When is a web host not a web web host company? When it's a VAR.

There's nothing fundamentally incorrect with being a VAR (value included reseller) - I've been one many periods in previous times, and will likely be again.

It's just that individuals generally don't know what a web host is - or does - and when it comes to their online company they create some doubtful choices because of it.

For example...

Recently I was talking to with a customer and they requested my viewpoint of a web host system their web style organization had offered them. *STOP RIGHT THERE* There's your first BIG CLUE...

Your web style organization is in the company of developing web websites. Making your website look a certain way. Sometimes the web style organization may have programmers on personnel who can system the website some thing a certain way (and programming a web site is not the same as programming a information resource system,) and sometimes the web style organization has authors on personnel who can create the website study a certain way (and composing your organization information is not the same as composing your main revenue and squeeze webpages...) And don't even get me began about SEO, Online promotion and common ideal online company growth advice!

But I seriously question they have a multi-million money ecologically handled, flame withdrawal permitted, multi-point redundancy, 24-hour supervised, information heart in their back space.

Now THAT'S a web host heart.

Most pretenders err.. most website hosts are really VARs, and here's the rub, these pretenders often cost 100 periods the real cost of web host and provide 1% of the assistance system.

Now before I get lots of upset characters from excellent web host VARs I should say that they are not all like this. I do however carry up this large difference and tell you this story to light up a factor that pushes me nut products.

Just because someone can value up a website doesn't mean you should trust them with websites existence and web host. It certainly doesn't mean you should believe in them with your online promotion, and it especially indicates you shouldn't instantly believe in them with your online product popularity either.

These are all details that need unique abilities - some organizations have the mix, some do not. Do you know which concerns to ask and how to tell a Pretender?

I know the web is still a courageous new community (as of composing, it's just over 14 decades old!) and you'd be pardoned if you still don't quite 'get it' - that's why you need to take care and ask more concerns and work with a appropriate web strategist/consultant who's been around the prevent a few periods.

Remember before concentrating my initiatives as a company web strategist and online promotion professional I was a VP of IT and Consulting and handled multi-million money system growth tasks across most significant major regions for lenders, authorities and significant companies. Handling over 50 individuals, I've individually designed and marketed applications for over 30 decades now, and even developed online techniques that pre-date the Internet (try developing a TV centered super attached TeleText system in the mid Eighties... now that's creative)

Anyhoo... I'm a little off-topic.

The summary of my story was this. I suggested a immediate web host resource (one of the significant gamers in this field) and offered their cost. The consumer dropped informing me that it was "too cheap" and that they would remain with the web style organization *sigh* So I outlined the organization was a VAR and in this example was asking for them nearly 100 periods over cost for 1% of the assistance...
