Search Engine Optimization – SEO



website designers in langley bc

We look at your competition’s angle in the major search engines, related keyword popularity, web trends, technical items on your website that effect search engine optimization such as META tags and content structure, and more.

A common mistake regarding keyword usage is to try and compete for too broad a search term. It is important to narrow the focus in order to compete more effectively. It helps to know your target audience and to try and match what they are searching for.

Start with a broad term that represents what you offer and then add qualifiers to the keyword to better reach your target audience.

Your business might be selling coffee in California, but there may be a more specialized market just waiting to be capitalized upon. The keyword phrase “fair trade coffee in Fresno” for example may be just the ticket to cornering a niche market.

“I have had my website, www.amfurniturefinishing.com done by Coast Internet Publishing about a year ago. Mark is very professional and he knows how to create a site that really works for your business. He got my site ranked #1 in quite a few search engines using ‘furniture finishing Surrey B.C. and Langley B.C.’. I definitely will recommend him to any one interested in a website.”

WordPress Cloud Hosting

May 6, 2013/in Featured, Website Design, Website Hosting /by BACKUP

Let me start by discussing WordPress: Most everyone is familiar with this popular blogging/CMS platform. After all, it is one the most widely-used platforms in the world for website building and blogging. The reason WordPress is so popular is because it offers complete customization and gives full control to the user.

With WordPress, you can easily customize and code pages as you need to: you can add new blog posts, approve or remove comments and install a lot of plugins. Whether you are a web developer or a total beginner, getting started with WordPress is extremely easy.

What’s So Awesome About Cloud Hosting?

“Cloud hosting” is the new, hottest trend (and a very popular marketing buzzword) in the hosting industry. The reason for it being such a trend is because cloud hosting has major benefits over the regular shared server, virtual private server (VPS) and dedicated hosting server.

“In the cloud” means that a website is not hosted on just one server but spread across multiple servers, which act as one system. So instead of relying on just one machine for resources (such as RAM, disk space, bandwidth, etc.), in cloud hosting, you can pull resources from multiple servers—empowering you to scale your website as you need to.

The major benefit of cloud hosting is that it enables you to add and remove resources when needed, and you can pay as you go.

wordpress in the cloud

WordPress + Cloud

WordPress cloud hosting means that your WordPress website is scalable, with all the benefits of cloud hosting. The important thing here is to realize why WordPress hosted on the cloud is better than a WordPress site hosted on a dedicated server or a shared hosting plan. So, let’s look at some of the features WordPress cloud hosting offers:

WordPress Optimized Server:

All the cloud servers are fully optimized to run WordPress successfully. Moreover, your hosting company has a technical team that is familiar with WordPress, so they can handle any server-related issue. Each cloud server is thoroughly tested by running different versions of WordPress and fixing any issue that could arise.

Managed Hosting with WordPress Experts:

WordPress cloud hosting solutions are fully managed by system administrators, database admins and technicians. WordPress related issues are solved by a team of WordPress experts; these experts have various tricks up their sleeves to successfully run a WordPress site on a cloud server.

The team of experienced WordPress experts takes care of automatic WordPress updates, plugin updates, speed optimization backups, server monitoring, maintenance, etc., so you can sleep sound knowing your website is in good hands.

Scalability:

Cloud hosting for WordPress offers the capability to scale the server resources (RAM, disk space, CPU cores, bandwidth) as per the website requirements. So, if suddenly your website or blog sees a spike in traffic that your server can’t handle, you can easily add more resources to it. This comes in handy during peek business seasons because you can add resources to handle your site’s increase in traffic—and then scale down again as traffic declines.

Reliability:

Every server crashes at least once, which will cause your website to go down. However, with the cloud that’s not the case as your WordPress website is hosted on multiple servers: If one server crashes, the other one kicks-in, ready to keep your website up at all times. Cloud hosting greatly increases reliability by reducing server downtime.

