Mini-Sites work great for selling e-books and info-products to a niche market...

But for the person new to making money online, setting up any site - mini or not - can be a daunting task. 

Highly specialized websites with lots of links, scripts and graphics require time and talent, experience or training, and a fair chunk of cash.

Thankfully, that is not the type of website you'll need for your niche market mini-site.

All you need for a mini-site is one page with an 'Order Here' link.

There are usually 2 steps involved in setting up your own niche-market site.

First you register your domain, and then you set up a hosting account. 

I'm really excited about this because I've never seen hosting prices and service that matches this (and I've been online creating websites of all sizes for a number of different clients since 1996).

Here's where starting an online business becomes simplified...

Your domain name is registered to you for when you set up your hosting account. You choose your account size and type, enter the domain name you want to register or use, add your personal details and your account is created.

If you need help you'll find online live support 24 hours a day/7 days per week. A little chat window opens up with knowledgeable staff ready to assist! They'll either walk you through any process you need to understand, do it for you, or explain it until it makes sense to you.

The easy part's over. Now you have your domain name and your hosting account...what's next?

I Don't Know How to Make a Web Page!

If you are, in fact, just starting out with your first website and you don't want to go through the hair pulling experiences of learning how to edit an html document, ftp files to a server, etc. grab the second cheapest account type.

It happens to be called 'shared - baby'.

Build Web Pages or Set Up A Blog...

With the Shared - Baby package you get free access to a Site Builder account that will literally create your website for you. You choose a 'look', enter your text, answer a few questions, select some images off your hard drive if you want, presto - your site is online. The service is free with your $10 hosting account (value $159, so you're getting quite a deal)! You can also skip Site Builder and perform a one-click install to set up a WordPress blog (very popular with people new to website creation due to it's ease of use).

Another nice feature with this level of a hosting account is that you can use the same account to host multiple websites on it - no more fees, same price per month no matter how many websites you build.

I first thought "At these prices there must be something wrong the host!", but I signed up anyway. Don't let that cheap price fool you, these guys know what they're doing and they deliver on their promises.

Not a Newbie to Setting Up Websites?

This host is still my top choice for online business. Why? The 99.9% uptime has a lot to do with it, but I do like hosting accounts with cPanel management - you can set up a blog, shopping cart, bulletin board, chat room, guest book, FAQ page and more with just one click from a cPanel managed account.
