Small Business on the Web

CarpetGuy 150x150 Small Business on the WebIf you own a small business, you know just how busy you are, and unless you have ever run a business, I mean a “brick and mortar”  or “offline” business, it is impossible to understand, just how much work you have to do. With all of the everyday issues that a small business owner must deal with, taking the time to design, create, or even manage and maintain a website, is just not a top priority, that is just time that could be used for running the business.

Hi, I’m David, aka, CarpetGuy, and I have created BustinLooseHosting.com to solve that problem for you, and depending on your type of business, can significantly increase your sales, without increasing your sales-force, inventory, floor-space, or anything else, look at it like a New Location for your business, that only costs pennies per day. Depending on your business, and your needs, we have a plan for you, that can cost as little as $10.99 per month!

I know, you have seen hosting that is much cheaper, claims “unlimited” everything, and so on, but, how much space, bandwidth and so on, do you actually need? Let me put it this way, this site, with all of the billing and support scripts, not to mention a second domain, that will be revealed later, could fit into the space allocated for the Business Starter Plan!

I have each Plan set-up according to what the business may need, as far as management and maintenance, that is the over-riding service that we are offering to you, not just hosting. Of course we also offer theme customization, after all, you want your site to stand out and not just be a rubber-stamp copy, it should be an online representation of your offline business, it should be unique. If you have already found a website designer, that is ok, BustinLooseHosting.com is here to host and take care of the hassles, feel free to hire any designer that you want, in fact, if you know a good one, let me know, I’ll add them to the list of WordPress theme designers.

Back to the point, If you have an “offline” business, and you want to get it “online”, but don’t want to deal with the hassles, BustinLooseHosting.com is for you!

View your site the way it is supposed to be seen, use Firefox!

120x240 green View your site the way it is supposed to be seen, use Firefox!Many people are still using Internet Explorer for their web browser, after all, it comes installed on your computer, and that is not a bad thing, if it is a current version, but an old IE6 or something is, and if you are using an old version, click this link to go there and upgrade, if you are sure that you want to use Internet Explorer, but, if you want to view the web the way it was intended to be seen, then make sure that you download Mozilla Firefox here, or by clicking the image to the left, yes, it will automatically add all of your BookMarks or Favorites or whatever IE calls it, if you tell it to, or you can start fresh and add new ones, it is up to you.

The whole point to this is simple, there are many things web designers do, that you cannot even see if you are using an old outdated browser, so, we suggest using Firefox

Who is BustinLooseMedia and why is that on my invoice?

Just to keep everything in the open and to eliminate confusion, this needs to be better clarified. BustinLooseMedia.com is the parent company, the one that collects payments and pays our bills, this keeps the books simple. The theme customization is done by WildWebDesigner.com, another division of BustinLooseMedia.com, but payments for that are also done through the same billing department here, this is so that you have only one place to go to take care of all of your website, domain and hosting needs. Don’t let that confuse you, yes, we do domain name registrations, and you may transfer it to us, but, if you have purchased your domain name elsewhere, you may keep it there if you are happy with them, just point your nameservers to us, and your site will be online, and remember, if you currently have a site hosted elsewhere, and we build you a new one here, from the time you change the nameservers, it can take some time for the change to propagate throughout the internet, sometimes it only takes a couple of hours, sometimes it takes longer, so just be patient when you do this, and you will find more details in the knowledge base.

Other than that, we try to keep everything as simple as possible, that is what we are all about, we remove the hassles and take care of it for you. Once you have registered, selected a domain name, hosting plan, and theme customization options, we will register your new domain and get your site up and running as fast as possible. We will of course need your input as to what you want your site to look like, but once we are finished, all you have to do is add content! Just like this article, it is as simple as sending an email.

Confused, Wondering what to do next? How long will it take?

confused blh thumbnail Confused, Wondering what to do next? How long will it take?The way things are done here, are definitely different from most any other Web hosting site, it is not that we are slow, it is not complicated, but we are thorough, we want to first make sure that BustinLooseHosting.com is the right choice for you and that we can deliver what you want and need, we ARE NOT just trying to sell you space on a server, we are here to offer a complete service package, including set-up, and design of your website, email addresses, and many other needed tools.

First things first, contact us before you do anything! We need to ask you some questions to make sure that we are the right choice for you. Questions like, have you registered a Domain name? If not, that is ok, if you have, is there an existing site? What are your goals? Are you familiar with WordPress? How much traffic do you expect? Do you have an existing “Brick and Mortar” business?

These things are important and we need to ask them to make sure we cover all of your needs and that WordPress will actually work for you, as you can see, BustinLooseHosting.com is a WordPress site, but other scripts are used for the billing etc.

As of now, there is but one website designer, me, David. CarpetGuy is my nickname, and building websites using WordPress and customizing themes for it is my passion. You can see some of my work, and many of the theme demos that I use at WildWebDesigner.com. You will also see a page with various rates and such there, but much of that website will be changing, so as always, contact me before you do anything. If you need to check availability of a Domain Name, use the form below, but don’t do anything else until you contact me.

Domain:

If you are a WordPress theme developer/designer, or know one that you trust, and you like their work, that is ok too, and is the reason that BustinLooseHosting.com has been established, and I welcome your input on this. If you still have questions, contact me and I will be glad to help you.

Questions? Why WordPress? Why BustinLooseHosting?

questions blh thumbnail Questions? Why WordPress? Why BustinLooseHosting?Today’s Technology has come a long way, why not use it to your advantage? WordPress has become one of the most popular CMS (Content Management System) programs out there because of not only it’s flexibility, and capacity, but also, the simplicity for the site owner.

If you can send an email, you can write a post or page of content, and that content is what the search engines like Google are hunting for! When your site has a lot of high quality content, on topics that your customers are searching for, your site will work it’s way to the top and your site will bring you more business, and we all need more business!

BustinLooseHosting.com is not just a Webhost, we should be your Webhost, your friend in the business, your personal, one-on-one consultant, designer, and webmaster, that will keep your ever evolving WordPress site up-to-date, and be there when you have a question, or just need someone to talk to about your site, how to set-up email, or just about anything.

Due to our commitment and dedication to our clients, we will never be one of the “Big Guys”, nor would we want to be, it is that personal attention that we offer that turns our clients into friends, and therefore, we are selective, and will only take on new clients until adding more will get in the way of our service to others, so, if you are serious about your business, give WordPress, and us, a shot, we won’t let you down!
