Getting Started

Planning

Every business need a plan, the same is true for online business. With a guide on How to Select an Online Business to Start, you will find out the right Niche to web site or blog.

Build it

There are many ways to build up your online business web site, but a content management system is the best choice to most of beginners, which will allow you focus on the content of the site instead of the detail technology stuffs, such as HTML, JavaScript, etc.

There are many famous open source CMS application which you can use as free. The most popular one for Blog is WordPress (Blog is a type of CMS site as well). I use this for my Blog as well.

If you really want to develop a site, personally, I would like recommend you to oursourcing this effort to a professional web design company. Creating a new site will need a lot of knowledge if you are not a web developer before.

Hosting

There are 2 hosting services I would like to recommend here. Both of them I have worked for long with. I quite enjoy their service so far.

iPower Hosting

iPower is the web host I am using for this blog. I have found their customer service excellent and the features they provide are also very attractive. With a cost of only $4.95/month, I believe they are one of the best budget web hosts around.
