Affordable Web Hosting Services for Small Catholic Web Site Development
Introduction
This site and its Catholic network began to be built in 12 May 2002, with
the http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thespiritslove. Since then, the site had
opportunities to avail of three web hosting services. In the use of these
services, this article will share brief web hosting reviews to assist
interested Catholic individuals and families to choose the web host they
prefer when they decide to be part of the universal Catholic mission
of proclaiming the gospel on the Net. Each web hosting service has its
specific features and advantages.
After the first Catholic web site with Yahoo! Web Hosting, in April 2005, the
site created a second Catholic web site to strengthen the Catholic network
at Yahoo! Since Bravenet.com's free web hosting service had already been a
part of this Catholic network, it was natural to decide (like with Yahoo's free
web hosting service, Geocities) and purchase a web hosting package with
Bravenet.com.
With Bravenet.com hosting the second Catholic web site, the network
was able to promote a free Catholic eBook - an eBook which promoted the
web developer methods you now find in this new site. Bravenet.com
helped to harvest a lot of eBook subscribers for our Catholic network.
At the same time, it extended the reach of the Catholic network with Yahoo!
to Bravenet.com's network.
With Bravenet.com's web hosting service, you can manually upload a WordPress
blog software. This move helped obtain knowledge in basic web development.
Compared to Yahoo! Web Hosting (basic), Bravenet.com supports more file extensions
- especially the .exe file extension required for promoting a Catholic eBook
on Catholic web developer methods.
If you are interested in a web hosting service that supports many file extensions
- especially the .exe file extension to promote an eBook - then Bravenet.com is
a very good web hosting service to employ. With one WordPress blog installed,
and a free Catholic eBook to promote your Catholic network, Bravenet.com
can expand the services you want to provide to Catholic individuals and families.
1and1.com Web Hosting Review
In June 2007, the global economy showed already some signs and indicators
that would prefigure what would happen in mid-2008. Because of the sudden
changes on the Web, the site had to change its web hosting services.
One major factor for the new selection was a web hosting service that would
help cutback on operational costs. An ethical SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
Techniques teacher promoted always 1and1.com web hosting service in her SEO
class. Taking her advice, this Catholic network opened its second web site
at 1and1.com web hosting service, under the new domain name
gospel-and-culture.info.
Unlike Yahoo! Web Hosting and Bravenet.com Web Hosting, 1and1.com hosted
the second Catholic web site on a Linux-based server. This gave
opportunities to learn about Active Server Pages (.ASP) - a server-side
scripting language that is supported by a Linux-based server. With ASP,
the Catholic network was able to promote better its free Catholic eBook
on basic and small Catholic web site development. 1and1.com web hosting
service was able to make the second Catholic web site more interactive -
obtaining a wider reach of searchers online.
If you are interested with more interactivity for your Catholic web site,
then 1and1.com can help you with their support of .exe file extensions
for a Catholic eBook, and .asp web pages needed to create interactive
email forms. This favorable combination of .exe and .asp will make it
easy to obtain potential eBook subscribers.
The year 2008 proved to be very challenging year to operate
a small Catholic web site, especially within a global economic environment
that entered into serious crises. The second Catholic web site with 1and1.com
web hosting service had to be closed down. And it became even more challenging
because the first Catholic web site with Yahoo! went down. For the first time,
the loss of two Catholic web sites, meant a loss of two important networks
and contacts online. Fortunately, through social networking at
Facebook.com, the Catholic network found moral support to begin again.
With prices skyrocketing everywhere, a low-cost web hosting service was
much needed. This time, the solution was not in web hosting services based
abroad, but with a local web hosting service: Philhosting.Net. With
Philhosting.Net, the Catholic network was able to rebuild itself again
and start to build a new social network with Facebook.com.
Philhosting.Net is a good web hosting service. When you inquire
by email what file extensions they support (aside from the standard .html file
extension), they will provide you with the basics for a small Catholic
web site: .swf, .psd, .fla, .jpg, .php, and .exe file extensions.
In October 28, 2008, the site was rebuilt at Philhosting.Net with an
initial 100MB file storage Windows-based web hosting service, with
the domain www.c-web-developer.net. In February 2009, the site shifted
to an web hosting service that provided even lower operating costs -
one using a Linux-based web server. This web hosting package is called
Personal Light. The shift to this new web hosting service cut the
operating costs of the web site and gave it the opportunity to expand well
on the Web.
