Tips for link building to speed up keyword ranking

It’s like high school all over again – with popularity the name of the game.  In the world of search engine optimisation (SEO) you need others to confirm that your website (and therefore your business) is a great destination.

On the web, this means links.  Links from another site to yours. Also known as backlinks.

So – how do you get backlinks from these types of site to improve your ranking?

Linked to sites that gets involved

This can take true commitment and the links back to you will take time, but getting involved in your local community is a great way to get to know the people in that community, network and support other organisations.

The outcome you want is a mention (and with it, a link) on their website, and in any material published elsewhere, of course. Make sure you ask them to give you a link from the relevant content on their website as not all of these groups will think to do it as a matter of course.

  • Host a local event – seminars, charitable or community events and get your co-sponsors or supporters to promote it (with a link to the information about the event on your site).
  • Sponsor local schools, sports team or not for profit such as an animal rescue organisation. Make sure there is a link back to your site from theirs and in any promo material.
  • Start a discount/product partnership with a local organisation.
  • Contact local media and offer your expertise as a source for their work.
  • Offer to speak at a local educational institute (such as a night class).

In all cases, the idea is for your business name and a link to your website to be on any/all material published on-line about the event. It doesn’t have to be flashy, just a simple text link will suffice (see the bit about anchor text below).

If you are already involved in your local community, it will be a case of asking people for these links to be included – easy!

Create useful resources

This means having something on your website that is useful to people such as:

1. A map, guide or list of local:

  • Tourist sites of interest.
  • Retail/shopping areas with free WiFi spots.
  • Events and activity based attractions.
  • Business meeting rooms and locations.
  • Key buildings or destinations.
  • Cultural attractions.

2. A guide through local by-laws or how to get something done using local businesses and organisations with contact details and web links in a step-by-step instruction

3. Video how-to’s and tutorials for standard tasks that everyone needs to be able to do from DIY home improvement to changing the printer ink cartridges.  You can refer to local suppliers within the video if you want to make it more relevant and useful to people within a specific area.

If possible, when creating this content, think of something related to your business because then you can include some of your expertise into the mix e.g.:

  • GST calculator (bookkeepers).
  • Tax return and payment due date tables (accountants).
  • Phone system cost calculators (telecommunication companies).
  • Building cost estimators (builders or quantity surveyors).
  • How to change a tap washer video (plumbers).
  • Styling tips (personal stylist).

The idea with these types of resources is that other people who find them useful will link to them, rather than create their own.

For example, we’re looking at one of our most popular blog posts How much will that website cost? to see if it can be turned into an on-line calculator so people can estimate the cost of a build based on their individual needs.

Leverage the relationships you already have

If you’ve spent time building a mutually positive relationship with a client or supplier then it is easier to ask them to help build both your businesses, than it is to ask a relative stranger.

Provide glowing (but honest) testimonials for any local business you interact with in return for a link on the testimonial when they publish it on their website. And who doesn’t want more testimonials on their site?

This can include whoever you have used:

  • For your office fit-out or furniture.
  • Set up your computer systems or provided a laptop.
  • Cleaning your offices.
  • Your signage, printing or other design work.
  • Catered lunch or an event or even delivers your coffee!
  • Organised your insurance.
  • Took care of your plumbing, electrical, painting or other property related services.
  • Did copy writing work for you.
  • Printed your logo on pens, t-shirts and corporate gifts.

Or, you could offer something to help their content efforts, such as guest posts for their blog (if they have one).

And be sure to ask to be listed on any preferred vendors or partner pages.

Great ways to bring more visitors to your website

It takes work, sometimes quite hard word, to get more people to visit your website. But to make it easier – we’re giving you a dozen ways to do it.

1. Create great content

People want information. That means content.

Not just good sales copy about what your company offers, but content that helps them out in some way.

People love content so much they will actively hunt it down.

You want them to find you when they do this.

And to attract them, your site needs a blog, tips, FAQs or resource section – or even better, all of the above!

