I was just looking back to my old classrooms and a most frequently asked question by my teachers- “Who do you want to become in future?” The answers were almost similar and repeated like “doctor”, “engineer”, “teacher” and so many. But at that time I never used to hear an answer like a “Web Hosting Reseller” or like “I want to begin a website development company”. But, this is a question frequently searched by many job seekers or freelancers- “Should I become a Web Hosting Reseller” or “How can I become a Web Hosting Reseller” etc. If you are having a question within, I can tell you one thing- Yes, you can! Of course, this is a growing trend and you can surely be successful. But before making a final decision, you have to be very clear about certain things. Web India Solutions can suggest certain tips regarding this.

First of all, what is Reseller Hosting? Since you are a person who wishes to become a web hosting reseller, you might know the answer. Anyway, if you want to get a form of definition, I will define it as a form of web hosting in which you have the right to use the allotted space or bandwidth to host websites on behalf of third parties. That is, you can buy some space from a larger web host like HostGator and sell this space for your own redistribution. You can own that space, divide it and let your clients host their websites.

In reseller hosting, you will be getting a blank portion of the host’s servers. But, you can resell this space without the involvement of this larger host and you are the only person to get the rewards. In this post, we will see some tips on the things you will need to focus to become a successful web hosting reseller.

Learn The Basics:

Whatever be the business, you have to study the basics very well. So, grab the basic knowledge of web hosting technology. General computer knowledge, software basics, even knowing CMS (Content Management System) etc will do great. A little awareness of Linux, Windows and common coding languages like PHP, jQuery, Apache, Ajax, etc. will help you a lot. If you don’t have basic knowledge about a product, you can hardly sell atleast one of them. At first, you will find the world quite unfamiliar and strange; but invest your time and learn well.

Invest Your Time and Energy:

Running a web hosting service is not an easy task. You have to keep the server run smoothly to make your customers stay forever with your business. If you are ready to face the hard time you sit staring at your monitor and resolving all technical issues, then this is really an interesting job to build a good career. You will find managing a hosting business really fun and enjoyable. Give priority to resolve any issues of the day than anything else. If you are a person who can’t imagine a full day in front of computer, then you can continue your job search for any other business you enjoy.

Capital:

As in any other business, you should have some amount of money to invest in web hosting business also. The reseller plans may not cost much. But, you may not find good returns for the first few months. Initially, you can start with a small purchase that fits your pocket. It is always better to start with small investment and grows gradually than to start with huge amount.

For any business, a well designed logo is very important for the ultimate success. With proper integration of well chosen characters, it builds up your corporate identity. By conveying the correct message, a logo is the most important part of branding. A logo is the first thing your customers see about your business.

A logo should be the perfect integration of business and art. Logo may be Typographic, Symbolic or combination of both. The perfect selection of either of these can produce high impact on your business identity. Depending on your product or service, you can create your business logo.

Typographic Logos

A typographic logo is comprised solely of letters, numerals or similar font-based characters. By giving necessary formatting to these characters with graphical interface, these logos vary in size, color and interface. Mostly, a Typographic logo is used to advertise the brand name of an organization. But, to use this kind of logo, your company name should be short as well as meaningful. If you are trying to create a memorable brand name, then this logo is useful.

Symbolic Logos

Normally, symbols are used when you have to translate a complex idea into a simple form. By mixing necessary graphic images, we can directly translate your business ideas into simpler way. Same as the previous case symbolic logos suit to particular type of businesses only. In case of companies with long or complex names, it is very hard to create typographic logo. This type logo designing requires larger marketing investment and a little more effort when compared to typographic logos.

Combining Typographic and Symbolic

The main task of logo is to convey your brand idea in simple way. When combining typographic and symbolic logos, you can include both brand name as well as some symbols. This type of integration results in more unique design as it is a combination of both. This type of logo design is ideal for new businesses.

The major step towards SEO is finding out a good web hosting company. The wellness of a website depends on the proper selection of web host. Selecting the right web hosting company determines how successful the website is.

