Web Site Hosting
I want to write a few short articles to teach you how to create a website for your practice yourself. I know not everyone is a DIYer but this is pretty easy to do. There are a few technical aspects to this process so I will try to outline the process as simply as possible. As always you can contact me for some free advice and I am always for hire to set everything up for you. If you want me to do the work for you click here for more information about chiropractic website setup.
Okay let’s talk about websites in general. You defiantly need one. Setting up your website should not be hard or expensive. I like to build sites by paying for reliable hosting and then using easy to use website building software for your site creation. This is not the only way to do this by any means, but the end result is a professional looking website. Let’s get started.
Hosting:
This is a quote from glaserweb.com/glossary.php about hosting…“While web pages are designed and developed on a single computer, they must be transferred to a server, or host, so that they are available to the rest of the world over the Internet. A host is simply a computer that has a constant, high speed connection to the Internet. Hosting companies rent space on these machines. Depending on your needs, a hosting plan can cost anywhere between $10 and $200 per month.†Simply stated a host is were your website lives. You need to rent this space online. This will be your only expense if you follow my method.
I use Blue Host for my hosting services. Here are some of the nice features Blue Host offers.

There is more space that you should ever need. Free domain name for life. You can also have up to 6 websites under the same hosting account. It’s a really great deal. Depending on how long you buy your hosting for your price will change a bit. Normally I would pay for hosting on an annual basis. If you do you will pay $7.95 a month. It’s $6.95 a month if you do the 2 year plan. It’s a really good deal. Dare you to compare!
