Optimizing your website for search engines is tricky. Some people think their website needs to be flashy to attract search engines. One thing I have learned over the years is search that engines don't care what your website looks like. Instead, they use programs called spiders or crawlers to view your website. These programs follow the links on your site to drill down and view the content of every page. They also follow links from other sites to that are linked to yours as well as links from your site to the sites that you link to. From there your websites pages will be stored in a search engine database for quick retrieval.

Website hosting is probably the most important decision you'll make when launching a new website. The good news is that there are plenty of good low cost web hosting companies available to choose from. The bad news is that there are just as many bad website hosting companies out there to choose from. Before starting your search for a hosting company for your website, you need to ask yourself what are the features that you require? How much disk space and bandwidth will your website need? Will you need access to programming languages such as PHP or PERL? Will your website require a database? Will you need access to the cpanel to create email accounts or to review your website statistics? If all of this sounds like foreign language, I will attempt to explain them one at a time.