SEO involves several techniques to promote a website via programming and content so that it gets listed in the search results. So, it is important for the recognition of the organization to have a good SEO hosting provider. Let’s see the features of a good SEO hosting service provider:

 Location: Before deciding your SEO hosting service provider, study your audience first. Know whether your website visitors are coming from your locality or you are having global audience. If you are selecting a web hosting provider in your locality, then you can cater your SEO services to target local market.

IP Address: Confirm the type of IP address that you are going to get from the service provider. There are two types of hosting namely joint and stand alone. But, if you are aiming SEO, then it is always better to choose it with a committed Internet protocol.

Database and encoding language supplied: For developing a website, specific database and encoding language are required. Consider the SEO hosting provider’s offer upon that also.

Mistakes To Be Avoided By Designers

For any profession, there are some do’s and don’t do’s. In this post, we will come across certain things that designers have to follow.  Some of these points can be applied to your field also.

Waiting = Wasting

You might have been the best student during your graduation days or have spent many hours of classes or seminars. You might also be a person with strong knowledge base on Photoshop, JQuery, Flash and many more. You have even built your own portfolio. Now, don’t waste a single second by sitting back and thinking what next. I’ve seen many freelancers ruining their own career by waiting for opportunities come their way. The result is that customers or employers will be finding someone else who is active in your field. So, keep yourselves active in your field.

  • Now what are the ways to stay active in design industry?
  • Involving yourself in a community of designers and developers.
  • Be active in social networks.
  • Take old designs and improve on them.
  • Work for free for friends or non-profit organizations.
  • Research on new design trends.
  • Create your own design strategy.

Think Think and Think:

Whatever you are going to design or develop, let it be yours only. Just think what’d be the best for this site or which design is going to best suit this particular website. Don’t create boundary to your thoughts. Referring other designers’ works for new idea is actually an old idea. Always remember that you cannot always create something your own by reference. So, stop searching and create your own design.

Creating your Niche:

Everyone is having their own area of expertise and interest. So, don’t doubt to focus on your area of interest as you are the one who can do it at the best. By moving away from your area of expertise, or thinking of other landscape which you are unfamiliar, you can’t be much productive. This will be detrimental to your career. So, by focusing on what you can do the best, you can produce the best results.

This doesn’t mean to avoid all related fields in your industry. I have heard that learning the basics of photography will help designers to understand color, 3D space, composition etc. But, the most important focus should be on design itself.

Many companies are having a tendency to target global market rather than trying locally. They are underestimating local clients without knowing that they are immensely valuable. Many big corporate firms stand out in competition only because of their strong business base formed by former clients.

We can simply classify clients based on certain criteria:

  1. The first category clients mainly commission you for a small design or redesign. They may not be a client with good project knowledge and with limited budget. In such kind of business- client relationships, there is a lot of chance to break off relations.
  2. The next category clients are actually your friends. In this relationship, both parties enjoy mutually beneficial relationship. You will be always the first person they consult when they need a service.
  3. The final category is truly amazing with providing you wonderful customer experience. They will be aiming at a long term relationship with you and are even ready to provide discounts to just work with you.

So, we have to get more clients falling in the third category. We must have clients who can make sales for us. There are some tricks to win hearts of clients and make them sell for you.

Be Frank:

Web India Solutions has many prospect clients who came to us after facing difficult experience with previous firms in website development industry. Don’t make any unrealistic promise to your client as this can lead to time and money loss to them. If you are able to maintain an open heart relationship with your client, then he will be very loyal after project completion.

Offer Free Consultation:

We have always experienced during our initial communication with our clients that providing some sort of valuable information to the client will make a good impression in their mind. Never mind about benefits always. We are not going to lose anything if we are providing new information to someone. You can win hearts of many people and they will feel free to reach you for their next project.

Introduce Something New:

If you come to know that the client is working on a new strategy, then suggest an expert or someone in your contacts to introduce your client. So, anytime they need any kind of service, they will contact you to know whether there is somebody in your list to help them.

