How many websites do you need?

If your entire business is based on the web then I would recommend a second website on a separate hosting account in a different country. The old saying ‘What can happen will happen’ always rings true with me. From personal experience I had a website hosted with one of the biggest hosting firms in the U.S. There was a fire at the data centre and our server was taken out. The company was backing our site up to a remote server at a different site. It took three weeks to get back online, we lost allot of sales from this. I now have a few sites and so I can always get leads and sales from either site, I can direct customers to which ever site is live.

Who do I host my New Website with?

Hosting is a very important decision as well as which country to host your website. If you are hosting your website in the u.k on a .co.uk domain name then I would suggest giving us a call first. Hosting is not just about price. Performance and reliability are the most important things to consider when purchasing your new hosting package. Your website needs to be live 100% of the time (or as near as you can get it). If your website is down for 1 week and you are getting all your leads and traffic from it then you are in trouble. We recommend two websites for a business to give a backup if one goes down. The second website does not have to be fancy just functional to give your customers contact with you.

Choosing the right Domain Name for your website

Choosing the right domain name is very important. If you live in the U.K always register a .co.uk domain name and host your website on a .co.uk if you plan to target the u.k for business. Google seems to like the .co.uk domain name if you are based in the u.k. If you are in business all over the world (online shop selling global) then it is best to go for a .com. Choosing the right words for your domain name is becoming harder as more names are taken. My advice is to give us a call and we can look into the best direction for the words in your domain name. It is no accident you have reached this page of worcesterwebsites blog. We have found over the past few years using the city of your business in your domian name can give you better local listings in google. I think this may be changing slowly now as google is onto this little technique. We offer domain name registration and consultation about choosing the right domain name as part of our online marketing.