You have to publish things that people want to read about, which isn’t normally the same as the stuff the organisational hierarchy have a strong opinion about, so:

  • Ask reception or customer service staff
  • Look at sites like Quora.com for questions frequently asked
  • Think about what you’re asked all the time by friends, family and associates
  • A radical thought – ask your customers directly.

Then create content that answers those questions.

Organic Search Traffic

Organic traffic is that which comes from people clicking on the (non-paid) search result links.

Most effective, websites with healthy visitor numbers, have a good proportion of visits coming from organic search.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is everything you do to make your site a more attractive destination in the search engines eyes – i.e to get you good search result rankings. Some of the strategies above are necessary to improve your search rankings and grow organic traffic.

But in addition, your site should be optimised for search – which means getting all the technical bits right so the site is an attractive destination for the search engines. This includes:

  • Unique landing page for each product or service offering
  • Search friendly URLs
  • Canonical URLs
  • Unique title tags and descriptions
  • Appropriate use of keywords in the above, but also in headings and content body
  • Clean, fast loading code

Get out and be social

People do business with people, so make sure you are where your customers hang out – whether it be Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter or Pinterest.

Being active on social networks means being the face of the business so get someone who is an appropriate spokesperson – not just the youngest, hippest person on the team!

Like the website itself, you will need to promote your Facebook page or Pinterest page, and reach out to build your Twitter/LinkedIn communities. This can be done via competitions and giveaways, or actively reaching out to individuals. It depends on the platform.

Once you’ve written your excellent content, share it on these social media platforms so that it is exposed to more people. Include social sharing buttons on your website so it is easier for readers to share it for you.

Interact and join discussions – if you comment intelligently on content or discussions that are directly related to your business, and if you back it up with helpful content on your website – then this can be very effective.

However, it can be time consuming, and too many people comment on blogs and forums just for the sake of it so pick your platforms and discussions carefully. If your content answers a question you can also link to it in your response to questions or discussions..

Become a video star

A blog post or article that answers a common question can be re purposed as video or Slideshare content. And for complex services, a picture paints a thousand words.

Have a product? Are you a location based business? A video is a great way to show them off.

Set up a You Tube or Vimeo channel to post your video, and include prompts to visit the site or subscribe to your channel for further updates. Video content also contributes to search visibility.

Good video can take a while to prepare and you need the right tools to do it. Alternatively there are video creation companies that will do it for you.

Attract referrals from other sites

Referred visitors are a bit the same as referrals in the offline world. They vary in quality but can be a very effective way of attracting visitors to your site and getting leads.

Referrals are when another site places a link from their site to yours – when someone clicks on that link they will show up in Google Analytics as a referred visit.

Get repeat visitors

Don’t forget that it can be cheaper to get more business from your existing client base than it is to win someone who has not dealt with you before.

Make sure you have some of your website dedicated to providing good support and service to your existing customers.

Include regular updates and fresh content on your site so people come back for more – even if they weren’t ready to buy what you offer the first time they visit, over time they will become familiar with your content and your business. And knowing is the first step in the know-like-trust process.

Email newsletters with links to your latest blog or article is a great way to a) get material for your newsletter and b) send people to your website where they can spend time reading about your offers that might be relevant to them.

Tips to get inspired from content writing

Finding writing inspiration isn’t as hard as you thought it might be. Even your everyday activities can inspire you in a way. Check out our tips on how to get that creative juices flowing:

Plan Out the Topics You Want to Write About

Before creating your briefs, you might want to plan out the topics of your content first. Creating a concept map can help you with your writing process. The map should include the three main ideas that a writer should consider: task analysis, thinking, and planning, then writing.

It can be in the form of mind maps or spider diagrams if your ideas have no particular order. Start with your main topic in the middle then branch out. Vertical charts and flow charts are useful if your written piece has to follow a step-by-step process.

