I was recently approached by a hosting company to work with them as an affiliate and after visiting their website, found ThinkHost to have an interesting marketing message - that of an environmentally aware company who are carving themselves out a niche on the basis of a very common theme of concern amongst consumers nowadays.

Whether you are a believer in Global Warming and humankind’s effect on it or not, the fact is, this will doubtless appeal to a great number of people around the world. The company promise to plant a tree for every single customer they sign up and run their business on renewable energy resources. (wind and solar generated power)

They have been in the hosting business since 1999, so they are not a naive new start up with nothing but high ideals.

ThinkHost shared hosting packages come in at a very reasonable $7.95 monthly for which you will get, among other things, unlimited domains, unlimited databases and email accounts, 100Gb of storage and 1000 Gb of transfer. The features of the plan are comprehensive and they give a 100% uptime guarantee. Full details can be found at the website and we will be adding them to the main directory very soon.

HostGator Review - Great Plans, Horrible Service!

Posted on March 9th, 2008 by User Imageadmin

Fellow blogger and internet marketer Josh Spaulding sounds off about his recent experiences with HostGator in this customer review.

OK, I know I told you I’d be reducing the number of rants that I publish on this blog. Well, since I’m about to start http://www.crackerjackseo.com/ (newly registered) I’ve decided to start ranting once again right here. So all my long, how-to’s etc. related to SEO will be published at crackerjackseo and all my other Internet marketing musings, including rants will reside here.

About 12 hours ago I ordered a dedicated server through HostGator. During the ordering process I chose PayPal as my payment option (I wasn’t asked for my PayPal email.

Order was complete, nothing was charged. A few minutes later I received a call from a HostGator rep telling me they need my PayPal email to get this going. No problem. I provided the email and was told my server would be up within 24 hours. I also replied to a ticket telling them my PayPal email just to be sure.

-PayPal email given to HostGator twice-

This morning I wake up and see an email from HostGator. I open it up and I see login details. The server is up and ready, right? Of course not.

They reinstated a reseller account I had over a year ago. Not that it matters, but that didn’t even work trying to login through the provided IP, UN and PW.

I call HostGator to see what’s up. I get some kid (sounded like he was about 16 y.o., who sounded mad at the world.) He very rudely said “You’ll just have to wait for your ticket to be replied to, Sir”

After hanging up I got a little P.O. and called back. This time I spoke with a helpful female agent, but after 15 minutes or so I was told I need to reorder the server because a PayPal email wasn’t sent. About that time I thought this was some kind of joke! I had given it to the guy who called me, I replied to the ticket with the PayPal email and I had given it to her. Yet, they were unable to charge me and fix this big mess.

-PayPal email given to HostGator for the 3rd time-

By the way, while I was on the phone with her I received another email from HostGator stating that I need to go to some URL to change my primary domain and I need to pay $5 for that to happen.

So, I figured I might as well just order and get this all over and done with (thinking they would take care of it right away.) I said “OK, I’ll just reorder.” She said OK, the people who set it up are gone right now, so they should get to this later today sometime. “When?” …”I don’t know”

Does HostGator even care whether they make a sale or not? I mean, I don’t care how much money I make, if I have a customer who is ready and willing to give me $200 EVERY MONTH I’m going to bend over backwards for them!

Now I’m in a predicament. It took me 2 weeks of looking at various dedicated server deals and nothing compared to what HostGator had to offer for the price. I don’t want to spend over 200/month for a server, but it looks like I’m going to have to.

The best deal in the world isn’t worth it if the support is the worst in the world!

The CaymanHost Launches Affordable Hosting Plans

Posted on February 10th, 2008 by User Imageadmin

Finding good quality hosting is not actually difficult, but finding that quality at an affordable price is usually the problem for most individuals or small business users.

For bloggers and webmasters of newer or smaller operations, the cost of web hosting is sometimes a bigger obstacle than it should be. With this in mind I am pleased to announce the launch of my new hosting and domain name registration business. With hosting starting at as little as $6.99 per month, I have tried to ensure that a reliable and affordable hosting solution is now well within the reach of those with even the tightest budgets.

Using a data center in California, I have negotiated the plans with the budget conscious in mind whilst ensuring that quality and service is not compromised and where I can be confident in offering a 99.9% uptime guarantee and complete 24/7 support. I have also made sure that plans are easy to upgrade so that when your circumstances change, your hosting can keep pace with your business growth and altering needs without breaking the bank.

