Web Hosting Box

FiberMedia (www.fibermedia.net), a data center company declared the effective introduction of its Managed Cloud hosting along with successful installation in a multi-national organization on Thursday.

The launch has been made after the improvements in the data centers at Secaucus, New Jersey and Westchester, as well as the appointment of Robert Doherty for the post of Chief Financial Officer in February along with other useful recruitments.

FiberMedia states that the Managed Cloud hosting product of the organization comes with strict security and privacy checks. It is also compatible with many hosting applications including both Windows and Linux and allows clients to transfer existing tools and software without any additional changes.

Michael Bucheit, CEO of FiberMedia stated, “We realize that client needs differ substantially and one solution does not fit all. While our Managed Cloud supports self-provisioning, FiberMedia offers a full range of managed services to ensure a seamless integration and a reliable production environment. That is the only way that real cost savings can be achieved over time.”

The Managed Cloud hosting comes with two major benefits – computing and storage space in accordance with the client’s request for hosting applications operated on FiberMedia’s hardware; and flexibility such as on-request capacity for events when the client’s website experiences increasing website traffic. According to FiberMedia’s website, the Managed Cloud services of the organization are based on VMware vCloud solution set. However, the press release did not offer much information on the pricing of the Managed Cloud computing services.

Nevertheless, the cloud computing product page of the website offers different ways of getting in contact with the organization so as to get the price for Managed Cloud hosting.

Reselling web hosting services can be a difficult task, especially for an inexperienced webmaster that has never successfully built a hosting business. However, by creating appealing and unique hosting plans with reasonable profit margins, promoting to targeted audiences, and proactively marketing your services through a variety of avenues, it is possible to establish a significant client base rather quickly. Unfortunately, most resellers are only able to generate a small amount of income each month, as they are unable to find a large amount of clients that are willing to trust their hosting services. If you’ve been experiencing similar problems, then you may want to consider the following three ways to efficiently market a web hosting business.

Creating a Blog with Quality Content

It is well known fact that the best way to generate consistent web traffic on a residual basis is to utilize the immense power of the search engines. To do this you’ll need to populate your web hosting site with quality content related to various hosting topics. By building a blog within your hosting site you’ll not only attract search engine traffic based on keywords embedded within your blogs articles, you’ll also provide useful information to your visitors and thereby establish trust and professionalism more effectively. In fact, if your blog posts are informative enough other webmasters and web surfers will link to your site on their blogs, and will link their friends to your pages when they are in need of information. To maximize your traffic generating efforts it is important to ensure proper keyword density and usage within each blog post.

Newsletters and Press Releases

Another way to proactively market your hosting services and expand your web presence is to publish high-quality press releases on popular websites. A press release is simply a news story that professionally describes the products and services offered by your hosting company. This ultimately improve search engine optimization efforts and generates a significant amount of traffic originating from the sites that the press releases are posted on. After soliciting a client base and collecting a large number of e-mail addresses it would be beneficial to market additional services to your pre-existing and former clients, as you can be sure that this is a targeted audience that will bring high conversion rates.

Purchasing Banner Space

Another great way to attract prospective customers and expand your market outreach is to purchase banner space on established web hosting review sites, and the websites of other hosting providers. These sites are frequently visited by people that are most likely interested in purchasing hosting services on an ongoing basis. By marketing to a targeted audience through custom designed banners on websites that have significant traffic levels you can begin seeing significant results within just a couple of weeks.

Availing a webhosting plan becomes inevitable when you are running your own site. A lot of people think getting a webhosting plan may mean you need to put in lot of effort or worry about the server etc, however, the fact is, web hosting is pretty simple to administer. Nevertheless, there are a few things that often keep on arising in the minds of people regarding the need of web hosting, so take a look.

• Well, first of all you need to know what a web hosting really is. It is basically a service that enables your site to get viewed from across the globe. It implies that a web hosting plan can help your site get innumerable visitors from around the world. This consequently is extremely beneficial since whatever site you are operating, the main purpose is usually getting innumerable views.
• Over the time, having an online presence of your business has become almost indispensable. Now whether your business is about selling ideas, products or services, you definitely need to have a website of your own to increase the chances of alluring customers globally. So, this is when a web hosting plan can be of immense help for you and your site.
• In case you are worried about having a web server, you had better throw your worries away because there isn’t really much to fret about a web server. You may require some assistance of an IT expert if your site starts getting more traffic and you plan to get a dedicated server otherwise there is hardly anything you need to worry about. Mostly the services you acquire are coupled with various apps that are meant to make things easier for the users.
• Web hosting plans aren’t as expensive as you think they are. In fact, the advantages you get after spending a few bucks are absolutely no match for the free web hosting plans. Basically the free-of-cost web hosting plans though sound tempting are not that advantageous since you will neither be able to fully manage your site on your own nor will have the liberty to choose your own domain name, which often is pretty important to promote your business.
• Now an important thing regarding the web hosting services is that there are quite a number of different types of webhosting plans so you need to know which one suits your site’s needs. See, if you have just started running a new site, you had better go for  a shared webhosting but in case you are old in this business and your site receives loads of traffic, you definitely need to go for a dedicated server. VPS server is also there which you should go for if your site gets heavy traffic.

Apart from some of these above mentioned benefits and characteristics of webhosting, you can also turn it in a lucrative business by going for reseller program.
