GETTING
STARTED WITH YOUR EASY
WEB
Getting
started with YOUR EASY WEB is easy, fast and even fun.
Before you begin, here
is the information you want to know up front:
- What you have to do
- What we have to do
- How much it will
cost
What you have to
do:
Your responsibilities
up front in the YOUR EASY WEB process are minimal. You'll need
to:
- Register a domain
name
You want your domain name registered in YOUR name, not ours.
After all, it's YOUR web presence. We're just helping you
get it up and running.
- Subscribe to YOUR
EASY WEB.
When you subscribe to YOUR EASY WEB, your paypal account (or credit card) will be charged according to the plan you choose.
Then, each month your account will be charged either a $35 hosting fee for your Cyber Angel Hosting.
Included your YOUR EASY WEB hosting fee is our "cyber angel"
service which means we'll keep up on and install any software
updates needed to keep your website running smoothly. These updates are often
crucial to keeping your web presence safe from cyber space
pirates and hackers.
You
are free to move your domain name (that's why we put it in YOUR
name) and YOUR EASY WEB site to another hosting provider at any
time, however the "cyber angel" service is ONLY available
through Acumen Web Services.
- Choose a template.
One of the keys to keeping YOUR EASY WEB affordable is through
the use of pre-made templates. Don't panic, we can
customize your template with images so even though your YOUR
EASY WEB is based on a template, the site itself will be
distinctly yours.
What we will do:
Take care of everything
behind the scenes.
- If you register
your domain name through Acumen Web Services, then your DNS
information will be set automatically.
- We'll take care of
your web site hosting needs.
The world of web site hosting is treacherous to say the least.
Unfortunately, it's difficult to distinguish the good from the
bad without personally using the service. Even if you
personally use the hosting service, unless you are a web expert,
you may not be able to discern the warning signs of a potential
hosting nightmare.
More bad news: Just because a hosting provider is good today
doesn't mean they'll be good next year. As businesses
grow, they change; sometimes for the better, sometimes for the
worse. In the world of hosting, rapid growth rarely means
the ability to deliver better service or stability.
On the contrary.
With this in mind, you should know that Acumen Web Services is a
web hosting reseller. While in some cases, this is a bad
thing, here at Acumen Web Services it's actually a good thing.
Each year, Kathy personally uses her own domain names to "scout"
hosting providers. While she has two services she
currently uses, she's been doing the web thing for long enough to know that
she had better have another hosting provider waiting in the
wings for when one of the two preferred companies begins to
falter.
So when you purchase your web hosting through Acumen Web
Services, you're signing up to ride the coat tails of Kathy's
personal hosting scouting expedition. In 2006, Kathy
tested over a DOZEN hosting companies and not ONE made it to her
"backup" list.
Are you willing to make that kind of
investment in your choice of hosting provider? If you're
considering embarking on that adventure, let me assure you that
it's not for the faint of heart. It probably
doesn't make sense unless you're choosing web hosting for over 100 accounts.
So if you want truly worry-free web hosting, you're in the right
place.
- We'll take care of
the software installation.
Once your domain name is resolving to your Acumen Web Services
hosting account, we'll take care of installing the blogging
software for you. We'll also take care of setting up 4
different pop-3 email accounts and we'll also set up 4 different
email forwards.
- We'll take care of
applying your template to your blog.
We'll not only install your chosen template, but we'll also make
minor
changes to your blog template such as adding your logo or photo
if you wish..
Free changes are limited to adding logo and photo or swapping out
images.... for more in depth customization, there is a $135 per hour
charge.
- We'll provide step
by step tutorials on how to use your new YOUR EASY WEB web
presence.
Kathy's clients have shared with her that they prefer PDF
tutorials that they can print out and refer to as they navigate
through the system. They said they preferred the printed
tutorials to the video, audio and even html based ones. So
your YOUR EASY WEB tutorials are all offered in PDF format.