In addition to these very competitive offers on hosting, I have also negotiated an excellent set of rates on domain names incorporating all the major extensions including .com, .net, .org, .co.uk, .us, .biz, and many more popular choices. If you are looking to register one or several new domains I think you’ll be more than happy with my prices.

The three hosting plans are priced at $6.99 for the "Business Plan", $9.99 for the "Corporate Plan" and $14.99 for the "Enterprise Plan", and you’ll get a free domain name with both Corporate and Enterprise deals too.

Business Plan Basic Features

Free Hosting From Populora.com

Posted on February 9th, 2008 by User Imageadmin

I received an email the other day regarding a newly launched site going by the name of Populora.com.

Populora is a free service that requires no registration and allows you to upload web pages to the web through an online interface. You can upload a single page of HTML or a zip file containing your website (10mb max file size).

The service is ad supported, meaning that third party advertisements will be tagged onto your page(s). Providing you are not using it as a commercial venture this is probably not a concern for you, although you obviously have no control over the appearance or content of such ads.

When you upload a file, the page title you use will become the URL. For example www.populora.com/yourpage title.

The really puzzling thing is that should somebody else choose the same title, your page will be replaced by theirs if you have not updated your page for more than 24 hours. The website also states that once you have uploaded a page, anyone can edit or update it! Aside from a Wiki, I don’t honestly see why anyone would want such a feature and it seems to be a rather major stumbling block, even for those just wanting to host a simple non commercial page or two.

populora

I haven’t tried the service out myself but it seems to me that the shortcomings outlined above will make it somewhat of a non-starter for many people. After all, leaving your work open to editing by any Tom Dick or Harry who comes along and takes a notion seems rather reckless. Once someone makes a change to your work, you can do nothing about it for at least 24 hours either.

Once you have submitted a page it has to be manually approved before going live which they say takes up to a few hours. You can update your page(s) once in any 24 hour period.

The site itself is a very simple to use interface, but I have to say that there are plenty of other more fully featured free hosting options out there, and even some who do not put their ads on your pages. If simplicity is a major consideration, then you might want to take a look at Populora but in all honesty its applications are very limiting.

A Free Reseller Hosting Account

Posted on February 9th, 2008 by User Imageadmin

The world of reseller hosting can often be fraught with problems and expense as many people have found out to their cost, and it has to be said that the hosting industry is one of the most competitive arenas online.

I have always cautioned that if you are intending to get involved as a reseller, you do your homework carefully before committing to anything. Normally, as a reseller, you would expect to have to pay a monthly fee to the hosting company or companies you intend to represent, but, as always there are exceptions.

For anyone thinking of starting a reseller business, we therefore recommend you have a look at the following site, where you can get started as a reseller completely free of charge.

Free Reseller Hosting Program

Is there a catch you are asking yourself? Well, the truthful answer is - no. If you check out the site you will see that you offered a great range of configuration options and plenty of choice as to how you present your reseller business to the world at large.

Not only are you provided with configurable and editable website templates, you can also choose the primary currency for your customers, you can choose the various hosting packages you wish to resell, set the price for those packages yourself and so on. For a free reseller account it’s pretty comprehensive.

If you wing over to the site, and explore a little, you will see for yourself that there is plenty of potential for anyone prepared to put in the work.

As well as making money as a reseller there is also an affiliate program paying 10% of your referral’s earnings.

As all this won’t cost you a penny, I suggest you go and have a look round, even if you don’t intend to start right away, it takes a couple of minutes to secure your free reseller account, and it represents an honest bargain, which can’t be said for many offers on the internet nowadays!

Kiosk.ws Announce VIP Hosting Franchise

Posted on January 14th, 2008 by User Imageadmin
Stop Press! The Company have announced that due to overwhelming demand, this new service will be withdrawn on 12 February 2008 and its future availability is not known at this time. If you want to add this to your portfolio of online businesses you will therefore have to do so before this date.

However, don’t worry if you missed out. Send a blank email to

enquiries@kioskcities.ws

and I’ll send you all the information you need to help you start building a monthly residual income with Kiosk and I’ll even throw in some excellent free marketing tools.

Kiosk announced this week, the launch of a ground breaking and unique new service - what they are branding the ultimate turnkey hosting franchise.

This is an extremely exciting development for all Kiosk customers and affiliates, from a company who have long been innovators in the field of web hosting services. Here, I will try to summarize some of the main features of this powerful new concept. Much of this has been adapted from the announcements made very recently to existing members in their administration area, and will explain just what this new service is all about.

