Tools We Use For Online Business

These are the tools and services we use in our online business:

This means we use them, like them and therefore recommend them to you (we don’t recommend anything we don’t use ourselves)

First Things First

Once you’ve decided on a domain name you need to register it, we recommend the following domain registrars:

For .com domains Namecheap
For .co.uk domains 123reg.co.uk

Now you need hosting for that domain, think of your domain name as your address online, think of your hosting account as your house, where all your content resides.

Please note: not all webhosts are reliable and we would not recommend hosting your domain with your domain registrar – too many eggs in one basket!

Our number one choice is Hostgator. We have used them for over 5 years and they have never let us down and have great online and email support too. At $4.95 per month for hosting a single domain they represent great value too.

Building Websites

We recommend WordPress blogs as they have fabulous SEO features already built in and are easy to install directly from the control panel of your web hosting account.

Building A List of Subscribers

Aweber – we have used for three years and they manage all of our newsletters, ecourses, and ezines. In fact all of our emails come through this safe list managing service
