A Review Of The FatCow Hosting Company

Fatcow is a web hosting company that attracts lots of customers. It offers many specials and features that set it apart from other web hosting companies. There are many "give-aways" involved in this. Let us review some of the salient features of FatCow hosting.

FatCow's rates are the lowest on the Net. The rate is so low that a burger would be more expensive than that. FatCow provides unlimited disk space, bandwidth, mail boxes, and various other features which are affordable to offer for only a few web hosting companies.

FatCow provides Miva Merchant on all web hosting accounts - a shopping cart which is by far the best on the Net. With their easy to use tools it is possible to set up an online store within minutes. With the registration comes a free domain which is there for keeps. With one account any number of domains can be hosted; a benefit which no other company has offered yet. This sure is a cost saving feature which helps in attracting several aspirants to have accounts with this company.

Along with this, FatCow has software that can enable an account holder to build a website. A step by step website builder offers people who are new to the business a simple, do it yourself opportunity to create their own website. Even without knowledge of HTML, this can be accomplished. Of great assistance is the drag and drop feature.

The control panel is also full of features that are easy to use, even by a novice user. Navigation menus are simple and easy to understand, with help available immediately should one require further assistance. This simplicity of design makes it an immense time saver, which is important to most account holders.

The registered members get huge discounts on when they use Google to advertise. The same goes with other websites like Yahoo and other prominent sites.

WordPress is totally integrated within the software and it can be used immediately after registering. It is a great advantage for those who are eager to create their blogs. A free account with FatCow even gets a free entry in the yellow pages. So one gets to advertise without having to pay for it.

They also provide a free-phone number which can be used by the users. The website tracks and manages the calls. No special equipment is required and this is highly beneficial to the customers as they can easily contact their suppliers whenever the need arises.

They have a 24 hour chat room, where they attend to any problems faced by the users. It is a huge advantage to new comers, as they will have a lot of questions in the beginning and they will get their answers at their own convenient times, as the chat room is available all the time.

'Upperhost' that is known for its unbiased reviews has given FatCow a place among the top ten web hosting companies. Even several other sites have endorsed it as being one of the best web hosting companies.

Free Blog Hosting Sites

Posted by Fajar.A

1) Blogger.com
This site is one of the most if not the most popular free blog hosting site. You can instantly create a blog and start writing on various topics. The positives about using Blogger.com are that it is spidered often, and your blog link will be in the path of the spider, enabling your new blog to be spidered quickly.
Once your blog is spidered, the search engines will continue to visit your blog for updates.
Signup link: http://www.blogger.com/


2) Journalhub.com
This is a newer site, not as popular, but is a very solid choice for blog hosting. Your account is setup instantly.
Signup link: http://journalhub.com/summary.php?op=RegisterStep0


3) Aeonity.com
This site also gives you the ability to create an instant blog site.
Signup link: http://www.aeonity.com/


4) Ebloggy.com
This site also allows free blog hosting.
Signup link: http://www.ebloggy.com/


You can register with any of the above sites to start your own blog, but as I mentioned earlier I prefer to have my own site host my blog. Another option is to have two blogs.
My recommendation would be to create what I like to call a sub-blog, where the blogger.com blog would be a blog you update from time to time that discusses topics dealing with your main blog.
You should have links pointing from your blogger.com blog to your main blog site. The reason you are doing this is because blogger.com is spidered often and by default your blog with blogger.com, which is your sub-blog will also be spidered.
Since your sub-blog will have links to your main blog it can also aid in having your main blog site spidered more quickly.


Hosting Your Own Blog

Hosting your own blog gives search engines a reason to keep revisiting your website. It is important as I mentioned before that you update your blog several times per week.
Below you'll find some recommended free software for hosting your own blog.


WordPress
All my blogging sites use WordPress as I believe it is the best blogging script available. It's very easy to install and you can go live within just a few minutes.
Download: http://wordpress.org/download/
By default WordPress gives you the ability to choose if you want Search Engine Friendly URLS for your blog, but I've taken that a step further.
You will only be able to follow the instructions I'm giving below if you already have WordPress installed.
If you have WordPress installed add this line of code to your "Permalinks" section:
/%postname%.htm
Input the above code into the line that says "Custom Structure" and ensure that you have the check placed in the "Custom, specify below" under Common Options.
What this does is give your blog highly optimizable search engine friendly URLS. Every blog post you make will have a keyword rich URL based on the subject of your blog. For example if your blog post was "Caribbean Recipes" your URL would be http://yoursite.com/caribbean-recipes.html.
It's a nice handy trick to get more search engine friendly URLS out of WordPress to ensure that your keywords appear not only in the subject but also in the page URL.
