Reblog of blosgs 7-9 for final grade

Well, I have finally found a hosting company for my bio page. I did a lot of research on hosting companies, and found most you have to pay a small fee a month for themto host the account. I found a free hosting companies, but some are difficult and some it is free for the hosting site but you must pay for the domain name. At websitesource.com charges 6.97 or 30.97 a month for just hosting if you choose their hosting with ecommerce it is 199 a month, they do have payment gateways available. The at web.com it is 11.95 for hosting and 59.95 for ecommerce hosting, they also offer search engine optimization. Webhostingsearch.com list companies you can use for your hosting. It does not show any free hosting companies. Jumpline. com claims to be a free hosting site, but it is only free for three months and you have to give them a credit card number when you sign up. So then I went to x10hosting.com signed up with them got a domain name made up, got confirmation code and entered it and then when tried to go to account manager file it would not let me. So it was really frustrating with the hassle. I tried to call their customer service but you have to leave a voicemail and it says only paying customers willl have their messages returned. So then I submitted a ticket for help online and got a weird message and no reply to issue. After all the fustration I gave up and found a different host. I then went to bravenet.com and got set up and confirmation code and then I had to set up a domain name and they charge for that 8.95 a year. The problem I had is that I did not have the money at the time. I will be doing that today or tomorrow and uploading my page to the site once have domain name. Bravenet seems very user friendly, not a lot of things to fill out. They also have a lot of extra features that are available for use. I like them. I am hoping the domain name for my bio page will be www.mickeyrhodybiowebclasspage.bravenet.com.
For the business site I am working on the owner already got a hosting name through godaddy.com. We are looking for the best hosting site to put the site on that has the least advertising on it. He says we can go through godaddy.com if we need to, but all his other phone services are with ATT and we are going to look into their hosting services. ATT offered two hosting plans, one with with windows and one without, they both have ecommerce service with them. The one with windows also has compatiblity with frontpage. So if you go with ATT we will go with the window plan since I used expressions to design the site. The plan is 11.65 a month.
Now for search engines. I have done a lot of research and have found a few sites and learned some differences. I have learned there are search engines and there is directories. I know where I go for a search engine I want with the most popular sites to upload to. I think I might even sign up with a company that registers you with many search engines. google.com/addurl lets you register but it seems by the research that when you register with them that is the only search engine you are registered with. it you for to quickregister.com it is free, fast, and easy and registeres you with 300 major search engines. At addpro.com to is free and registers yo to 18 top search engines. Searchengineoptimising.com/free-search-engine-submission you can register with you URL to over 100 search engines like google. At wordsinarow.com/wheretogo.html they give list of companies to get into directories. At walthowe.com/pubweb/promote/regosterse.html gives you advise for the best way to do search engines and lets you know you need to register with the top 8 search engines for sure and gives you a list of them. They also tell you the difference in search engines and directories and they give you a list of the top three directories with yahoo being the major one. At htmlgoodies.com/beyond/reference/article.../3472921 is an article that gives you vital information to help you know how to register you site with a search engine. One other free search engine site is register.com.
Okay now even though both sites I am working on there is not really a need for interaction add-ons. On my bio page I did put a hyperlink for my blog, but I do not see a reason for any other interactions at this time. As time goes by and I have more time I might add to it and make it my business page for all the extra services I hope to be doing. I did research on them for future use.
Interactions are tools for creating interactive info to keep your guest on your site longer. At freefind.com allows you to add powerful search engines. Bravenet.com allows mailing list, guestbooks, hit counters, search engines, forum processors, greeting cards, and web counters. At zoomerang.com they allow you to create surveys and feedback forums. Raptivity.com/webexpert/index.html is the only I found that charges a free to use their features. They do offer a lot of features and options, but they are a little expensive and it looks a little difficult. If you were going to be adding a lot of interactions then this would probably be the site you would want to go to and pay the fee for a lot of things you need to do what you need to do. When and if I am going to add interactions to my sites I would probably try bravenet.com first and then zoomerang.com out of the ones I looked at.
Finally, is the shopping cart once again I do not see a need for these on either of my sites I am currently working on, but I did research them for in the future. These sites are companies that collect payment for you and are called payment processors and sometimes can be expensive to deal with and have long applications for you ti fill out before you get approved. They have difficult set ups and require some programming skills to start. With research you may get lucky and find places that are not so difficult. You can go to help.godaddy.com/article/765 to get advice and help on easy way to do it. You go to ecommerce option under plugins to build your site. That is the catch it looks like you have to build you site on godaddy at the same time. If you go to shopsite.com you can add order buttons to your site. Then if you go to ecommerce-guide.com/.../shopping-carts/articl.../3604511 you can find more help. The last site I looked at was ecommercetemplates.com it looked interesting but with out registering could not get much information. I think if you are selling products online you definently need to have a shopping cart on your site. It might even be something you might add to a small business site if you would like to give your customers the options of paying online their invoices, it would be a way to get money quicker.
I will be uploading and putting live on the web the bio page I did for the class assignment. I will probably keep it and make some changes to it and then maybe eventually make it a side business page to make extra money. I will be hosted by bravenet.com hopefully domain name will be mickeyrhodybiowebclasspage.bravenet.com. I put a link to my blog page on the site. I will be zipping the business website I am working on to my teacher to see I have done what was suppose to be done and once Precision Sealants site is done with will be hosted by AT&T most likely, with a domain name of www.precisionsealants.net from godaddy.com. It contains 8 to 10 pages with text and pictures and as the company grows the site will grow and will be changed and updated as find new things needed to make it better. It tells about the company, the services, the projects, the employees, employment, how to contact them, and a photo gallery. I most likely will be using a search engine site that registers site with more than one search engine. I will also sign them up with a directory or two.
I am not planning to register my bio page with a search engine or directory at this time because it is not really ready for anyone to see.
The two sites that I have found to like with the most features for the most reasonable price is godaddy.com and bravenet.com, then for search engines I really like quickregister.net.
