E-business Success. Simple. Real.




Since 1997, SiteSell.com has delivered "E-business success. Simple. Real." Over 100,000 entrepreneurs & small businesses outperform large competitors.
Clients tell us what they need to succeed. The result?

Site Build It!

"Why Just Build A Site
When You Could Build A Business?"
Site Build It! ("SBI!") is the only, all-in-one, site-brainstorming-and-building-and-hosting-and-marketing, step-by-step system of software tools that delivers thriving, profitable business.

The right process, the right tools that remove all the barriers and mysteries, correctly applied at the right time. That is how you grow long-term profits. And that is how SBI! works.

Major schools like The
Citadel Military College
offer SBI!. Why?
SBI! owners do not just "put up Web sites." They build genuine, profitable, evergrowing businesses. And that, in turn, delivers life-changing freedom (the "It!" in Site Build It!).

You can do the same, build Web sites that work, with SBI!.

Compare SBI! with other Web hosts.


What makes Site Build It! () so much better than all the old-fashioned small business hosting solutions ()? Only SBI! helps you build a genuine, profitable, evergrowing business. And that, in turn, delivers life-changing freedom (the "It!" in Site Build It!).

Let's assume that you have just decided to place your business at a typical, old-fashioned Web host (ex., Yahoo!, 1&1, etc.). Let's follow your progress.

First, why would you make this decision? It won't be due to overwhelming proof of success like this. There is none. Nor will you find a Family Bulletin Board -- they only take pride in financial statements (theirs). No, more than likely, you accepted the lure of cheap (even free!), quick, easy "business hosting."

Soon, though, you realize you are spinning your wheels. You need to upgrade to their "Professional Platinum Package" ($49.95/month). You buy two key add-on modules (yes, in addition to the Platinum, and each @ $19.95/month). And you have to hire a Webmaster to help you coordinate all this, as well as customize one of the programs that "came free" with your hosting ($1500).

In a few months, you're spending an hour or two per day researching the Web to "keep up" and trying to figure out how to build traffic. You're reading several Net marketing e-zines, worrying about technical and Search Engine issues (two of the Search Engine zines each cost another $97/year). And you're buying more and more expensive third-party software, on the excited say-so of this expert or that.

SBI! sites are largely in the Top 3%, as shown. And, after one year, SBI! owners have spent a fraction of your time and dollars. Every bit of that has gone into building a business, not fighting the barriers.

Non-SBI! site owners waste so much time and money chasing the holy grail of traffic. Despite paying all those dollars for "Platinum," Programmers and Powerful Packages, their sites site idle, unvisited.

They occupy the bottom of the triangle because they all follow the same doomed route. Here's the big picture, old-fashioned vs. SBI! comparison...

high prices (those add-ons add up) vs. one low price

major time loss (fighting barriers) vs. efficient focus on business

learning curves and complexity vs. "follow the Action Guide"

"marketing noise" chasing you at every turn vs. "follow the Action Guide"

no clean step-by-step process vs. "follow the Action Guide"

scattered information, process, and tools vs. complete and integrated set of the right tools

no knowledgeable community and culture of success vs. the help-and-be-helped SBI! Forums.

corporate focus on their bottom line vs. we focus on your bottom line.

Net comparison? Almost all non-SBI! sites languish unvisited. SBI! sites receive hundreds and thousands of visitors per day. Free, interested, warm visitors. Imagine what that would mean to your bottom line.

Build a successful website on your passion.


That's the big picture comparison.

You can start your own hosting service by signing up as a hosting reseller. Basically, what you do is get a reseller account like this one:



Then you can advertise for hosting services. Most people will solicit their own business from local needs. Basically, you rent a large chuch of server space and then sell out mini sites for different domain names. You set the price.

Or, you can use reseller hosting for your own domains if you have a bunch of them.

Reseller plans give you the ability to host as many domains as you'd like all under one affordable hosting plan. Whether you're a web hosting provider with an expanding client roster or a power user with dozens of sites you need to manage under one roof, reseller hosting packages will provide the tools and power that you need.