Once you have all the points all laid down, you’ll be able to find new connections and enable you to work out a logical structure. At the same time, you’ll get inspired to find the right words to express your points.

Write a Lot and Often

Don’t stop writing even if you run out of ideas. Try your best to write every day. You can improve your thinking process as you develop your writing. Writing inspiration is likely to occur when you’re aware of the thoughts running through your mind.

To help this process, there’s a technique called free writing. It’s a writing exercise where you write nonstop for a period of time. You write freely about whatever thoughts that come to your mind.

The results will not be perfect as there’ll be grammatical errors, broken flows, and no format. However, that doesn’t matter once you read back and explore your writing. You’ll discover hidden ideas and new concepts between the unorganized sentences.

Write Briefs

Briefs are informative documents or the blueprints of your writing pieces. A good brief arranges your thinking and gives you a distinct path from the introduction to the conclusion of whatever you’re writing.

By creating an outline for your writing, you’ll be able to see the purpose of the content. You’ll find the inspiration to expand your points, clarifying them further, and making strong connections or transitions.

To make a good brief that can help you with your writing, it should have:

  • Goals ‒ the reason why you’re writing the piece.
  • Target audience ‒ who are you writing to.
  • Key points ‒ the most important information that grabs that readers’ attention.
  • Supportive points ‒ the essential details that explain why readers should believe your points.
  • Tone ‒ the attitude you’re conveying in your writing. For example formal, humorous, or optimistic.

Read a lot of Different Books

Reading books for writing inspiration Amazon book selection

Stephen King once wrote, “If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.” It can’t be stressed enough that reading is essential when it comes to writing.

When you need inspiration, spare some time to read. You can find ideas, learn about different writing styles, structure, and formatting. Try to take notes whenever you’re reading new material.

Research also confirms that reading has a positive influence on your brain. It helps you to de-stress and broadens your imagination and information, making it a great source for writing inspiration.

Carry Around a Notebook

Writing inspiration is around you waiting to be found ‒ it can be as simple as the people passing by or nature. Don’t just ignore it. Even a tiny bit of inspiration needs to be documented.

Just like what Allen Ginsberg, said, “if the muse comes to your bedside don’t say you’ll attend to her later.”

As you have noticed, ideas don’t come according to your schedule. They frequently emerge when you’re in the middle of your daily activities. Due to that fickle nature, a notebook definitely comes in handy.

A notebook can be a platform for your imagination. You can come back to the points you’ve written and get creative with them.

Top 10 domain name generators you get to know

Choosing a domain name can be one of the most challenging aspects when starting your online journey. You need to pick a word, or a combination of words, that will be memorable and describe what your brand is all about. That’s a lot of pressure for a couple of words. Luckily, you can use a domain name generator.

That’s where a domain name generator will come in handy. It will help you to come up with the perfect domain name for your brand. And it will also check the availability.

Here’s an updated list of the best domain name generators you can find.

1. Hostinger Domain Checker

Screenshot of Hostinger domain checker 2018The Hostinger Domain Checker is a quick and handy tool to come up with a domain name. It helps you to catch all the best ideas. Just enter your preferred word to the search bar and look through the search results.

What’s cool about the Hostinger Domain Checker, is that it immediately shows you all the available word combinations that match your search and a list of different, available TLDs for it.

Additionally, Hostinger shows you the cost of the domain name you pick.

This domain generator is convenient, as it does all the domain-related work for you.

2. Nameboy

Screenshot of Name Boy domain name generator 2018Nameboy domain name generator was launched back in 1999. It’s been around for a while and is trusted amongst web creators.

This domain name generator checks your provided keyword and makes different suggestions based on it. It does, however, advise people to check only the most common TLDs like .com.

Nameboy truly is one of the best, most easy to use domain name generators out there. This explains its popularity. Many people use it not only for generating a domain name but also for creating company names and such.

3. Instant Domain Search

Screenshot of instant domain search 2018Instant Domain Search is a neat little tool that shows you domain name search results as you type. It works very quickly, so it saves you a lot of time.

