Introduction
Can you remember back before the internet? What were companies like? How was advertising done? How was research about a product done? All of these questions are things that a historian might ask about. Each of these pose a significant question, particularly that of researching products. Before the internet who did you have to trust with making decisions about how good a product was? Your friends? Not that there is anything wrong with your friend, but it is a fact, most people are biased, it is simply unavoidable. From company websites you can see how the ‘top dogs’ really want to run their company and what they value, this can be a very positive thing for any consumer.
Step 1
In order to create a website for your company you will need a company hosting service. What a company hosting service allows you to do is, well, host your company’s website. In order to explain how this works you will need to have a basic understanding of the internet. Hosting a website is not a cheap thing to do it requires a server that is continually connected to the internet with the proper amount of bandwidth. This costs a lot of money to maintain, and so, as a result, you end up with company hosting services that have the best equipment for all of this and enough bulk to make a profit off of it.
Step 2
When you are looking around at different company hosting services to host your company’s website you need to watch out for a few pit falls. Look out for services that claim to have unlimited … as they often result in having unlimited … but very, very limited … this can lead to enormous problems depending on what the main use of your website is.
Step 3
Try to look for company hosting services that allow you to have a fairly balanced amount of everything, this will allow you to be able to kind of move between tactics as you are new to the game. You can feel out what you like the best and what you feel is working the best for your clients. Another key thing to look for in company hosting services is upgradeability.
Step 4
If you find a company hosting service that offers good upgradeability you will be glad that you chose them in the long run, as you will not have to ‘transplant’ your website when you max out one of the areas that are essential to running your company. This causes a lot of problems for every one the clients, you, and the company hosting services.
Step 5
Does using a company hosting service work? Yes… right now it is about the only effective way to provide your clients with a website with all of your information on it. Saying this there are still other ways to host a website, but they are much less… practical.
Tips
The effectiveness of your website actually has nothing to do with the company hosting service that you use, unless they don’t register your website with Google. The effectiveness of your site comes down to the content that is provided by you, and what is put on the website remember, it takes a while for word to get around that you have a website, be patient and soon it will be well know that you are on the internet, up to date and modern.

So, as you can see, creating a website is not all that hard, it just takes a bit of effort from yourself to provide content that is good, finding a good company hosting service, while important, is not essential to having a successful website. Think of a company hosting service like storage. While it is very helpful it by no means tells what the success of your business will be.