The StartUp package is A2 Hosting's most affordable Linux shared hosting package, but that doesn't mean that we cut corners or skimp on the hosting features. Keep in mind that you still receive the same top notch hosting support from the Guru Crew, superb website development capability and tools like Server Rewind that comprise the A2 Hosting Difference.

The StartUp package's 10 GB of disk space and 10 GB of monthly data transfer is an abundant amount of space to ensure that your site will have everything necessary to run at streamlined efficiency. This web hosting package is a stable launching pad for a growing site. The StartUp package, which includes Fanstastico making blog hosting and forum hosting effortless, is perfect for those webmasters that own single websites with the objective of maintaining traffic flows; website expansion for those who are more ambitious.

Personal Basic Plan

If you're on a budget, but still need the basics of personal web hosting and e-mail, then this plan is for you. Despite the reduced price, you'll have space, bandwidth, e-mail services, and features to get going.

Core Features1,000 MB Disk Space
Disk space refers to the amount of storage your account is allocated within its WestHost Virtual Private Server. This space is used to store HTML files, graphics, audio/video, e-mail messages, and any other files that are part of your Web site. Learn More

10 GB Bandwidth
Bandwidth refers to the amount of files that can be transferred to and from your Web site each month. This data includes html files, graphics, audio/video, e-mail messages, and any other files that are a part of your Web site.

3 E-mail / FTP Accounts
E-mail accounts are mailboxes for you and anyone else whom you want to give e-mail at your domain name. Once a user mailbox/account is set up, you can create as many forwarding addresses (aliases) as you want to go to that address.

1 Included Web site
This is the default Web site limit for your hosting account. Some plans allow for an unlimited number of Web sites while others allow multiple Web sites with a default limit. For limited accounts capable of supporting multiple Web sites, you can add an additional at any time for a $10 one-time fee (per Web site).

WestHost VPS Hosting Technology
Most Web Hosting companies offer "VIRTUAL" or "SHARED" hosting. This means you literally share your resources, applications and environment with potentially hundreds of other users in the same directory. With WestHost VPS Hosting Technology, a web server is divided into multiple isolated environments, offering independent server software, increased security, and much more control over your Web site.

Dedicated IP (Optional)
With most web hosts, one IP address is assigned to several domains and access to a domain is available only by its domain name. With WestHost, your Web site can have a unique and dedicated IP address. It is required for Anonymous FTP, private SSL certificates and certain applications.

Domain Management1 Included Web site
This is the default Web site limit for your hosting account. If your plan supports Multiple Web sites, you can increase the Web site limit of your account at any time for a $10 one-time fee (per Web site).

Site ManagementControl Panel (Site Manager)
Each web hosting account is managed with an online control panel (Site Manager). It allows setup and administration of e-mail / FTP user accounts, your own DNS, real-time statistics, web applications, and gives complete control over your web server, e-mail server, and ftp server settings.

Site Builder (Web site Creator)
Want to build a professional Web site without hiring a web designer? Our site builder (Web site Creator) allows you to create a presence online using only a web browser and Internet access.

Guestbook
With a guestbook, visitors to your site can post comments, or read those posted by others.

Site Search Engine
Perlfect Search is a sophisticated, powerful, versatile, customizable and effective site indexing/searching suite. Once installed, and your site indexed, your visitors can quickly find the information they need.

Microsoft FrontPage Support
FrontPage is an extremely popular web publishing application created for non-programmers. WestHost supports the use of FrontPage 2003, 2002, 2000, 98 and 97.

File Manager
WestHost's File Manager allows access to all your Web site files. You can navigate through directories as you would your own computer. Once in a particular directory, you can upload files, edit files, create new files and folders, download/view files, search, and more. For the advanced user, there is the ability to execute shell commands.

IP Filtering Utility
Use this utility to limit access to your site by filtering a single IP or a block of IP addresses. This can be a great utility, for blocking or allowing select individuals or entire countries to your Web site.

