to be a
genius at math to realize hosting is a substantial cost, and unlimited domain hosting is
the way to go.
