Progress Report — New Hosting Service

A while ago, some domain names were struck by a phisher. The thieves are using a vulnerability in the settings of of the master hosting service that could be turned off, literally in less than one minute.   When I called to inquire about them blocking the attacks, they suggested I pay twice as much for 1/2 the service I was getting to “protect” the good names of my domains.  WRONG ANSWER!

Last week I found a new service and decided it was time to move.  I really don’t want down time during the winter holiday seasons coming up.  I had planned to have the sites transferred in one weekend, but as Murphy would have it, I finally got the hard part finished last night.  A few days ago, just after hearing the news about an employee at server farm inadvertently removed a server hosting many web businesses without warning,  I decided to pick up a second service to be kept prepped as an active backup in case one server goes down or in case I decide to change services again.

The change also gives me opportunity to offer great secure hosting packages at entry level prices.  My focus until Christmas holidays will be on building 100 websites.  After the holidays, I will make a business plan regarding hosting services.  In the mean-time, if you are interested in reasonably priced hosting starting about $12.00 per year, contact me through the contact form on this site.

I finished going through the IPK package of documents and videos.  For those of you who know the IM jargon, I’ll tell you the basis of what it is without giving away the trade secrets inside.  The methods taught in the videos are about two years old, but mostly very relevant for today.  The foundation is that instead of selling digital info products via affiliate marketing, one sells tangible goods from various sources.  The model used in the training is basically the link wheel and hub using some very good SEO tactics.

I had already learned about 85% or more of what the course teaches, but the course brings it together with a common focus.  This alone was worth what I paid for the membership. Additionally, the new things I learned are really fantastic.  Again, that alone is worth the current price of the course, which is still $37.00.

What I am working on now is a slight variation from the IPK system.  The primary difference is that I will be taking steps to protect my sites from being ‘slapped into oblivion’ by Google, as one victim put it.  I spent one full day researching the ‘Google Slap,’ something I have been reading about since I first started into IM years ago and found a list of requirements Google is looking for in sites for high rank.  Now that I am armed with the information about what makes Google happy, I can build my sites accordingly.

Well, it is time to get back to work.

Until next time,
Buck
