Site Build It - The Holistic Approach to Creating Your Own Website

After a couple of years using Besthost, I recently created a new site with the Site Build It Web Hosting service.

Site Build It is suitable for both the novice and the expert.

It is largely for web publishers who are in it for the long haul and who are prepared to invest a lot of time in long term planning for the creation and evolution of their website.

This webhosting service does more than host your website. It also provides a great deal of support and teaching through their Action Guide and Video tutorials. You can take a videotour here to see an example of their approach.

The user forums are also really positive and constructive and there is an unprecedented amount of free information available to download to assist you with marketing your service or creating a business from scratch.

For people who are looking to launch a business or a service rather than a hobby website, Site Build It is highly recommended as it lays emphasis on assisting you to create a profitable online business rather than just hosting your website. Their support materials teach you how to build organic traffic (repeated visitors to your website) rather than relying solely on paid advertising.

It is not the best service for those who want to build their website in a hurry or for those who don't really enjoy writing. But once you do get going, it is relatively simple to build your site using their site builder with a template that you can customise.

Alternatively if you have a flair for web design, a knowledge of HTML and harbour a dread of templates, you can create and upload your own webpages.

SBI! is one of the giants in the world of Web Hosting Services. They submit your webpages to the search engines, analyse each webpage you create for optimisation, keep you up-to-date with all the latest developments in online marketing and ping your blog for you too. In fact, SBI does everything apart from your ironing. And they are probably working on that too.

SBI! costs 299 dollars per year which includes their web hosting service, registration of the name of your website, webmail service, blog, unlimited web pages, online support and other services. It is more expensive than the other web hosting services that I've written about but for UK customers, in particular, it is an excellent deal.
