Building a Customer List With Small Business Web Hosting Plans
If you are looking for a way to build a customer list online, you may need to look no further than WingSix's small business web hosting plans. They offer unlimited mailing lists to their customers. Set up a list for sale notifications and add a subscription form to your site and you are set. Of course, it takes a bit more work than that to convince people to sign up for your customer mailing list. Today's website visitors want to get something besides a few more emails jamming up their mailboxes. Free reports, entries into monthly drawings and samples are all great ways to convince visitors to sign up for your mailing list.

Choosing the Right Domain Name for Successful Business Web Page Hosting
If you are fortunate to have a business web page hosting company that offers free domain names with your hosting package, like the type of packages offered from WingSix, you will need to be have a domain name in mind as you set up your new account. Before signing up with WingSix to host your web page, consider carefully the domain name you want to use. Of course, you can't choose just any domain name and have a successful business. To make sure you pick the right domain name, you should:

• Make sure any names you are considering do not have any words you don't want associated with your business in the middle of them when the words making up the name are combined.
  
• Never have more than one hyphen in the domain name and try to avoid having any hyphens. Search engines don't like them and it is hard for people to remember the hyphens when they type the domain name in the browser window.
  
• Buy the .info and .net domains along with the .com domain of your choice to keep other people from trying to use your future popularity by having the same name with a different extension.

Choosing the Right Type of Business Web Site Hosting
If you are new to the Internet world, you are probably feeling a bit uncertain about what kind of business web site hosting you will need. Shared servers, virtual private servers and dedicated servers are all available. How do you figure out which of these is right for you? Business web site hosting services such as WingSix offer a perfect solution for these businesses - virtual private servers. To decide on the right type of server for your web site, you should consider your budget and how much space and bandwidth each type offers. While many web businesses do need more than inexpensive shared server space, few of them need to pay for big budget dedicated server space. Consult with your WingSix professional to determine the exact server requirements and desireables needed for your business web site hosting server.

Positioning Yourself for Success with Small Business Hosting Solutions
Small business hosting solutions can help you build a more successful business with some of the services they offer. Before you choose a small business web hosting service, you should look for one of these services - unlimited subdomains for your site. Hosting companies like WingSix offer subdomains for business websites because they know that they can really help keep sites organized. A few ways to use subdomains with your website include:

• Tracking your traffic. Many online businesses like to track the success of their campaigns and having different ads leading to different subdomains is an easy way to do that tracking.
• Keeping businesses with many different products from creating confusing sites. Subdomains are ideal for businesses that plan to expand with very different product lines.

Professional Business Hosting Tips
If you are designing a business site, you should consider using a few professional business hosting tips to help your site be successful. While you may be tempted by flashy, new technology, you should keep in mind that the most important thing about a business web site is that it must be easy for customers to use. To make sure your site is user friendly, WingSix suggests these tips:

• Consider how easy it is to view the site. Harsh colors and fancy fonts are fine for personal sites, but they can destroy an online business.
• Make sure your site has contact information prominently displayed. Customers don't want to play hide and seek with your email address or other contact information. They want that information to stand in front of them and jump up and down to attract their attention.

Start Off Right with Affordable Business Web Hositing
When you have a brand new small business, it feels like everyone has plans for your money. It only makes sense to save on expenses where you can and using free web hosting is one great way to do so, right? Actually, using affordable business web hosting from WingSix is much better than free hosting options. Free hosting is a bad idea for business start ups because:

• Free hosting sends a clear message to anyone who is familiar with the Internet that you aren't serious enough about your business to invest a little cash in an inexpensive website.
• Free hosting isn't really free. The hosting company offering hosting to you will be placing ads on your site, often for your competitors.
• Free hosting companies do not usually provide enough storage space and bandwidth for you to build a decent sized site.

Tracking Your Business With Small Business Hosting Services
Your small business hosting service doesn't just provide you with a place to host your website. You can also track some important business information using your hosting service. Small business hosting services like those found at WingSix offer several statistic programs that keep track of everything from the number of visitors you have to where they come into your site and where they leave. You can discover how they found the site and what words they used to find it. You can even find out how long they stayed on your site. Analyzing all of this information can help you make adjustments that will make your business more successful.

Using Linux Hosting to Create a Website
If you were concerned about using the lower priced Linux hosting instead of Windows hosting, don't be. Linux hosting is only cheaper because it is open source software. What does this mean? Simply put, your hosting company WingSix did not have to pay big licensing fees to use it and is passing the savings on to you. Even better, Linux is actually more reliable, since it rarely crashes and has had many more years to work out bugs than Windows servers.

Using Small Business Web Site Hosting Services to Bring Traffic to Your Site
Small business web site hosting companies have several services that can help bring traffic to your new business site. One service that can really help boost traffic to your site is all of those extra email addresses that WingSix delivers as part of your small business web site hosting plan. Use one of the email addresses to create a place for visitors to send contest entries. Since people enjoy winning free products and services, contests are a great way to drive traffic to your site. Of course, you should be sure you do not break any state or country contest regulations before you start your contest, so do a bit of research before you create and advertise it.
