I want to start my own internet business, which in order to be successful must have high levels of traffic. I have never had a website before, am I correct in thinking that traffic above a certain level must be paid for extra?How much does this cost, roughly? Also in order to create a proffessional looking website what level of expertise is required, i know there will be some but is there software which can be used to create proffessional sites, perhaps without having to learn html and css in depth?
Help much appreciated, thanks.
What are the costs associated to running a web based business, such as costs for traffic hosting and software?
You should definitely consider 1&1 web hosting. Hosting starts from 拢4.99 a month with free .co.uk domains included. Has free 24/7 telephone & e-mail support - will talk you step-by-step thro' any problems. (I've never had any problems or seen any downtime.) Excellent value considering all the extras included: over 拢400 of free software, site builders, marketing tools, etc. And they constantly win the Best Web Host award each year in many major Internet-related magazines...
Hosting packages come with a bandwidth allowance for traffic. You can start with a lower priced package while you get established, and upgrade when you need more bandwidth. If your site is quite basic with few graphics, a Home package at 1&1 would handle thousands of visitors a month & Business could cope with tens (or hundreds) of thousands. But this depends solely on the content of the site (for example: streaming / downloading video would use much more bandwidth)
