If you are using a FREE email system either from your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or a search engine like Google, Yahoo or MSN, you’ve got to stop using them!

The first part of your email is the name that represents you and the second part should represent your business not your ISP or any other email provider.  This is another way of advertising for them, so why don’t you use that to your advantage and advertise your own business instead.

Most likely you would imagine that is an expensive option while firstly that is not true and secondly your email will get your brand out and become an advertising tool for your business.

Another down fall is if you want to change ISP due to a better offer from another ISP, you are in a way locked up as all your clients don’t know your new email address and this process can happen over and over while getting your own email system is very cheap and more sensible method.

As I mentioned above each email consist of two major parts, first your name, then your business name, to get yourname@yourbusiness.com you need a registered website and you don’t even need a hosting or functioning website, although is highly recommended to have a web site even a one page website.

Website become an essential of any business, I can not think of any business that doesn’t need a website. Regardless of what industry you are in or what sort of services or products you offer, if you need a business card then you certainly need a website.

A website can be as simple as your business card to allow your client find you online to email, fax or call you!

We all know about good old yellow pages, still they deliver them, but they saw the need and they setup their site for people to access them much easier and quicker.

However there are 3 things you need to understand before you do anything about your site.

Firstly, you need to register a website name! simple names that does not need an explanation is a start! Like our site, our brand is onyxtel but this is a business central for all your business needs, so why not choose mybusinesscentral.com

Our business or brand as I mention is onyxtel so we have use it as our mother site www.onyxtel.com then we also register www.onyxtel.com.au as we are located in Australia so we made sure we use .com.au to identify ourselves to local community too.

I highly suggest that you buy your domain name under your business name or brand to establish your presence online and also buy a second domain as an alias domain if your business name does not explain your business functionality.

To Register a Domain Name we suggest following domain registrations:

Australian Domain Registration is an Australian Own business that provides all it services online internationally.

Go Daddy is an International business providing same services online.

Second

After registering your domain name, you have two choices:

1. Get an email hosting package and not to worry about hosting your website, design or developing it.
2. Get a web site hosting package. In simple words, if we assume your website is a poster, then you need to hire an stand to put it up to advertise your business.

So hosting is your stand or billboard.

Now its very important that your choose the right hosting company. There are always much cheaper hosting available in EBay or you can find them online. The problem is for such a cheap price they offer a cheap service too, usually are those hosting are on some ones computer at their house and they just want to make some money.

So you need a secure, reliable domain for money you pay and unfortunately they can not offer you any!

We suggest following companies

Australian Domain Registration is an Australian Own business that provides all it services online internationally.

Go Daddy is an International business providing same services online.

Third

After your registration and hosting, you need to design your site and content.

As I used the example before, Your website, your poster, what you like to look like (web design) what do you like to tell and advertise your business is your content.

There are many ways of designing and developing your site:

1. Get a templates package offered by most registration and hosting companies.
2. Use Wordpress to design your site for FREE
3. Get a professional web designer to do this task for you. You can do this in two different ways:
   1. You can either go to your local web designing companies, which it can be expensive.
   2. Simply outsource it and get someone overseas to do it for you in less than a week for almost 10^th of what would cost you locally.

I know when we talk about outsourcing, almost everyone thinks about Indians and how hard it is to communicate with them and how to trust them. Well the good news is again we have a solution for that too.

We suggest that you use following company. Their website allows you to hire, pay, manage and monitor your employee work as they were working at your office.

You can hire these people from all over the world, Our experience has shown us that people from Philippine they speak English very well and they are more reliable than any other nation and very honest people.

You can read review of last employers to see how good they are and how well they perform, you can read their resume online and also you can interview them before you hire them like you would in your normal business by this difference that their reference are more accurate than anyone you would hire locally.

For web design or web development projects we suggest that you make an agreement on FIX price instead of hourly rate, therefore if they are not quick enough and for any reason it is taking them longer than you have expected then it doesn’t cost you more.

Another advantage of using this service is, you can monitor all their work and manage your team and pay them securely and if you have any dispute on hours or work they have done, you can always talk to helpdesk and get assistance.

We have been using them for months and it has been the best investment for our business.

Before you start hiring, make sure you have done your website registration and hosting so you have all relevant information to give your employee.
