HOW TO LAUNCH A DIGITAL PRODUCT BUSINESS<br />
In terms of hosting, you need <strong>to</strong> choose a provider and a type of account.<br />
Hosting packages vary in a number of ways which affects the number of<br />
visi<strong>to</strong>rs you can have on your site at once, <strong>how</strong> backed up your files are<br />
and <strong>how</strong> many files you can s<strong>to</strong>re without running out of space. Different<br />
companies also come with different reputations with regards <strong>to</strong> their<br />
reliability, cus<strong>to</strong>mer service and other fac<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />
One of the best known hosting providers out there is Bluehost<br />
(www.bluehost.com).<br />
Bluehost host some of the biggest sites on the web as well as lots of<br />
smaller sites for start-ups and entrepreneurs. They have a very helpful<br />
control panel (Cpanel) which makes it easy <strong>to</strong> moni<strong>to</strong>r your files, set up<br />
email accounts and install WordPress etc. Their cus<strong>to</strong>mer service is also<br />
good and they have a number of different packages <strong>to</strong> suit every budget.<br />
To start with, you likely won't be generating hundreds of thousands of<br />
visi<strong>to</strong>rs so any basic package offered by Bluehost will do. In the future you<br />
might want <strong>to</strong> consider moving <strong>to</strong> a dedicated server or a cloud hosting<br />
package, but only if you start noticing slow down etc.<br />