What the team at Kiosk have done is to create complete websites that enable people to sell Kiosk Hosting as a true VIP Franchise owner. And, this is way beyond plug and play! Kiosk create each page, upload all the files, update the site, handle support and pre-sales questions, and ensure that visitors will signup directly on a users VIP Hosting Franchise site.

franchise3

So… are you asking yourself: “That sounds great but what do I need to configure and work out on my end?” The answer to that question is simple: WE TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING! Would you like to have a truly high end, pro Website that is backed by a team of professional designers, programmers, tech support, and marketing department? This is it!

If you’re already keen to find out more, just go here to gain access to full details of the Kiosk VIP Hosting Franchise

Here are just a few of the incredible features of the new plan:-

- Website design included! We give you 5 choices of fully designed Websites to choose from. These are not one page templates that you need to edit! These are full websites complete with navigation, content for each page, support options, and your own signup form!

franchise

- FREE complete setup! We upload your VIP Hosting Franchise site to your domain. All you need is a domain name for us to put it on. If you already have a site on your main domain, no problem! We can create the sub-domain of your choice and install it there.

- FREE updates for life! Our Webmaster will update your own VIP Hosting Franchise site. Here are examples of what kind of updates to expect on your own VIP Franchise site.

>> Holiday specials. We always have special deals when certain holidays come along. Xmas season, New Years blowout, spring time offer, hot summer deals, Halloween specials, thanksgiving bonuses, etc..

>> Firesales. We look at the flow of the market and when we feel the time is right for a firesale, we blast it out! These are always limited time offers of extreme value. The value is always so high that we can’t have these types of offers as “standard” packages.

>> Package/Feature updates. Whenever something changes with the Kiosk Hosting packages, your Franchise is updated on the fly.

- FREE customer support for your visitors! Since this is a VIP Hosting Franchise system, your “about us” page has support options that go directly to our help desk. You don’t have to worry about anything! AND, we answer in your name! Our staff is specifically trained to point prospects back to your Franchise when they answer pre-sales requests. We have special tags in each email that tells us from what VIP Hosting Franchise it came from.

- We lock your sales! There are no links going outside your site so people won’t bypass your franchise site when they want to signup.

Now, if this has piqued your interest as a webmaster, entrepreneur or online business owner, let’s take a quick look at how much you could reasonably expect to pay for a website of this calibre.

>> Web designer to create a complete Website layout: At least $350.00

>> Copywriter to create the content and sales copy: At least $600.00

>> Programmer to setup the contact and signup system: At least $600.00

>> Technical support team to handle daily requests: Well over $2000.00 per month

franchise2

For a site to truly sell, it needs to be dynamic and constantly offer fresh, innovative content. If you have ever tried to get a professional team to setup your own Website, you know that there are delays, extra costs as time goes on, and it can take months before your site is ready for launch.

Well, don’t worry, because Kiosk are offering this franchise at a fraction of the costs normally associated with such a powerful system. In fact, you can own a VIP Franchise for a one time fee that doesn’t even come close to the design cost mentioned above.

I should also mention Residual income - it is always welcome and that is what Kiosk Hosting and this VIP Franchise is about. Once a person gets going, they can then concentrate on growing their business, instead of worrying about setting up their business. If a person’s site is already going, this system is a great addition as well.

If you want to find out more, please visit my Kiosk Hosting site now and you will see the full demos and details of the turnkey VIP Hosting Franchise and decide if it is for you - I guarantee you will be impressed.

Kiosk.ws Affiliate Program Best On The Web

Posted on December 14th, 2007 by User Imageadmin

A bold title, but warranted.

Several people have asked for clarification on Kiosk.ws and just how it can help people make money online. So, in the simplest terms possible, I thought I’d write an explanation - so here’s the deal.

First and foremost, Kiosk.ws is a web hosting company. They have long been the choice of marketers, because they are extremely marketer friendly, and, unlike many hosting platforms, understand the specific needs of webmasters who are marketing online. They provide some of the best technical and customer support in the business and provide users with a complete suite of tools to help them build whatever online business they choose. This is not just a few generic templates but a whole collection of valuable marketing tools, which, bought separately would be very expensive.

So, a hosting company, but a far better than average one!

