Web Hosting Setup Explained - How to Set Up Web Hosting

This article will teach you how to set up web hosting. I'm actually going to give you two options to select from regarding web hosting setup. You can then choose how to set up hosting based on your affiliate marketing business needs and wants.

Option 1 - The first option is to set up hosting at a traditional web host. I recommend GoDaddy as I have used their services ever since I started my affiliate marketing business back in 2004. Web hosting setup is easy at GoDaddy. When you're just starting out you'll likely want to select the Economy Plan with a Linux server. You can upgrade to the Deluxe or
Unlimited plan as your internet business grows. You may also be interested in the Wordpress Hosting packages or a Virtual Dedicated Server. After you purchase a web hosting account from GoDaddy they send you complete instructions on how to set up web hosting which amounts to basically a few clicks of the mouse. In other words it's quite simple. You can also visit GoDaddy's Help Center and view their step by step instructions on how to set up web hosting.

Option 2 - Web Hosting Setup
The complete internet business package offered by Site Build It! includes domain registration and web hosting. The fact is you don't even have to know how to set up web hosting if you are using SBI. The process really takes place behind the scenes as you build pages with SBI's simple block-builder web design software or as you add pages that you built with an HTML editor. I have hosted sites with SBI in the past, in fact this site was originally hosted with SBI. The hosting feature at Site Build It! is just one of many aspects that can be utilized from SBI's suite of internet business building tools.

Once you have your web hosting setup, you can then upload your web pages via an FTP program or by using an easy website builder like SiteSpinner that provides a built-in FTP program to get your website online. I currently utilize the SiteSpinner and GoDaddy combination for all of the websites that I have built and manage.