This generator adds loads of popular beginnings and endings to the keyword of your choice, to find which most popular TLDs are available. However, it does check all available TLDs, including generic and country code TLDs.

What’s very cool and helpful, is that Instant Domain Search looks up all the domain names that are about to expire. This is handy because some registrars let you purchase domain names, that are nearing the end of their life-cycle.

4. NameStall

namestall domain name generator

NameStall offers a variety of tools to help you in your domain search. Start with their domain name generator tool, which will help you search by keyword and other filters, including:

  • Parts of speech
  • Popular keywords
  • Basic English words
  • Industry categories

You can also choose if you want your keyword at the beginning or end of your domain or if you want a hyphen in your web address. Finally, choose extensions you’d like to filter by. You’ll receive a list of options that are both taken and not yet registered. Click the “register” link beside the one you like to choose it.

NameStall also features a similar domain name suggestion tool as well as an instant domain search tool, brandable domain name list, and high paying keywords search tool.

5. Lean Domain Search

Screenshot of Lean Domain Search 2018The most common way to create a domain name is to combine two or more words. Lean Domain Search does this for you. You enter a word of your choice, and the domain name generator comes up with dozens of different, relevant word combinations.

What is more, the Lean Domain Search checks the availability of your chosen domain name.

One thing to keep in mind: .com is the only TLD (Top Level Domain) that it checks. This TLD is the most popular and memorable on the web, so this limited function is actually quite handy.

However, if you are interested in a different TLD, such as .org or .co, you might want to use a different tool.

6. Bust a Name

bust a name domain name generator

Bust a Name has numerous filtering tools to help you find a quality domain name that meets your specific needs. Start by filtering for keywords, and then choose options such as “starts” or “ends” with your keyword. Then, filter by how natural you want the domains to look, and choose your character limit. You can also choose to show taken domains as well as filter by extensions, such as .com, .net, and .org. At the bottom of the page, you’ll also see suggestions for similar keywords to try.

If you don’t have a keyword in mind, try the “Make a Random Domain” button to spark ideas or snatch up an available name. If you find a domain that you like, save it for later, or purchase it through links to domain registrars like GoDaddy and Namecheap. You can also run a domain search on the site to if the name you have in mind is available.

7. Shopify Business Name Generator

Shopify business name generator

Although the tool’s name suggests it’s just for generating business names, Shopify’s Business Name Generator actually delivers available domain name ideas. Start by choosing a keyword that you want your domain to include, and you’ll get hundreds of suggestions. Although the site encourages you to create a Shopify shop using the domain name they’ve suggested, you can go elsewhere to purchase the web address. Suggestions use the .com extension.

Add results to your favorites list, or try a more advanced search. You can also use the tool to compare the page rank of different domain names.

10. Name Mesh

Right ways to get a perfect domain name

Having a good domain name is crucial for your overall branding. The tips below will provide some guidance for you in choosing the perfect domain name.

Keep It Short

It’s common knowledge: people don’t like long names. It’s hard to remember them! Our advice is to keep it up to two words, as they make great combinations. Just take a look at the list of top 500 websites and you’ll see that most of them stick to one or two-word names.

Choose .com or ccTLD

Although there are many domain name extensions available, .com is still the most popular. People just assume that all websites’ names end with .com.

That’s why choosing .com is the safest option. If your desired .com domain is not available, try .org or .net. If they’re also not available, it’s best to choose a new domain name.

If your target audience is your own country, using ccTLD is also a good choice. You will likely rank higher in the search results of those living in your target area.

Make It Easy to Type

A catchy name is useless if people don’t know how to spell it. Keep it simple by avoiding numbers, slang, and hyphens. They are often misspelled and forgotten.

When people hear your domain name, they don’t know whether it is 3 or three. Or if you want to make songsforyou.com, use that instead of songs4u.com.

Mistakes above can direct potential visitors to other websites and hurt your business. Make sure to keep these tips in mind when selecting your domain name.

