I want to start a web based business (website), what is the best way to approach this?

I want to start a website. Is there a way I can run the web hosting myself or would it be best to hire someone? If I have to hire someone, who is the best?

I think it depends on what kind of business you are interested in starting. Will you be selling something on-line (i.e. retailer) or will it be for information (possibly for a brick and mortar)?





IMO an on-line retail site would be more difficult to set up, but it is possible for you to run and host it. I use %26#039;DreamHost%26#039; which has the ability to host your site and set up retailer shopping carts.





An Information site will be easy, since all you have to do is create pages telling about your services, and include contact information - either an email or an on line form someone can fill out.





As for hiring someone, that will cost some money to create, design, and host. In addition you will need to go back to them from time to time in order to make changes. In NYC a freelancer can charge anywhere from $25/hr and up; plus hosting costs.

may I suggest something even esasier? All you have to do is sign up for something like this, and your web site is provided. Then get the URL out to as many as you can. I learned about the product because it actually is an excellent one and I use it myself. Now I just tell people where it is (as many as I can) and they come to me.
Reply:Are you looking to start your own biz with your own product or are you happy working as an affiliate? Personally I make (and can prove it!) several thousands a month working as an affiliate for different online affiliate programs. I have it all centralized at my main page ( Instant-Residual-Income.com ).If you would like a FREE 100% customizable website like that go to http://www.instant-residual-income.net and sign up today. You%26#039;ll get several programs to promote and you will get a great webhost. I have not experienced any downtime ever!

Reply:hi my name is james, first you might wnat to see if the product or service you are trying to sell, will sell!!, and do this without spending a lot of money,





this is how i started out . i had a product i wanted to sell on the web. but didn%26#039;t have alot of money, and was%26#039;nt to sure if i had a hit product, so i went to yahoo auctions, because you can sell your product on yahoo auctions for free, unlike ebay. and this will tell you if you have a product that people want and it%26#039;s no money out of your pocket. this was 5 months ago, now im making $500.00 to $600.00 every month, and this is just parttime,








go to yahoo auctions and put in rai_wood and hit enter


this is my free auction site





it%26#039;s free take advantag

I tried to ftp my web page files but were rejected because some of them have spaces in the file names. Help!?

Renaming the files is not practical since I have hundreds of them. Any suggestion? Or if you know off any Windows based web hosting sites?


Please help!

Try file namer freewares, they can easily rename several files with just one click...





I use ReNamer which is a small, yet very flexible file and folder renamer, that offers all the standard renaming procedures, including prefixes, suffixes, replacements, case changes as well as advanced options and support for Unicode file names. In addition, it can also remove brackets, add number sequences, remove digits or symbols and change file extensions. The program allows you to combine multiple renaming actions as a rule set, applying each action in logical sequence. Renamer supports 30 different meta fields, including EXIF, ID3 and others, that can be used as part of the new file name. Advanced users can use PascalScript to program their own renaming rules.

the only way to fix it is to take out the spaces. while they have spaces they wont work, u%26#039;ll have to rename them all
Reply:I%26#039;m sorry to tell you this, but depending on to where you are trying to upload the files, you may have to rename them. I have encountered several situations in ftp and database operations where file names with spaces cause errors. The best practice I have found, and one that is widely used in industry, is to use an underscore (my_file_name) as a place holder wherever you would normally have a space. Even if you are able to get around renaming them now, I would do it eventually, otherwise you are likely to run into this problem again.
Reply:wrap the filename in quotes
Reply:From what I know, Some Hosting companies do not allow this, When I used Yahoo Hosting, I had to do a batch rename
Reply:You will always have trouble with spaces in file names. You should never use a space in a file name, especially on the internet. Many web hosts will not even allow them to open to view.


Can you help me learn more about my web stats for my website?

I am trying to learn more about web hosting and all the technical stuff in the frontend of the business. but I am a designer not a techie and have no idea where to start. So here are some things-





When I click on my web stats I get this info about each visitor- could you please decipher teh information (some of it is common sense...but what is hte HTTP code, explain the version...why does everything come up mozilla...?


