web.success

the 1Life.net website helps you choose the best hosting plan for your website. our editors selected, evaluated and made the top picks of hosting plans. we narrowed it down to a top-100, then top-10, and finally, our favorite among the best. our editor's reviews and choices guide you and help clarify what's most important. websites render more efficient and lower the costs of promoting, delivering information, selling, processing transactions. marketing has never had a lower customer acquisition cost. find out what techniques your competition's using, and use these tools to get more exposure. because there is so much to consider, we have resumed everything that is important to know: design tools, applications, shared or dedicated servers, IPs, and how-to's...

for.you

we scanned the internet for the world's top100 hosting packages, and managed to bring the count down to an elite list of the world's best website hosting plans. if we had limited ourselves to looking at maximum capacity and monthly transfer, simply for the cheapest, lowest price, we would be wasting your time. we analyzed offerings, and went into details on what will help you succeed, from website creation wizards and programs, templates, free downloads, to making your website come to life with scripts, such as for a webstore, gallery, blogs, discussion forums, CRM, e-commerce, order management and processing, wiki, collaborative workgroup productivity and information sharing, forums, etc.

some.numbers

some still think that a website is only for ecommerce. that is a bit myopic, considering that in 2006, 70% of those who own or have access to a computer, searched for products and services on one of the internet's major search engines rather than using traditional print media (such as consulting the phone books ads or other directories). ironically a website costs less than 10% of a yellow-pages ad, and can yield more coverage and far better results if done right: provide more information, find more customers, have unlimited advertising space... provided your site can be found. hence, the importance of search engine submission and website optimization. some packages give you basic tools for that, we send you some resources, and others are offered by specialized firms.

what.to.do

when creating your new website, going it alone with a website creation tool or templates is a good idea - it will save on outsourced development costs, debugging costs, maintenance and updates costs, search engine optimization services, and so on. the savings can be reinvested in marketing, pay-per-click advertising, and other ways to increase revenues and profits. so before you hire, buy and try. and whatever you do, don't wait to register your domain name - last year alone, some 50 million new servers (and more DNs) went online. most hosting plans include free domain name registration - you no longer need to register and then order a hosting plan - do both together, as it is easier than ever. most process orders within 24-48 hours.

where.to.go

so bookmark this site, explore it, and when you are ready, use our links to visit the top webhosting providers. just email us after subscribing, and if we can trace your click, we will send you the additional information and ressources... clicking these links to order gives us pointer credits. and we thank you by going the extra mile to help you succeed: we will send you additional resources - access to thousands of FREE templates, tools to submit and promote your website to search engine and improve it's results placement, optimize your site, design it, links to e-commerce tools, marketing tools, and many other resources. just be careful who you choose... ironically, we've experienced first hand what can happen, when you register a DN and reserve a hosting package... in doing our evaluations, one of the providers we purchased a package from LOST the domain name registration we did through them (and that DN is now again up for grabs), and cannot be reached for support or refund.