Make It Brandable

Think ahead when choosing your domain name. Surely you want your website to be remembered and stand out from competitors? A brandable domain will help you to achieve that.

Pick a name that once heard, people will instantly think about your website. Ask yourself, is it unique and catchy? Does it reflect your brand? Consider those questions while choosing your domain name.

Don’t Overuse Keywords

Keywords in your domain name can help your site to rank better. However, if you choose to use keywords, keep it minimal. We suggest to only use one keyword like felixflorist.com or laurendentistry.com.

Remember, we’re trying to make a brand. Stuffing keywords into your domain name is the opposite of that.

Create, Blend, or Mix & Match

Don’t know how to start picking a domain name? Here’s a tip about brandable names: they are often meaningless.

Google, Yahoo, Reddit, Bing – those words didn’t even exist before. You can do just that and create new words.

screenshot of google

If it’s too hard to make a new word from scratch, try to blend words. To give you an idea, Instagram is a mix of instant and telegram. You can also tweak them a little bit like the flix in Netflix which is a variation of the word “flicks”.

Another great option is to mix and match keywords. Write down a list of words that describe your brand. Then, try to combine them together.

Make as many options as you can and choose the best one. Some examples from this method are StumbleUpon, MySpace, SoundCloud, etc.

Change your domain name with 4 easy steps

In this article, we’re going to talk about some of the reasons why you’d want to change your domain name. Then we’ll walk you through the process in four simple steps. Let’s get started!

The process of changing your domain name is very simple, although the ‘right way’ involves more than simply purchasing your new domain. You’ll also want to make the process as seamless as possible for your visitors, so let’s take a look at how to do it.

Step #1: Choose a New Domain Name and Assign it to Your Website

There are a lot of options when it comes to domain names, so picking the right one can be tricky.

Choosing a new domain name is a highly personal decision, but there are a few aspects to keep in mind to ensure you make a smart one. We’ve previously devoted an entire article to walk you through that process, so check it out before settling on a new domain.

When you’re ready, you can register your new domain through our platform. If you’re an A2 Hosting customer, you can simply assign that name to your existing website. However, for other hosts you’ll need to dig into their knowledge bases to find the correct process.

Step #2: Rebrand Your Website’s Design

Your site’s logo is one of the elements that enable visitors to identify it.

Depending on your choice of domain, you’ll likely need to update aspects of your site’s design to reflect it. For example, your logo will likely need an update, but the same goes for any other element that alludes to your former domain name. For example:

  • Your About page if your site has one.
  • Your website’s footer, which often includes copyright information.
  • The ‘tagline’ of your site, which is the text that appears on a browser’s tab when you open it.
  • Any miscellaneous references within your content.

Fortunately, making these changes is relatively straightforward, although you’ll need to make sure you’ve removed all references to your previous domain on your site before pressing ahead.

You’ll also need to let visitors know about these changes so they aren’t left scratching their heads. We’ll talk about that shortly, but before that, let’s talk about redirects.

Step #3: Redirect Traffic to Your New Domain

Arguably the most important step when changing your domain name is to redirect users from the old one to the new one. That way, you won’t lose out on any visitors who bookmarked your past address, or happened to visit regularly.

Most web hosts (including A2 Hosting) enable you to do this from your cPanel. Just look for the icon that says Redirects under the Domains section of your cPanel and click on it:

 

Once you’re in the Redirects page, pick the option that reads Permanent (301) and the domain you want to redirect:

 

Next, type the URL of the new domain you registered, and enable the setting that says Redirect with or without www:

 

Once you click the Add button, you’re ready to go! Now, every time someone visits your old domain, they’ll be sent to your new one. For the time being, we recommend keeping both of them active until traffic to your former domain dies down.

Step #4: Update Your Users About Your Rebranding

At this stage, you should have a new domain name up and running. All that’s left now is to update your users about the changes to your website, such as its new URL, and the rebranding process where necessary.