Security:

WordPress (being an extremely popular CMS application) is also one that is attacked most by hackers. Secure WordPress cloud hosting is offered with:

[list style=”list1″ color=”blue”]
  • Redundant Firewalls
  • DDoS Protection
  • Custom Firewall Rules
  • Automatic Core/Plugin Updates
  • Malware Scanning
  • Admin Access Controls
  • And much more
[/list]

CDN (Content Delivery Network):

A CDN is used for fast and efficient delivery of content over websites. Users today lack patience, and they need content to be delivered to them fast. A CDN can help achieve this.

With a CDN, a website is replicated over multiple different locations, like throughout Asia and Europe. So if somebody from Japan accesses your website, a CDN server from Asia will deliver that request, and if somebody from Spain wants to look at your site, the server for Europe will serve that user.

Conclusion

WordPress cloud hosting is the best, most cost-effective way to host a website. Cloud hosting is a trend that’s here to stay because of the many benefits that it has to offer. If you have a WordPress site and are in the market for an ideal hosting solution, then hosting WordPress on the cloud should be your choice.

Plan for the Growth of Your Website with VPS Hosting

November 7, 2012/in Featured, Website Hosting /by BACKUP

As you compare the wide variety of web hosting services available, you will probably look for the most competitively priced solution that can support your existing website. If you can cope with the bandwidth and disk space limitations of a shared hosting plan, for example, you pay less for hosting services, without compromising performance.

But what if your website changes over the next month or over the next year? If you create an interesting website people love to visit, your traffic will grow. When that happens, make sure you are prepared with the hosting services you need.

Virtual private servers (VPS hosting) are available at a price close to that of a shared hosting plan. For a few more dollars per month, you can be confident that your hosting service can handle your traffic today, and also as it increases.

What type of web hosting does your website need today?

Even outside of business, we all prioritize our most immediate needs. The future is uncertain and can sometimes be intimidating, but our current problems seem much more intense. As a result, many webmasters choose web hosting services with only their immediate needs in mind.

The reality is that an online business changes quickly. If you are launching a new sales channel for your existing organization, or even starting a brand new business online, it is possible for your website to get very popular, very fast.

Of course, you should always start with what your website needs today. But even if your website does not attract large volumes of traffic or use lots of bandwidth, VPS hosting could still be the best choice for your current needs.

VPS web hosting uses a process known as virtualization to give each user their own fully isolated compartment of a hardware server, with its own operating system. For companies that need to meet data compliance regulations,VPS hosting is the most affordable way to implement robust and reliable security. A virtual server is also a great way to ensure that any sensitive or confidential data on your hosting account is suitably protected against theft.

For security you can depend on, choose VPS web hosting. Then, as you begin to attract more visitors to your website, you will also be ready to give them the most responsive service, all of the time.

VPS hosting can support a growing website with high traffic

When somebody connects to your website, the hardware that powers your hosting service needs to complete a range of different tasks. Every task requires a combination of different system resources, such as CPU, RAM, and disk space. The more visitors you have at any given moment, the more of these resources you will need to use. If you run complex web applications that include a lot of server-side processing, you need more resources still.

If you do not have the resources you need, the performance of your website will suffer. Suddenly, exploring your products slows to a crawl, with pages taking a long time to load or – worse – timing out and not loading at all.

The theory of affordable shared hosting is that you can access an entire hardware server’s resources if they are required by your account. However, this would only be possible if there were no other websites on the same server. In practice, your neighbors could be using large amounts of hardware power, leaving your visitors to suffer the consequences of underpowered hosting.

With a VPS hosting plan, you are allocated a fixed amount of hardware power for your account. The RAM and CPUincluded in your package is exclusively yours, always available to give your visitors the experience they demand. In many ways, VPS web hosting offers the consistent performance of a dedicated server, but in a more affordable shared environment.

Start with VPS web hosting to avoid a complex migration

Ask any webmaster: The process of moving from one web hosting service to another is incredibly stressful. Although most hosting companies will support you and even offer hands-on assistance during this time, moving large quantities of data and changing domain settings can cause unexpected problems.

