"My New website"


          

Last week My mySpace was hacked into by some guys and my site was just ruined. Unlike every other user in there, i didnt only use my page as just a personal profile. I also used it promote to my short story books that i write. With rusty thoughts i was willing to spend a little money on getting my own site. So i was searching the web for an online website solution And i found www.ekwa.com that is specially giving out free sites with the options of blogs and articles all in one site. How cool is that! Now i know why Jesus said 'Search and you shall find'.

I let you guys peak my new site once i have uploaded all material. Im so excited!

If you are serious about having a web site and especially one for business you will want to stay away from free web sites. Your experience with MySpace should have taught you that lesson.

The free sites have limitations that are there so you will get tired of them and "upgrade" to a paid account. They generally have ads on them and you don't gain any credibility with that kind of a site.

Since you can register your own domain name for $7-$15 a year and sometimes get a free site as well, wouldn't that make more sense? You can also have an email address that is at your domain and not someplace like AOL or Hotmail. It can really help the image of your business a lot.

And if you need to get your own web site because your domain registar does not offer one, you can also get them really, really cheap these days. How cheap? Well, I would say about $5 a month, more or less depending on the company and they kind of account that you want.

Oh, I forgot to mention that if you have your own site you can also have all of your site files. if something should happen to the hosting company, you can take your site to another host and you're back in business.

I have to agree with the previous post. You should look into getting your own domain and web site. They are very affordable now, and most of them include some type of web site builder, so you don't need to know how to do it yourself.

Low search engine placement? I'll manually submit your site, or your client's sites, to over 400 directories. You get the one-way links the search engines love. PM for details.
