Internet Marketing Tool 1 - Web Host Provider Review
Web hosting is an internet marketing tool and service that all online businesses must select and I would like to make that decision very easy for you. HostGator, Founded in 2002, with its recognizable Alligator logo is easily one of the best web host providers of quality web hosting service packages.
HostGator has grown from its roots as a small provider with 3 servers to over 5000 servers and a customer base that ranges from individuals to Fortune 500 companies. HostGator as one of the best web host providers also leads the way in the area of environmental responsibility and Green Web Hosting.
Their efforts to neutralize their environmental impact include the replacement of old servers with highly efficient models and the use of Renewable Energy Credits to power and cool their servers. All of their servers are 130% wind powered.
1. Price Value - To meet the hosting budget needs of the individual and small business, HostGator provides their Hatchling package at the regular price of $4.95 per month. This package offers unlimited disk space and bandwidth with one domain allowed.
If this requirement is too restrictive, you would be wiser to use the Baby package instead when making your web site hosting provider comparisons. The Baby package is regularly priced at $7.95 per month and ofers unlimited domains.
The Business Plan starts at $12.95 per month and offers free dedicated SSL & IP and a toll-free number. All of HostGator's web hosting services are provided on a non-contract basis with no hidden fees and come with a 45-Day Money Back Guarantee.
2. Server Reliability - To meet their commitment of a 99.9% Uptime Guarantee, HostGator houses their server operations in world-class datacenters where top of the line technology is used to ensure all systems remain at top efficiency and are adequately cooled.
Redundant power systems, HVAC and fire detection systems, along with 24/7 monitoring by both HostGator and The Planet's network operations center ensure that problems are quickly identified and corrected.
HostGator's fully redundant and meshed Cisco Certified network architecture features 10 backbone and fiber providers to ensure the web sites hosted on their quality web hosting service are always available.
3. Control Panel - HostGator uses the highly popular and widely used CPanel as the control panel for their offerings. Cpanel is considered to be one of the best rated web hosting control panels available and is known for its user-friendly and easy to use features.
4. Supported Software - CGI-BIN, Fast CGI, Server Side Includes, Frontpage, PHP 5, MySQL Databases, Perl, Python, Ruby on Rails, SSH, Cron, Curl, GD, Image Magick, Joomla, WordPress Friendly!.

Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category?
- Hi Kevin,
Like GT suggested, I also think you can add Internet Marketing as a sub category in the Marketing section and also a Social marketing as subcategory.
Online marketing/internet marketing/online promotion are the same, and it will be best to use the common term - Internet marketing.
I can't think about someone to moderate a Social Marketing category. We all use it, we all know how to make it work and we all have our own different experience with it.
Internet Marketing Conference on SLife
- I've been trying to log in but it keeps crashing.. anyways..
a friend of mine in BC plans on holding Internet Marketing Conferences on SecondLife and have the same top internet marketers that would normally be in Live Internet Marketing conference speak.
Income will be generated from admission charges, product sales during breaks, sponsor tables, etc etc..
Just to get the ideas flowing in your head that anything you can do in the real world can be replicated in SL.
There is no planned date as of yet for this conference.
Re: Hi from a Manhattan coach
- Hi Julie,
Welcome to the forum, it's great to have you here and thank you for telling us a little about yourself. You sound like a very enthusiastic person who likes what she does and in Internet Marketing that is very important and you also sound like a 'people person' which is great.
Internet Marketing is time consuming and challenging but can also be extremely rewarding and hopefully profitable. I don't know how many forums you have signed up to but this is one of the best. The support and guidance you get here is what makes it the success that it is but as I am sure you know from looking at the side bar that there are many aspects of business that are catered for here which will help you along the way,
best wishes,
Mal.
Re: How many mambers of this forum are also member of WF?
- Hi Kevin,
I have to agree with Tanny. All forums are unique in their own way, but doesn't mean that one is better than the other. What you might get out of one forum, you may not get from another. For instance, the WF focuses on Internet Marketing, while this forum focuses on Entrepreneurship. Each has their own set of benefits. I don't think you can really compare one to the other, unless of course they focused on the same topic. I have learned a lot from this forum, stuff I would never have gotten from the WF. With that being said, I've learned a lot from the WF, specifically since I need to know about Internet Marketing and running an online business. The addition of the Online Business forum here will help, and Jeff is doing a great job as moderator.
Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category?
- Hi Everyone,
2009 is a new year and I'd like to create a new forum category to jazz things up! In the past, there's been some interest voiced about adding a "Social Media Marketing", "Online Marketing", "Internet Marketing" or "Online Promotion" category.
I'll implement [u:1g2tv6tf]ONE[/u:1g2tv6tf] of those new categories, but can someone first tell me what the difference would be between the existing "Marketing" section and one of those new options mentioned above?
Thanks
