Is traditional Website Hosting Obsolete?

Does your website hosting company give you real value

My article today is about Online Marketing and the resources essential to effectiveness

Website Hosting:

As business owners we may not like it but budgets are a reality of life, and for readers who are less controlled by any budgetary considerations... Why waste money it just doesn't make sense too!

Website hosting companies have had a reasonably easy ride certainly the bigger ones. Give people some space on a server and charge X, done and dusted. What could they do, where could they go after all one host is pretty much the same as another right?

The consumer... us was definitely getting a raw deal, then we had to go and get an Auto Responder Service, because they work!  

And as Marketer's we need them to maintain communication with our client base. Clients need to be informed of updates, new offers and promotions, company news etc.  Keeping contact and maintaining a relationship with our customers is integral to successful marketing.

The list of uses for an Auto Responder is endless. So in brief now we have two out goings to maintain our Online Business.

As the Internet evolved and matured more services to distribute information and to advertise on become essential, video is what springs to mind instantly and Internet Marketing techniques. I.M marketing is a book by itself! Yet alone an article, I will just ask this question, is one site or blog enough to achieve and maintain a good search engine ranking in a competitive niche?

For now lets just deal with Online Video. If you use video a lot you know bandwidth is a big issue for video. Website Hosting costs rise! So we have come full circle back to the hosting companies, and the only diversions were Auto Responder Services and Video Hosting. Yet it is all related and all connected in that Online Package we call our blog's and websites.

So now we have three costs for one industry Online Marketing. Lets add two more related costs!

In this age of Attraction Marketing or personality marketing, Video Conference Software, for webvideo conferencing is if, not essential? Certainly recommended. The ability to talk to people in real time using VOIP or voice over internet protocol is a winner in terms of increased sales. Other uses are team communications and training and customer relationship management.

Recording conferences to use the video as content is common and effective as it saves repetition, and is a good source of reference materials for answering F.A.Q.s. All of which are big plus's and very good reasons to want video webconferencing room

The bottom line is it's another cost, which can put it out of peoples reach when first starting out with Online Marketing, or for a struggling business it could be a great asset!  But cost is a barrier.

I said that we would add two costs so the last one is Monitoring your websites uptime software? Or Promotional Webpages? Or perhaps Video production and uploading costs? You choose.

Would a solution that covered all the above points from Website Hosting to Video Conferences and included Auto Responders and all the other bells and whistles that are essential to effective Internet Marketing be of interest to you? If it was a simple one point login and one low monthly payment!

I'm glad to say one company in the website and blog hosting arena has moved into the real world and offers the kind of value and service that every other... Industry has to provide, to survive and thrive. Internet Marketing has changed and now at last hosting has changed with it!  And the trail blazers are Gogvo and their titanium hosting package... The first complete Internet Marketers hosting package!