This step is important because without it, you’ll have a lot of confused regulars. In our opinion, these are the three best ways to break the news to your user base:

  1. Add an explanatory post to your website as soon as you rebrand it.
  2. Use your site’s social media accounts to update your followers, and link them to that aforementioned post.
  3. Send out an email campaign explaining the changes to your site.

Keep in mind that you can send out multiple social media updates and emails for methods two and three. That way, you’ll maximize your chances of engaging with as many followers and subscribers and possible.

3 reasons to choose dedicated hosting service

Dedicated hosting provides your site with far more resources to keep up with its expansion. Of course, there are other benefits involved in upgrading to a dedicated hosting plan as well. These include improved stability and security, as well as the chance to configure every element of your server.

There are many types of hosting plans, and you may be wondering how dedicated servers differ from the rest. In a nutshell, dedicated hosting means you are renting an entire physical server for your website. This server can be completely configured to meet your specifications. You’ll also have more memory dedicated to your site, which results in better loading times.

This is a stark contrast to shared hosting, which is the cheapest and most common type of plan. With shared hosting, you are renting limited space on a physical server. The memory on that server will be shared between all the websites it hosts. This means that if one website is having a particularly busy day, it may draw resources away from your site.

3 Ways to Tell If You Need Dedicated Hosting

Dedicated hosting is a powerful option, but it isn’t right for every website. However, there are three simple ways to decide if you need this kind of plan. Simply ask yourself if you fall into one or more of the following three categories.

1. You’re Looking for Increased Security

Website hacking is on the rise. The security on a shared hosting plan is typically fine for smaller and more personal sites. However, if your company handles particularly sensitive data (such as credit card numbers), you might need the added security that dedicated hosting provides.

Dedicated hosting offers top-notch security because you can configure the entire server to meet your needs. This includes creating a tighter firewall to keep out hackers. It also means you don’t have to worry about another website on your shared server exposing your own site to malware.

A2 Hosting offers around-the-clock support in the event of an attack for all our plans. Still, dedicated hosting is the best way to make sure your site is completely safe, and to prevent security breaches before they happen.

2. Your Site Requires Improved Server Stability

As we’ve mentioned, another advantage of dedicated servers is improved performance. On a shared server, the memory you are paying for is split among several sites. A usage spike on one site can pull resources away from yours. This means that if one site you are sharing with has a busy day, your site may lag. Too many visitors at once can even make your site crash!

However, on a dedicated server, all its resources are reserved for your site alone. If your site is growing, dedicated hosting is a perfect way to keep loading times down. This is particularly important if your site is already experiencing delays due to high traffic. Visitors can quickly become impatient and leave your site if pages take too long to load.

If your site isn’t quite big enough to justify a dedicated server, but has grown beyond your current shared plan, VPS hosting may be a better option. Like a dedicated plan, all of the memory you are paying for is reserved for your site. This offers a huge improvement over shared hosting, at a lower cost than dedicated hosting. Plus, you can always upgrade later if you need the additional resources.

3. You Want Total Control Over Your Server’s Configuration

With dedicated hosting, you’re getting your own physical server. This means you can configure ithowever you like. If you’re an advanced user, or you just have very specific requirements for how you want your server to be set up, dedicated hosting fits the bill. For example, you could configure a firewall that meets your exact security specifications.

Even if you don’t have the technical know-how to do those things yourself, you can get a managed dedicated plan. This means your provider will handle most of the necessary setup and maintenance for you. While this type of plan does come at a higher cost, you’ll get the full benefits of dedicated hosting without having to do much work yourself.

When you purchase a managed dedicated server from A2 Hosting, your plan includes 24/7/365 tech support from our Guru Crew. We will work with you to configure your server just the way you want, even if you don’t know all the terminology involved. What’s more, our team works around the clock to guarantee that your site stays up at all times.

