You may have stumbled across SiteSell somewhere on the internet. Maybe you were looking for affiliate marketing programs. Maybe you were looking for a work at home job. Then you saw that they charged $300 for one website and you thought that they were crazy. Why do they charge $300 when you can get free web hosting somewhere else?
Let’s compare what you get from SiteSell and what you get from another web host.
First let’s look at free web hosting. Most free web hosts place ads on your sites. If someone clicks on that ad, they get the revenue. You can’t control what ads go on your site and it can look very unprofessional. This is fine for personal use, but not to run a business.
Then is a low-priced web host a better choice? Absolutely. If all you want to do is make some pocket change or have a cute blog out there for your friends and family to visit, then finding a low-priced web host is the key for you. Many good choices are GoDaddy, BluHost and Yahoo.
However, if you wanted to start an online business that requires a lot of tools, a lot of traffic and comes with a great support network, the $300 for SiteSell will be a bargin. Most SiteSell clients have little or no working knowledge of how to build a website and yet they can put up a SEO optimized website complete with RSS feeds, autoresponders, and even on online store without needing to hire a website design company or programmer. They also have access to keyword tools, forums, an complete business guide and more.
The conclusion? If you want a little hobby, pick the cheapest web host you can find. If you mean business, SiteSell might be the wiser choice for you.