One of these problems is downtime. Your visitors will be frustrated if your website starts to respond slowly as the result of increased traffic. However, making your website unavailable, even for just a few hours, is sure to result in lost business.

As you explore the different web hosting services available, compare the price of an entry-level VPS hosting service to that of shared hosting. Estimate the price difference realistically over the course of 12 months.

You will probably find that you can get VPS hosting at a price that still works for your budget. Those few extra dollars give you more control, better security, and an isolated operating system. Most importantly, those few dollars can give you peace of mind and confidence to grow your business online.

5 Ideas For a Successful Website

October 29, 2012/in Featured, Search Engine Optimization, Website Design, Website Hosting /by BACKUP

A website acts as an image for your business and hence it is essential to portray a good picture of yourself by creating a good looking and functioning websites. In this blog we will give some tips that you should follow in order to have a successful website.

1. Most Important: A clean and professional website
When a user visits your site, they should immediately understand that your website means business. Imagine yourself visiting some website and noticing a bad design, broken links and difficult navigation. What will you do in such a case? You will exit the browser or switch to another website. Hence, having a website with great design, professional look and feel is very important. Visitors should be able to navigate easily and find the information that they are looking for. Having a good looking website also helps increase the conversion rate. Believe it or not, looks do matter on the internet.

2. Update content regularly
People constantly look for information over the internet and want to read good articles and blog with latest news and updates. Apart from content, having an old phone number or an office address might also cost you dearly. Your customers may be trying to reach you by looking at the old phone number on your website. This creates a bad name for you as the customers will complain about poor customer service. Hence, it is necessary to keep the updated information on the website and help your customers achieve what they want to do.

3. Establish clear calls to action
Every website should have a desired objective for the visitor whether it is selling a product, signing up a news letter or completing a contact us form. Call to action is not only limited to ecommerce site but every website should be able to engage the audience. A visitor on the website should get an idea of what your business is about and what you want them to do on the website.

4. Use analytics for your website
A analytic loot helps you measure your performance, gives you a better understanding of which pages are performing better than the other. With the help of analytic tool you can determine what changes you need to make on the website. If you realize that your visitors are exiting the website from a particular page more often, you need to make that page more interactive, include a call to action or change that page completely.

5. Making a website search engine friendly
Search engines ranking are very important as that is one of the key ways your users are going to find you on the internet, The internet has millions of website including yours, and search engines is a way by which you users will find you site. Having a good search engine ranking will increase the number of visitors you get on your site. Make sure everything from your content and URLs to your code is targeting keywords correctly. Search engines are taking page load times into account now, so make sure yours loads as fast as it possibly can.

6. Bonus Point…Have a fast loading website.
Slow loading pages can be very annoying. They are a test of users’ patience. Move your website onto Coast Internet Publishing’s high speed servers for fast loading times.

The Advantages of Linux Website Hosting

October 7, 2011/in Featured, Website Hosting /by BACKUP

Within the current world economical climate, CEOs and business professionals routinely find themselves turning to an array of different techniques in order to increase profit. Some firms focus their attention on customer service, some innovate with new products, and others attempt to increase income through additional marketing and promotion. These methods have the potential to transform the revenue for even the most struggling business. But the most effective solution for increasing profit is often a simple process.

Before increasing expenditures on attracting new customers, the best advice to improve your profit is to take a look at your business costs. For companies with an online presence, overpriced web hosting can have a significant impact on margins. So how can you find a low-cost hosting solution that maximizes your return on investment (ROI)?

How A Shared Hosting Solution Can Be A False Economy

For many website owners, the first hosting solution is a modest shared hosting plan. Shared hosting is an easy-to-use and affordable solution that provides enough resources to accommodate a website with modest traffic. However, once the traffic increases, shared web hosting quickly becomes inadequate. The money you may save by choosing a budget shared hosting solution for your online presence quickly becomes irrelevant when long periods of downtime turn your potential customers away and on to your competitors.

