A dream of becoming an online entrepreneur

In world of computers and virtual networking everything happens in Internet. Most of the business nowadays happens via Internet. It was during my engineering graduation when I became more crazy about blogging and websites. I had few bunch of friends who were sharing the common interests. One fine day I thought of making a blog on mobile phone reviews and some technology tips. I started this in Blogger. 

After few days I purchased a domain for this blog and was concentrating more on posting contents to website. I was trying many search engine optimization techniques to make this blog come up in the first page of Google results. For this I had to post many contents to the website each day, so that the website is up to date. I use to check Alexa and Google page rank of the website daily. The website was having pretty good number of visitors, Later I planned to monetize the blog, so I applied for Google Adsense.



Initially for my website, the Google Adsense rejected the application, since the blog was less than 4 months old. So after a month, I applied again and Google Adsense approved my application. That was one of the happiest day of my life. Within two days Google Ads started displaying in my website. Everything was fine and the blog was improving. But that was the time when my Semester exams began. So, I was concentrating more on exams and was not able to manage the website. This was the time the domain was about to expire. But I was not aware of it and one day during exams the domain got expired and it wasn't mine anymore, due to non-renewal of domain. I realized this while I was enjoying my vacation. After that I lost interest in Blogging. Now it is a comeback, where I have started a blog a bit more professionally and seriously. Thanks to Rita Boro, who is my Communication teacher who brought this in academics. Now, here I am, writing this, after completing my fourth post. I will be back soon with new and more interesting topics regarding hosting soon. So, with this I would like to tell you that "time and tide wait for none".

 Web Hosting is the process of allocating a storage space for different websites, so that you can see your website in the Internet or World Wide Web.

There are basically 3 different types of website hosting platforms.  They are Shared hosting, VPS hosting and Dedicated hosting.  Shared Hosting Shared hosting is a hosting platform where multiple websites of different customers are stored in a single Shared server.

Five mistakes to avoid while purchasing a Internet hosting service

1. Choosing a costlier hosting  There are many people who purchase the costly web hosting services, because they think that it would best suit their website. But if you are a beginner, then it would be better to go with a smaller or cheaper hosting initially and later upgrade to premium hosting plans. By this, you will not only save large amount of money, but also learn how to optimize your website in the best way possible. If your website has less number of visitors and does not have large databases to process, then it is a waste to invest lot of money in premium hosting. 2. Choosing a cheaper/free hosting Yes, when you choose a hosting for a eCommerce website or a website with large number of visitors, then use a better hosting plan.
