My Problem
A little while ago I got a message from my website hosting service saying that my shared hosting website was using too much server resources and I had to upgrade to a more expensive package.
As the website I had developed were like a hobby for me, I wasn't seeing a lot of traffic and certainly wasn't earning any money from them. So, they suspended my account.
This meant; no emails and no more time spent developing my interest. What to do?
Had to come up with a plan!
My response
I let go of my hobby and decided I had better things to with my time! A couple of months later, my laptop's motherboard shorted out and would no longer 'boot up'.
Walk away!
The solution to my problem
After 3 months, I decided to buy another laptop. ($250 from a refurbishment service)
Bought a SATA docking station so I could retrieve some of my data. ($30 from a good supplier)
Started searching through 'Dr. Google' for a new hosting provider. Found a few promising candidates and then did a search for 'Free Hosting' (because I didn't have a lot of money to spend) and saw a site for 'Free Hosting Resellers'. Modified my search and came up with 3 promising candidates.
The one I chose was 'Reseller Panel'.
What they offer:
- Free server setup
- Free rights to sell their products branded as mine
- Competitive hosting rates similar to the major players
- Free Domain Manager (one click registration)
- Domain registration service
- Scalable hosting packages
- Shared hosting
- Cloud hosting
- Semi-dedicated servers
- Dedicated servers
- SSL Certificates at competitive prices
- One click 'Website Installer'
- Email Manager
- Hepsia Control Panel (so simple to use)
- Affiliate Program
- Marketing tools
- Great Support (longest I've waited for a response to my many questions was 20min)
Then came the difficult bit!
Choosing a new domain name to host this service. One click search with a range of alternatives and options I could proceed with.
I changed the 'Nameservers' on my original site and I was back in operation within an hour.
A couple of hours setting up the 'Wordpress' template (hosted on my new domain) and this was the result. mydragonweb.com
Total cost was $75 AUD for the domain registration (which I own) and 12 months hosting. Not a bad investment to start a new business.
I'll keep you posted on how it goes!
