1. Choose your hosting
plan...
...sounds complicated
right? Not really. Think about it this way:
-
If your building a
personal or business website without ecommerce then go
with a Basic hosting plan.
-
If you're planning on
selling anything you'll need a Business plan or above.
-
If you are going to store
lots of images, large files, or rapidly growing
databases you'll need a Corporate plan or better.
-
Housing large mission
critical application and using massive bandwidth?
You need our Enterprise plan.
Now, which platform?
Easy...
-
Going to use ASP,
ColdFusion, Microsoft FrontPage or Access databases on
your site? Go with Windows 2000.
-
Don't even know what all
that stuff is? Then check out Unix.
Still need help?

cart software.

complicated. Your options are:
-

ecommerce easy with 5 software applications designed for
even the most complex ecommerce requirements.
-
Third party software -

we will host almost anything on the market.

3. Design Your Website
This is where we usually
recommend you seek professional help. The look and
feel of your website is just as important to your
visitors as the functionality of your software or the
value of your product line. However, if you feel
yourself up to the challenge, here are your options:
-
Microsoft FrontPage,
Dreamweaver, Namo, HoTMetaL - These all-in-one design
tools have helped new designers and experienced
developers alike deliver professional quality websites,
and they require no programming knowledge.
-
Visual Interdev -
Excellent for the seasoned developer/programmer.
-
Site Studio - Every
HitSites hosting plan comes with access to this
excellent online development tool. Build your
website in minutes by picking a template, uploading your
pictures and entering your text. The system comes
complete with email forms, an extensive image library,
excellent "Splash" page options and more! The
perfect choice for anyone who wants a professional
quality website done TODAY.
4. Launch
Ok, launch...what does
that mean? It means that just because you build
it, doesn't mean they will come. You have to
submit your site to search engines, do some advertising,
and generally get the word out about your site.
Luckily for you, we can
help with the search engine part. Inside the H-Sphere control panel is an area where you can submit your
website to the top 12 search engines all at once and
totally for free!
