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:

  1. 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.
     
  2. 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.   
     
  3. 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.

  1. If you register your domain name through Acumen Web Services, then your DNS information will be set automatically. 
     
  2. 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. 
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. 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.
     
  5. 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.