%26quot;


/introscreen34.swf


Http Code: 200 Date: Jan 02 15:15:42 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: 722372


Referer: http://www.isolatedfilmproductions.com/


Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 %26quot;





Why does IP information sometime show locations so different than the actual site of the page viewer- A friend looks up my site and his computer is in Iowa but the IP information says the viewer is in Texas? Can anyone explain this to me?
Can you help me learn more about my web stats for my website?
http code: 200 means - ok no problems, if this code was different e.g. 404 would mean error the file cannot be found, there are others





Some of the stuff like date and size in bytes is self-explanatory.





the referrer is where u came from to access the page, or in this case ur .swf flash file.





ur agent is ur browser followed by computer info





the IP address location is of the ISP not your physical computer location all those sharing the same ISP will have the same location.
Can you help me learn more about my web stats for my website?
IP addresses change frequently. this way the IP registry info also changes which results in incorrect location details.





if you want to track you site visotor details with up-to-date location details as well, you can try MaxCounter.com. I use their service on my site.

no ideas, but when all else fails, you could copy and paste the HTML code from Frontpage. Just an idea, there may be another way! :)


I am looking for a web host.... How much space do you think I need? Best Webhosts?

I am creating a website for a dance studio... and I am looking at these packages at 1 and 1 host. I am not sure how much space I am going to need, but I am guessing that I don%26#039;t need much... should i buy the 1%26amp;1 home package or the 1%26amp;1 business package....

I use 1 and 1, they are a great company. I think you should choose the home package and you can always upgrade if you need it.

Hi,


before you tie yourself to 1%26amp;1, maybee you should check out hostmee.com, a very under rated web hosting company with great bonuses and i think youll love the price,





just a suggestion, ive been with them a while and their customer support is fantastic.
Reply:I have just started my own home based candle making business and I used godaddy.com for my website. I called customer service and they completely walked me thru what i would need and how to get it started. they also had very reasonable prices.
Reply:Try dreamhost http://dreamhost.pinologic.com to compare.
Reply:I have used 1%26amp;1 for ages now. I%26#039;ve used a lot of other hosting companies including GoDaddy but haven%26#039;t found anything as good as 1%26amp;1.





Now i%26#039;ll tell you why...





They offer outstanding value for money. Even their basic home package comes packed with features and even includes a free domain name!!!





They are reliable and my sites haven%26#039;t gone down once in the whole time i%26#039;ve used them. I own over 20 domains and reliability is very important to me.





Their customer service is excellent. Everytime i%26#039;ve dealt with someone they%26#039;ve been polite, helpful and honest.





For your needs I would go with the 1%26amp;1 home package. You can easily upgrade later. To be honest the basic home package comes with more features than you will probably need (but they%26#039;re there if you need them).

there are plenty of free webhosts but you wont find any that offer free domain names.





best bet for domain names is to google search %26#039;godaddy coupons%26#039; and find a $1 off coupon or something.

Reply:log on to www.llandric.com, you will be able to have a branded website almost immediately and sell domain names and hosting at prices you set. they also give you tools for creating websites for your clients, and about 150 PHP scripts for easy install of things like forums, blogs, calenders, e-commerce and more
Reply:I think you should become a domain name and webhost reseller. So you when you design the site. You can make money on the hosting and domain name. I used makemoneysellingdomainnames.com But it seems like you don%26#039;t want to spend any money. You can try tripod or geocities but I don%26#039;t think you will be able to get a free domain name anywhere.


How to identify the OS of a web server?

I would like to find-out what server version the web hosting company I have my site on is using. Is there a web utility I can use to detect this?
How to identify the OS of a web server?
It is contained (to some extent) in the %26quot;Server%26quot; header of the HTTP response. Try http://web-sniffer.net to view the HTTP headers for a given URL.
How to identify the OS of a web server?
They usually let you know on their site, and you could always ask them yourself instead of going through the trouble of finding out..
Reply:Just go to the home page and do a CTRL U
Reply:The best way is to just ask your host.





However you do do this to test if you are on Windows or Linux





create a file and name it %26quot;test.asp%26quot;





and copy and paste the following code into the file





%26lt;%


Response.Write Request.ServerVariables (%26quot;SERVER_SOFTWARE%26quot;)


%%26gt;





and save it and upload it to your server





Then pull up the page by going to





http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/test.asp





Now if you get an error, or you just see the same thing as above then you are very likely on LINUX. If the script works then it should display your windows version
