    Hey DP Members,

    I am new here and new to the whole Online Business model. I'm looking to make my online business a career but dont really know where to start.

    It seems a little overwhelming at first glance.

    So far I have been looking at Affilate Programs and Adsense websites. I have looked at Clickbank, Commision Junction, and a few other 'in-house' programs.

    Can someone let me know what the top must have items (ebooks, courses, conversion methods, etc...) that I need to look at so i'm not a newb any longer. I am really interested in conversion methods, as I figure that it's not a problem to get someone to your site - but will they buy what you are selling!

    I figured that I would need web hosting, then read a few threads here basically saying it wasnt a requirement to make money online, [:(] So here's what I have right now:

    Webhosting ($3.50/per month):
    Disk Space: 1,500 GB
    Bandwidth: 15 TB
    Unlimited Email Accounts
    Unlimited Forwarders
    Unlimited Auto-Responders
    Unlimited Mailing Lists
    Unlimited Domains
    Unlimited MySQL Databases

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    as long as you can write articles or make conveying luring articles and intros/hooks on your site, people willl buy
    but bare in mind with hosting that dont get overseller's. Your current hosting above will not be reliable if your sites grow or even if you get small traffic.

    thanks for the reply and info.

    However, I'm curious to understand why you think my current host would not be reliable if my site or sites grow or get any traffic other than to click on your links to get 'The Reliable' web host provider.

    I'm new in IM, not new to the Internet or IT. As I have over 12 years of IT experience as it was my career. I dont want to get into a flame fest here.

    Your Hosting link is a PR-0, but thats not important for hosting. Server specs are decent, AMD Athlon X2 5200+ Dual Core CPU, 4GB DDR2-667 RAM, Datacenter in Las Vegas, NV USA.

    The packages IMO are kinda weak, but the smaller company's do have to charge more. The closest package you have is the Reseller 3 @ $80/month but I only get 100GB of disk space and 1TB (1000GB) of bandwidth.

    My current hosting company, PR-6 home page, gets me 1500GB of Disk Space and 15TB (15000GB) of bandwidth per month. Also they have over 20GB/s of bandwidth coming into the building. Windows and Linux based servers. All this for $3.50/month.

    So please let me know how my hosting company is unreliable when it comes to traffic for my site(s) or having my site(s) grow?


    As far as the information on article writing thank you for your feedback. I appreaciate it greatly.

    I am not trying to sell my hosting nor have I mentioned.
    Addiitonally I am only offering proxy specialized hosting as main concern and my advertising in hosting threads to get customers is as frequent as February 29th occurance.

    Many hosting sellers know about this

    1500GB of Disk Space and 15TB (15000GB) of bandwidth
    it is on shared server

    an average low budget dedicated server where you can use ALL the resources:

    500 GB Space = $10 per month
    1500 GB space = $30/month

    6000 GB BW = $100/month
    15,000 GB BW = ~$250/month

    that is GUARANTEED to you with $270/month

    the host you are saying are on 100MBPS line or better and even the shared of that cost lowest $50-$100/month additional to get same speed.
    and if they have also promised its dedciated to you, its $1700/m for a dedicated.

    and not to mention memory ram costs you will be using when you do actually reach that amount 1500GB/15TB per month

    on shared environment, all resources are shared (not dedicated), if your site grow and use resources and CPU, with the current amount ($4/m) they are charging you, it doesnt even cover a dedicated server fee and they will take you out. All such hosting sellers say this to lure customers and you will see many got terminated due to high resource usage.

    If you still think I am trying to flame other hosts offering mega spaces/BW and everything and PR and leangth of hosting will be important,
    check knownhost.com.

    earn something from dp or invest your money to get urself a landing page:
    After that there are two ways to go about affiliate marketing
    1. adwords or ppc marketing(requires money to invest initally)
    2. bum marketing(is mostly free requires you to write and submit articles.)
    Their are other ways also to earn online like blogs or other sites.
    Also if you want any more knowledge or have queries feel free to pm me anytime.I would be glad to assist you.