Apache Watchdog
Our system utilizes a unique "watchdog" system. This system checks the web service on every WestHost Virtual Private Server on our network every 30 seconds and restarts it if it's down. If the web service cannot be restarted, an e-mail is sent to you and our network engineers are immediately notified.

Apache Error Messages
This application will allow you to display a response of your choice as an alternative to conventional error messages such as: "404 Not Found". You can choose to display either a custom text message or a select web page.

StatisticsCounter
The Counter Site Application keeps track of the number of 'hits' to your web pages and displays them to visitors. You can choose from a few different display types.

E-mail / FTP Management3 E-mail / FTP Accounts
E-mail accounts are mailboxes for you and anyone else whom you want to give e-mail at your domain name. Once a user mailbox/account is set up, you can create as many forwarding addresses (aliases) as you want to go to that address.

Unlimited Forwarding & Aliasing
E-mail Aliases are forwarding rules for your e-mail. You create an e-mail address and decide to forward mail sent there to one or more specified e-mail addresses, e.g. forward mail sent to sales@abc.com over to joe@abc.com and mike@xyz.net.

Web Based E-mail (RoundCube)
Webmail is a secure web application that allows you to view e-mail stored on a mail server (rather than downloading it). You can access your e-mail directly from a web browser anywhere in the world. Some popular examples of other webmail applications are Hotmail and Yahoo Mail, but at WestHost, you'll use your own domain name.

Spam Protection
SpamAssassin is a popular SPAM filtering program that uses a set of rules to determine if incoming e-mail is potentially SPAM. It uses a scoring system to add or subtract points based on conditions that match certain rules, and, if enough points are recorded, marks it as SPAM.

IMAP/POP3 Protocols
WestHost offers both IMAP and POP3 e-mail protocols for accessing your e-mail. This ensures the greatest level of compatibility with your preferred e-mail client/program.

Autoresponders
Once set up, WestHost's autoresponder automatically returns a prewritten message to anyone who submits e-mail to a particular Internet address.

DevelopmentCGI-BIN
The CGI-BIN is a directory on the server where the executable CGI scripts reside. You have complete control over your CGI-BIN and can install any custom or 3rd party CGI scripts that you would like.
Perl
Perl is a server-side scripting language which is commonly used to write CGI programs. If installing your own applications, it is often a required that your server supports Perl.

PHP
PHP is a server-side scripting language where the PHP commands are embedded in the webpage's HTML. Many web applications require PHP.

Python
A popular server side scripting language, Python is used in many situations where a great deal of dynamism, ease of use, power, and flexibility are required.

Server Side Includes (SSI)
SSI (abbreviation for "Server-Side Includes") is a server-side scripting language. Common uses of SSI are to include or populate common areas of your Web site (e.g. a header or footer) from a single file. This way, you make the change to one file, and your entire site changes.

Support24/7 REAL Support
At WestHost, we know that web hosting is much more than price, space, and bandwidth. This is why we offer a level of 24/7 support and response times via toll-free phone, live chat, and e-mail that are unmatched in this industry.

The Best Web Site Hosting CompaniesAuthor: Blue Host

There are several website hosting services available providing the space on which one can host his website. These average web site hosting companies will even help their users to set up their own email addresses and provide them the ability to run their own scripts and programs.

Some hosting companies which are considered better than these average companies even provides the facility to their users to use a nice Eye Candy control panel that helps them to manage their site. Some times they'll even throw in a website statistics app as well. For most web site hosting companies that's about it! As many web site hosting services are least interested in providing more service to the users for their money.

Many people are satisfied with this, as they don't know that there's a lot more for running an Internet business than simply hosting the site.

Most of the people are unknown and don't know that there are several new companies out there offering way, way more than other companies. These companies serve best features with low cost. Thus the only thing required is that one needs to be well informed about good companies as well as should know the criterion to select an appropriate hosting company.

Features of a good hosting company