  3. .org
  4. .co
  5. .us

Choosing a relevant domain extension for a website is a very essential need. The best domain name can attract the users and a familiar extension plays a major role in this.

1. .com

For people thinking what is the best domain extensions .com comes first in the mind. It is the most familiar and top-level extension used in Domain Name. It was genuinely used to identify for-profit businesses. At this time it becomes a backbone of the domain extension.

If you want to choose a domain extension in all circumstances you will like to choose .com if it is available. It’s become a common extension because it currently used in all type of entities including school, nonprofit and private individual. Many SEO companies say that the.com extension can lead to the most favorable search ranking as compared to others.

If you have an opportunity to choose extension you will definitely go with .com. If it is not available then you have the next best alternative to use.

2. .net

As like a .com extension .net is open for anyone. It was originally intended for Internet Service provider and network now it becomes the best alternative of .com. Many people use this .net with web-based application and services. If your business is running in these industries then .net is the best alternative for you.

It used less according to .com so; there are more changes that your desired domain name is available with .net. Because many people connect .net with technology or web-service so it will disconnect the people sometimes. Think if you are not providing technical service to a user and you are using .net as an extension it must disconnect with user expectations.

.Net used with that domain name whose motive is to provide technical or web-based services.

 3. .org

This extension is used for any type of entity but it specially designed for the non-profitable-organization. It is the best option for many non-governmental organizations, politics and politician parties and online communities.

.Org is also a top-level domain extension. Here you will also find the same search power as .com. The .Org is less popular then .com, so here are more chances to acquire your domain name.

.Org only makes sense with the organization which works for non-profit or information-driven businesses it doesn’t make sense with everyone. For example, if you are running an e-commerce store or trying to convert your traffic into sales so it will not works for you.

4. .co

.co is one of the best options in these five common extensions. Firstly, it is originally designated to the country code of Colombia But now it becomes a popular extension for global domain. The .co is familiar for company corporations and commercial business. It is generally used by the fresher’s or youngsters. It is widely used by the newer, shorter and new business startup website. You might be easy to consider the .co domain because of its availability. As mention above because of popular .com is very rarely available so you can use .co as a domain extension.

5. .us

It is a domain extension you can use in your domain name. It is reserved for the citizen and business of the United States. You can be an individual entity or nonprofit organization, but with the permanent resident or business registered in the United States. It is associated with the U.S government like .Gov but now it is available as an extension for the business purpose or public.

Why should you use Windows VPS Hosting

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting plan provides your site with its own individual operating system, disc space, and bandwidth. This is a stark contrast to shared hosting plans, in which those resources are shared with many other users. VPS hosting enables you to provide a more optimized service for your visitors – which is essential as your site really starts to grow.

There are many advantages to signing up for a Windows VPS hosting plan. In the next few sections, we’ll look at four of the most important, in order to help you make a more informed decision.

1. It’s a Cost-Effective Solution

As your website continues to grow, it’s likely that budgeting will become more challenging. Putting time and money into shared hosting when your site has outgrown it can be a poor investment.

At the same time, you don’t want to overspend and get a dedicated server for a site that doesn’t need one. VPS hosting provides an ideal middle option for sites that are just beginning to expand.

For example, Windows-based VPS plans here at A2 Hosting start at $36.29 per month:

While more expensive than shared hosting, this is still a highly-affordable choice for many small- to mid-sized businesses.

2. There’s No More ‘Neighbor Drain’ of Resources

One of shared hosting’s downfalls is the fact that the same resources are accessed by multiple sites. This means that if another site on your server has a sudden spike in traffic, for example, you’ll have fewer resources to work with.

As a result, your visitors might experience slow loading times, which in turn can lead to a reduction in traffic and conversions. This is not an ideal environment for websites that have the potential to grow – nor does it give your site and business a professional image.

With VPS hosting, your resources can’t be drained by your neighbor’s activities. Therefore, you’re able to offer a faster, smoother experience for all your visitors.