Dedicated server hosting is on the other end of the performance scale, allowing users to host fully-fledged websites with complex implementation and high resource requirements. Where shared hosting customers sit alongside numerous other accounts on one hardware server, a dedicated server ensures consistently good performance with dedicated hardware resources. Nevertheless, many customers are reluctant to make the jump to a dedicated hosting solution, due to the relatively high costs of renting a dedicated server.

It’s true, some of the dedicated hosting plans out there can set you back hundreds of dollars per month. But not all offers are the same and if you know what to look for – and where to look – you can get a dedicated machine for less than you would expect. One option is to choose Linux dedicated server hosting as the power of a Linux dedicated server is at a more affordable price point than Windows alternatives.

Why are dedicated Linux plans more affordable than Windows solutions?

With web hosting, it is important to balance performance requirements with budget considerations. Things are rarely as simple as finding the cheapest hosting option. Instead, you should be searching for a dependable, reliable host that has a fair and transparent pricing scheme in place.

When it comes to Linux dedicated servers, there are several factors that influence the total cost of ownership, including initial costs, ongoing costs, and the cost of associated software. Let’s analyze these three groups of expenses, and see why Linux dedicated servers are more affordable than Windows servers.

1. Setup Costs

Most Windows hosting providers will charge you a hefty fee for setting up your dedicated server. The fee covers the workload required to install the server and, in most cases, a part of the cost of the software installed on the server. The setup cost for a Linux dedicated server is usually smaller, as the Linux operating system is completely free to use, even for commercial purposes. Additionally, you can easily find providers that will setup your Linux server free of charge, saving you a lot of money in the process.

2. Monthly Costs

The bulk of the costs associated with hosting your website on a dedicated server come from the monthly fees. Over the course of a fiscal year, the cost of leasing a dedicated server hosting solution could potentially run into thousands of dollars. Windows Server, the operating system used on Windows hosting plans, costs hundreds of dollars to license – a price that is passed on to and ultimately paid by the customer. Because Linux is free to use, hosting providers generate substantial savings when using a popular Linux distribution such as Ubuntu, CentOS, or Debian. In turn, customers who choose Linux get a fully-featured operating system for a much smaller fee.

3. Software Costs

One cost category that should not be neglected is the cost of the software installed on the dedicated server. Many customers don’t take into account the costs of the various applications that will run on the server, and do not factor these costs into their budgets. Linux is the foundation of the open source ecosystem and hundreds of free applications are designed to integrate with it, from PHP and MySQL to Zen Cart and WordPress. In contrast, most applications available on Windows Server are only available with pricy commercial licenses.

For the best return on investment, choose a Linux dedicated hosting provider

When searching for a hosting plan that can handle increased traffic while remaining affordable and cost-effective, Linux dedicated servers provide excellent features and a rich feature set, at a price that is significantly lower than the overall cost of a Windows machine. Unless you specifically require a Windows environment, Linux plans should be your first option, as they provide a better return for your investment and a superior set of features.

There are many Linux dedicated hosting plans available and sometimes it can be difficult to make the difference between marketing talk and genuine quality offers. Before committing to any hosting plan, thoroughly research the market and make sure to take into account all the costs associated with the dedicated hosting solution.

The Rewards Of Server Co-location

September 9, 2010/0 Comments/in Website Hosting /by BACKUP

Colocation can also be known as information centre hosting. It can be an assistance which enables customers to benefit from the features of an professional IT department, without having to obtain an IT department.

There are many people who usually do not know about managed hosting and server colocation and its importance to companies with websites. You will find many rewards to server colocation and one of the most critical ones would be that your server will never ever go down. You will no longer need to worry about having to maintain your server as this is done by the co-location hosting company. In the event of disasters such as earthquakes or storms your server will still be up and running, your website will load much faster and will be able to handle much more traffic.

Another advantage is that your website is not on a server with hundreds of other websites making it vulnerable to hackers, viruses and spammers that might get the IP address you share with them blocked.
