5.88Webhosting.com: A New Hosting Service

Hi Everyone:

We finally launched our much anticipated hosting plan where we’re providing high quality and inexpensive webhosting for service business owners and managers who need to host their websites.

Many folks have asked me over the past few years where they should host their websites. Although there are many hosting companies around (some good and some bad), they all seem to have one thing in common…and that is that the world is their market. In other words, they go after any and all customers which means that they have to offer multiple plans and multiple options for the many different types of customers that are out there. And this my friends, is enough to make your head spin.

What I’ve done at 5.88Webhosting.com is simplify hosting by providing… (click the link below to continue)

just one hosting package and focusing our attention on service business owners like window cleaners, carpet cleaners, landscapers, maid services, and the dozens of other types of service businesses out there.

And as you can tell from the website name, the pricing is right. I believe very strongly in being able to provide attractive pricing and high quality. Companies can do both, but oftentimes that’s not the case.

Speaking about quality, the webservers that I purchased for 5.88Webhosting.com are managed by true experts in their field. The servers are at their own datacenter in the U.S.A and my technical staff monitors the servers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

This may not mean much to you, but if you’ve ever had your website go down or be offline, you’ll realize the importance of what I just said. I’ve used a number of different hosting companies over the years and I can tell you that websites going offline is very real. And there’s nothing more frustrating then knowing that your prospects and customers may be visiting your website only to being seeing a 404 page not found error.

So when choosing a hosting company, it’s important to treat that company as your partner in business. It’s not the time to get a poor quality hosting plan run in a back room in india somewhere. After all, as I’m always preaching about, image is everything. And what kind of image can you portray if a customer who visits your website never knows if it’s going to be online or offline?

I’m even moving the entire website of The Customer Factor over to these new servers in a few days. Think I would do that if I knew for even a minute that these servers weren’t high quality? Keep in mind that 500 + members use The Customer Factor regularly. That translates into tens of thousands of bits of data which need to be backed up regularly and secured plus of course be online all the time so that members can login and take care of business.

Bottom line…if you host your website with 5.88webhosting.com, your website will be secure and online 100% of the time for the world to see.

And if you don’t have a website yet, we need to talk. Every single window cleaner reading this blog post should have a website or be in the process of putting a website together. Back in the 90′s, prospects were picking up the phone book looking for your services. Not anymore.

I read an article in the USA Today recently that mentioned some communities don’t even want phone books delivered to the residents. Although the yellow pages probably won’t disappear totally, millions of people are simply firing up google to search for what they want. So if you are not online with a website, you will lose potential customers.

I know window cleaners who rely only on the internet to make the phone ring. I personally recommend that you spread yourself out and never lock yourself into just one marketing method. It’s best to have multiple marketing methods working for you because if one method slips a little bit, the other methods will pick up the slack.

But with that said, as I mentioned, I do know window cleaners who secure jobs simply as a result of their website. So if you don’t have a website yet, I really encourage you to do so as soon as possible. Then host that website with our new hosting service at 5.88webhosting.com and you’ll be all set.

As an added incentive to both use our hosting plan and to get a website online (assuming you don’t have one), I even have a point and click website builder that you can take advantage of. It’s included free with your hosting plan purchase. Just another reason to hop on board.

If you do happen to have a webhosting plan currently and you’re reasonably happy with it, then do a quick price comparison between 5.88Webhosting.com and your current hosting company. With our pricing as low as $3.88, we’re a bit tough to compete against. 

Before ending this blog post, I would like to spend a couple of minutes talking about “free” hosting plans that are offered out there.

Free website hosting plans are a type of web hosting service where you get free web space on a company’s hosting server to host your web site. Although technically it’s “free”, is it really though?

There are several disadvantages to using free hosting. To start with, there are limited webhosting features available. In addition, the hosting company usually uses forced banner ads, text links, popups or some other type of advertising on your website.  They have to cover their costs and make a profit somehow, right?

So do you really want your prospects and customers who visit your website to see unrelated ads that having nothing to do with window cleaning? What kind of an image does this portray? When I see a website on a free hosting plan (you can tell right away), the first thing I think of is what a cheapo. If that person can’t invest a few bucks into legitimate hosting, chances are his business isn’t too successful because he’s cutting corners in all the wrong places.

Now there are few free hosting plans that don’t have ads appear on your website, but they do have to try and make a profit in someway, so they may display ads that you’ll see when you’re in your control panel or they’ll send you email ads. Or they’ll require you to post in their forum.

And finally, most of the “free” webhosting providers over the years have proven to not have reliable webservers. As mentioned above, you need your websites to be online and available for viewing 100% of the time. It’ll mean lost profits if you don’t.

So is getting “free” webhosting worth it? Only you can ultimately answer that, but if you care about your company’s image and you place a lot of importance on a visitor to your website being assured that they can actually see your website, then no, it’s not worth it. Spend a few bucks and do it right.

If you have any questions on our hosting plan being offered at 5.88webhosting.com, please let me know. You can call us at 256-546-2446 or send us an email: info@5.88webhosting.com.

Have a great day.

Steve
