Webhosting With Free Domain Name Transfer

Author: Content Manager  //  Category: Domains

One of the biggest problems in transferring a domain from a previous host is the amount of work involved. If this is your first time transferring a domain this can be nerve wracking. Even experienced webmasters get the jitters when thinking about all the things can go wrong when transferring:

  1. Files

  2. Databases

  3. Scripts

  4. There are webhosts that will transfer primary domains free of charge to new accounts/clients up to 30 days after signup. If you have an add-on domain a custom price quote may be needed.

A good tech support staff will be able to answer questions about problems should they occur during your domain transfer.

      Author: Content Manager  //  Category: error pages

      404 error pages are a fact of life. But webmasters often construct 404 page not found in such a way that it does not help the visitor find what they are looking for. This is a waste of their time and yours. Some 404 page designers will even include a humorous message with no further information. Dead end error pages are a good way of loosing website traffic and visitors. At the very least it would be best to include a search box. One way to hold on to these visitors and potentially make some sales is to not only include a search box but a site map. This is especially useful if you have moved or deleted content. Many visitors will use one or the other and possibly find helpful content. Never leave your traffic stranded. Be considerate and helpful to your visitors at all times.

      Another technique is to use a redirect written in javascript; but this only works if the browser