Be Adaptable:

When a client gives you something without mentioning their budget or timeline, don’t take advantage of that project. Promise yourself that you will never dime your client for an extra few hundred dollars. This will help you in the return of your clients manifold times.

To conclude, I must say, know your clients with all aspects. Discover their likes and dislikes. Do something for them that you can do. Make clients your fans. Hey will bring wonderful sales return to you.

The latest endeavor of Google was announced on April 4th, 2012- Project Glass. It allows users to text messages, video chatting and view information, all with the aid of just a glass. I’d love to call this new release as a coolest or crazy release from Google.

According to the video released by Google, we can see that these glasses allow us to respond to notifications in with own voice. People actually will really like this glass if they never mind their ‘looks’!!

Since these glasses are having a funny look, Google is advertising it with pretty models and cool looking men. I feel these glasses like something we wear in laboratories or workshop. Anyway, youngsters always welcome new trends and they actually don’t care these prototype design and appearance. All these physical barriers will be broken if we see the incredible functionalities of these glasses.

So, actually the look doesn’t matter. In the midst of these rumors and gossips, let’s wait and see to welcome the Project Glasses. They are expecting to launch the Google’s Project Glass by the end of 2012.

Things Not To Be Done On Facebook

I have seen many people doing repeated mistakes while using Facebook. In this post, we just have a glance at certain points where we should take care.

Creating Multiple Profiles:

If you are having two accounts, and if Facebook catches you, they will shut your account down. Also, there is no need of creating two profiles to one person. It is simply like having dual personality. It becomes very tough to update the two accounts all the time. Also, the lines between personal and professional profiles are always blurring. And if you don’t want to make a transparent cover between your personal and professional images, you can change this at privacy settings in Facebook. So, it is really useless to create multiple profiles in Facebook.

Creating Business Profile Instead of a Page

If you own a business, then you should have a business page on Facebook, not another profile. To make your business incredible and increase value to your business, Facebook fan page has enough options to you. To get the effective marketing experience from Facebook, you have to create a Facebook fan page. Don’t think that creating a profile for your business will do more than creating a page, you are wrong.

Turning Off Wall Posts for Your Business Page

The main agenda behind Facebook is to make your business social. It comes up with more customer interaction, business engagement and many more. So, it is not wise to turn off comments on your business page. This is hindering the actual pupose of social media.

Not Updating Your Business Page

Creating a page and leaving as such will not do anything. Frequent updation of your Facebook fan page is needed. Adding valuable comment, engaging with customers etc are needed. As I always tell, add some viral content. Today, Facebook has proved to be a valuable business tool for business. So, make use of it to the maximum.

If you have made any mistakes being in Facebook or if you have seen somebody doing mistakes in Facebook, share with us. We can learn more by erasing all our mistakes together.

At its initial start up stage, Cloud computing was having a negative impact over the IT field. Many IT experts and researchers mentioned Cloud computing as a technology to ruin new career opportunities. But, it is opening new ways to a big revolution of business opportunities world wide. By 2015, about 14,0000000 career options will be sprouted up world wide according to a study conducted by Microsoft.

Since many huge corporate companies as well as MNCs are adopting this new technology, many chances for job seekers are opening. Also, there is no need of any basic requirements for this.

Career opportunities include those in Communication and Media, Manufacturing, Banking etc. Engineering graduates and other IT professionals are getting more opportunities in this area.

What Is Cloud Computing?

The old concept of a computer with its own operating system, programs and hard disks for data storage is almost moving into recycle bin. Just assume computer as an instrument like television or radio that just receives services or signals transmitted by another center. Such a service is called Cloud Computing.

The hardware components are losing its priority and software is gaining more importance in this. Cloud computing is considered as a new revolution and is not a new technology or custom. It is the new method to do business in a revolutionary way.This helps a lot to overcome the challenges faced by today’s internet world.

This service will provide software, database and many other services at particular rates with the aid of a web browser or similar web applications. In India, many companies like Asok Leyland, Bharati Airtel, Infosys etc are already making use of Cloud computing.