Let’s take a brief look at the business of Kiosk.ws itself. As a customer, you automatically become part of the affiliate program, but just as Kiosk.ws are no ordinary hosting company, this is no ordinary affiliate program either. For one thing, it pays monthly commissions. This means that every month when customers renew their hosting package, you get paid, and, because the service is so good, customer drop out rates are very low indeed.

As a new user, it is not compulsory for you to try and make affiliate sales, but, if you are familiar with the concept of multiple streams of income, you will probably want to add this affiliate program to your online revenue generating efforts.

The structure is simple and inherently powerful. Once you make just four direct affiliate sales your monthly hosting costs are covered. That’s great in itself. Further direct sales will then be passed to customers you have brought into the fold. You will still be paid, but your referrals will be paid too. This translates into encouragement as well as monthly residual income for those referrals because everybody has the opportunity to earn from the affiliate program.

This means that any new customers I refer into the business are passed to others I have already referred to Kiosk, which translates into………..monthly income for those customers. When you buy a hosting package from Kiosk.ws, you benefit from my advertising and marketing of the company. I think that’s a pretty good deal!

All this is entirely separate from whatever sites and business ventures you are building with your class leading hosting and marketing tools. Want a professional Wordpress blog? No Problem with a one click installation via CPanel. Want a forum of your own? Also no problem - one click installation via CPanel. In fact Kiosk provide over 50 different easy to install scripts via Cpanel and Fantastico, ensuring that anyone can soon build a professional looking site on virtually any of the popular platforms available today, including top CMS platforms like Joomla and Drupal.

When people start seeing checks or PayPal deposits every month, it’s a great motivator - even if they’ve not managed to make a direct sale themselves they still stand a good chance of being paid and will try to convert some sales of their own, in turn motivating the people below them when they start passing on “spillover” customers. (All my sales are now effectively spillover) With all the advice and training available at Kiosk’s live chats and bulletin boards, it is often not long until new customers are earning a good additional income. The concept of motivation leading to overall business growth through affiliate marketing is not new, but Kiosk.ws make it far easier for ordinary people to start making regular monthly income online, whilst using a service that is invaluable to their own online presence.

Unlike schemes such as GDI who suffer a high failure and dropout rate, Kiosk customers are likely to stay with the program. When you look under the hood, the differences become quite apparent and there really is no comparison. Real services and real opportunity outweigh empty promises of massive wealth every time. I think it’s safe to say that the systems in place at Kiosk.ws are a win-win for all involved.

Will you get rich? Well, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility. If you put in a concerted effort the rewards will be greater. It won’t happen overnight, but there is indeed limitless potential for Kiosk.ws affiliates - this is a fact. If you’re looking for something real in an online world full of hype, I strongly recommend you pay Kiosk.ws a visit whether you are a first time hosting shopper or an owner of domains you’d like to move to a new host.

HostTracker Proves Kiosk’s 100% Reliability

Posted on November 16th, 2007 by User Imageadmin

Latest Uptime Reports From FreeWebMonitoring.com

OK, so it’s not quite 100% uptime, but it beats most hosting companies with only a minute of downtime since monitoring began. Kiosk.ws still deliver a very reliable solution.

November 8 - November 14 2007 (experienced 40 seconds downtime this week)

November 1 - November 7 2007 (experienced 10 seconds downtime this week)

October 25 - October 31 2007 (experienced 10 seconds downtime this week)

October 18 - October 24 2007

October 11 - October 17 2007

So many people are unhappy with their hosting companies nowadays. They often start out well, the service is great, the support good, and then, you hit a snag and it all comes undone. You will see countless customers complaining about heavy handed treatment, accounts shut down without warning etc. etc.

If you are serious about your websites or blogs, you need reliable hosting. But where do you find it and who do you trust to help you make the decision? We have started monitoring our uptime with HostTracker in recent weeks and below is a screenshot of our email notifications for this domain, for the month of September. (since tracking with this service began).

As you can see, Kiosk have delivered 100% uptime consistently over the past month and we can confirm that this is what we have come to expect from them. As time goes by and we gather more data we will update these figures.

If you are tired of cheap and not so cheerful hosting, maybe it’s time to look for a company with true 24/7 support, one that doesn’t overcrowd its servers and oversell, one that can help you rather than hinder your online efforts. Kiosk hosting run their own data centre, and can provide shared or dedicated hosting to anyone who is tired of fighting battles with their host. Monthly hosting deals start as low as $18.95, and, for the extra peace of mind, that looks like a great deal.

Find out more about Kiosk Hosting Deals here and start concentrating on your business, not your hosting service.
