Which Web Hosting Company is the Right One?

There are many companies which offer web hosting at variable rates. At a minimum, I found one with a monthly service. Most ask for a year or two upfront. When you contract for a longer period of time, the monthly payment figured in the contract will be lower.

If you enter the words "web hosting" into Google, you will be taken to www.findmyhosting.com. This is the first "natural" listing below the paid listings. They offer ten sites which they have rated from one to ten. From there, you can go to each web hosting company and see exactly what they offer.


www.my-retirement-project.com costs me $120.00 a year + a yearly renewal for the dot com. I have two sites and both are with the same company and cost the same for the year. The other one has no yearly renewal but it is not a dot.com. The second site is strictly a personal picture site for my vacations so my friends can see what's going on.

A prerequisite for Affiliate Marketing is a web site or several web sites. This is a decision which I must make in the next week. I will identify my hosting company and explain why I chose them after the contract is fulfilled.

See you tomorrow.......................

Hump Day

Wednesday is the day. I passed enough courses and milestones to reach a Class 5 designation. Ten is the highest, so I'm half way there!

I created a new blog yesterday to deal with part of the regimen of Affiliate Marketing. Author Napoleon Hill, researching his book in the 30s, discovered that about 500 of the richest people of the time had used a similar strategy to gain their success and wealth. In the new blog, I will detail the how and why of the method. Join us at: http://declarationregimen.blogspot.com


Until tomorrow..............................

Building a Web Page

Today's training is about building a web page for the Affiliate Marketing business. In a later post, I will detail a few companies that sell hosting services. I have three or four in mind at this point. I will tell you which one I chose but your choice is your own if you are interested.

In another segment of the retirement equation, the payment on my credit card just jumped by $100. I checked and the interest rate has been increased by more than 7% since last month. I am writing a letter to the credit card company to notify them that I am removing the monthly accounts, some of them Internet involved, from the card and will dispose of it as soon as possible. Additionally, I will be revealing the name of the company so others will not be subjected to the same treatment. I received no prior notice of the raise. Additionally, I was charged interest on a cash withdrawal which actually wasn't a cash withdrawal. UB charged $5 to make a deposit in my account. It was shown as a cash withdrawal on the credit card. Actually it occurred more than a year ago. How long does it take to pay off $5 when making timely payments each month? Stand by "credit card company"!

See you tomorrow.............

Another day in paradise

In addition to being a subtle way to add income to your retirement, affiliate marketing also qualifies you for tax deductions from the Fed and State income tax. Correct me if I am wrong, but that would be another way to save money. You may begin as a sole proprietor and upgrade that standing as your business grows.

I had seen the term LLC many times but had no understanding what it entailed. The course I took today described it as more than a DBA but less than a corporation. The individual or individuals composing the LLC show the income on their personal returns. LLC stands for limited liability company. The owners are personally shielded from the company but unlike a corporation, the taxes are levied on the owners and not the LLC.

I've reached level 4 of 10 in my rating in affiliate marketing. By the end of tomorrow, I hope to be at level 5. In order to get to level six, I must have daily traffic to my website equaling 3000 hits or more. That could take some extra effort.

Have a good evening...................
