1. "Unlimited Storage and Data - Really?" by Dale Reardon
==========================================================

You've probably heard the old saying "If it sounds too good
to be true, it probably is". This often applies to Web
Hosting, especially with regard to companies that offer
"unlimited" disk space or data transfer.

The truth is that both data transfer and disk storage space
cost money and a truthful host will impose some monthly
limit and inform you of this in advance.

The Hosting companies that claim to offer unlimited storage
or transfer rely on the fact that, in reality, the majority
of customers do not use very much of either. However as a
user of this "unlimited" service, if you wish to have a
serious and professional on line business you may well offer
free downloads of electronic books or free software trials
for example. If your business proves to be a success and is
popular then undoubtedly your host will contact you to
discuss their "unlimited" policy.

A host simply cannot afford to stay in business if they
truly let you have unlimited transfer or storage. If all
their customers were to use large amounts of data transfer
then they would need to dramatically upgrade their bandwidth
capacity to allow access to all the hosted sites at one
time. Hosting is a matter of meeting the peak demands - in
the same way as your local electricity provider must allow
for supply of electricity on the coldest days when heating
is most in demand, your host needs a system to allow them
to provide your data to the world wide web when all their
customers are utilizing their "unlimited" capacity.

On way to avoid some of these problems is to avoid hosts
that host sites that place large burdens on bandwidth. In
particular, I recommend you choose a host that does not
allow MP3 files or adult sites as both these types of sites
place very large burdens on bandwidth and will effect the
performance of your site. Essentially don't let your site
suffer as a result of other sites hosted by your hosting
provider.

In addition to this problem, unscrupulous hosts will sell
too many accounts for their actual server storage limits.
They cannot possibly cope if everyone tries to store
unlimited data on the disk. We all know there is no such
thing as an unlimited hard drive so please don't believe
those hosts when they try to tell you otherwise.

A reasonable data transfer limit from a good host is 3
gigabytes of data per month, this is more than ample for
most sites. If the host offers more than this for free,
check out their bandwidth provisions to ensure they can
actually meet their promises.

So remember if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
If you see a host that claims "unlimited" storage and data
transfer, make sure you find out the truth in the fine
print.

LocalHost offers 3 gigabytes of data transfer per month and
has a huge bandwidth capacity of 655 Mg which will easily
satisfy all our clients.

Virtualis W E B R E F U G E E Promotion
F R E E H O S T I N G T H R U F E B R U A R Y

Virtualis, the premier web hosting company (and the
Editor's personal choice) is offering free hosting
for the remainder of January and for the month of
February for those clients who are transferring
their accounts from another hosting company.

AndersonCreations.com has been hosting with Virtualis
for almost a year and we have never had our web site
"go down." The customer service compares to none -
only an email away - 24 hours 7 days a week. Now
who can compare to that?

Virtualis.com will transfer your files from your
former hosting company to Virtualis.com when you
sign up with Virtualis within the month of January.

To find out more information and/or to sign up for
your free hosting, go to...
http://www.virtualis.com/vr/danderso
and mention "Refugee Promotion - Anderson Creations"
when asked how you heard about Virtualis. This is
the way that you can claim your free hosting.


==========================================================
4. Tip(s) - Add Flexibility
==========================================================

The most effective marketing in the 90s has been offering
flexibility. The business that can give customers some
choice often gets the most business.

Take the computer industry's trend of offering customers a
way to build their own computers. This has become so
popular with consumers that even chain computer retailers
have an area where you can buy a computer made-to-order.

Try offering several different versions of your product or
service. This helps customers feel you're offering them
choice. You might also make customers understand that
you will alter the way you do the project, customizing it to
their needs.

Many times offering different versions of a product or
service lets you sell to all the people who used to think it
wasn't quite right for them. Offering a bit of choice lets
them feel they can have it customized to be what they need.
Your sales can take a sudden leap when your flexibility
allows you to address their needs.