3. You’ll Benefit from a Higher Level of Security

In a general sense, VPS hosting is considered more secure than shared hosting. This is largely due to the fact the apps and data stored on a virtual server are completely isolated from other users.

On a shared plan, if another site on your server suffers from a malware infection or another form of security breach, it’s possible that this could also affect your site. In contrast, the separate storage available on a virtual server means that it’s a lot harder for infections to spread between users.

What’s more, the Windows-based VPS plans here at A2 Hosting are managed. This means you’ll benefit from additional security measures, including firewalls, intrusion monitoring, and regular remote backups. This is in contrast to unmanaged plans, in which most security measures and general maintenance tasks are the user’s responsibility.

4. You Get More Control Over Your Site

Since a VPS hosting plan is independent of other accounts using the same physical server, you have more control over your partition. You get the entire operating system to yourself – including full access to available resources and files.

Windows-based VPS plans at A2 Hosting come with full administrative control. This enables you to set up and customize your server the way you want it, as well as to install and use additional software. The added control over your site also means you are able to try out more advanced coding, and test applications more effectively.

Last but not least, VPS hosting plans are also incredibly simple to upgrade as your business continues to grow. There are a range of hosting packages to choose from, each offering different levels of processing power, storage, and memory. That means you only have to pay for what you need, without hamstringing your site in the process.

How to choose a suitable server for a small budget

Your site and business may grow in fits and spurts. The more consumers your website attracts to your business, the more resources you’ll need to continue supporting the website. Scaling to larger servers, however, can be cost-prohibitive to an unsteady young business. Here are a few steps to consider when gauging when to make the move.

Determine How Much Time You Want to Spend on Server Management

Your business will likely start on a shared hosting plan while you establish your branding, product portfolio, and customer base. As you gain traction in the marketplace, however, you could outgrow the constraints of a shared environment and need to seek more secure, stable, and powerful servers. VPS hosting, which stands for virtual private servers, represents a safe middle ground between the crowded chaos of shared hosting and the high-priced realm of dedicated servers.

However, with great power comes great responsibility… at least, usually. While hosting providers will take care of the shared server infrastructure powering thousands of customers at once, the dedicated computing resources associated with your virtual environment will typically fall under your purview. Some of the server management tasks you may be responsible for include:

  • Software and operating system updates
  • Security patches
  • Daily or weekly backups
  • System uptime monitoring
  • Antivirus protection and malware scans

As you step up the hosting ladder, however, providers typically roll out more support and services geared toward treating you like royalty. Your host may cover many of these tedious processes, but the managed services label can be applied many different ways. You’ll definitely want to pay attention to the fine print here to see what’s included.

All that said, server management is a place where you can stretch your budget a bit. By investing some time and patience, you can absolutely manage your VPS, cloud environment, or dedicated server to save a few bucks — or, by investing in managed services, you can spend more time working on your business goals and less time on your infrastructure.

Take Stock of Your Current Needs and Growth Rate

When your child is just learning to walk, you don’t put them on a maxed-out treadmill, right? The same applies to shopping for web hosting.

Take a realistic inventory of your company’s online requirements and what you can reasonably expect in the next three years or so. Compare that with your annual budget to see what hosting solutions seem to make the most sense.

In addition to the rate traffic you expect to see each month, spend some time thinking whether you have any nuanced technology decisions to make. Perhaps you’re better equipped to work with one content management system or eCommerce platform over another. This could inform which operating system or computing resources you may need. You’ll need to balance having ample processing power and storage space with the idea of what you’ll actually consume.

You may not have an opinion on how many CPU cores you’ll need, or if you’ll want to use storage powered by solid-state or hard-disk drives — and that’s OK. But work to understand how those components contribute to your overall hosting expenses. For example, Linux hosting is based on a free and open-source operating system, while Windows Server licenses can get rather expensive for your provider. Similarly, SSDs are inherently faster and more reliable than HDDs — but they can cost quite a bit more and typically have smaller storage capacities.
