Peter Publishing introduces low cost web hosting for small businesses

Peter Publishing is a small publisher catering for the needs of small businesses.  Many small businesses rely on inexpensive means of advertising and promotion to build awareness of their products. For example many small businesses use flyers and classified advertisements to promote their products. Peter Publishing provides low cost web hosting services and functional websites for small businesses to build awareness of their brand, product and services through the internet.

 

“As a small business ourselves, we saw a niche market for small business needing low cost exposure of their products on the internet” says Dr. Peter Achutha “Many of them are too busy with their business operations, know nothing about web hosting or do not have the expertise to set up an internet presence. Worst still they are unable to cope with web hosting related problems such as hacked sites and slowing hosts. Furthermore as more and more of the younger generation turn to the internet and not the newspapers to search for information, products and services, it becomes imperative to have an innovative internet presence. ”

 

Peter Publishing was set up by Dr. Peter Achutha after many years in corporate environment, later freelancing and now operating a small business. “It is really tough to operate a small business as you have limited access to funds, marketing channels, and many small businesses run on tight budgets” says Dr. Peter Achutha. “Presence and persistence is the key to success and an internet based web solution provides a inexpensive and low cost of maintenance, round the clock presence.”

 

Three key steps to set up a low cost website for small businesses

Firstly, the purpose of a low cost website for a small business is to display your products and services just like a shop or supermarket so that prospective customers know what you have to offer.  Secondly, it will show how to contact you and thirdly where your premises is physically located. This is necessary if the bulk of your business is walk-in business or based upon face to face meetings.

 

Selecting a reliable low cost web hosting provider

The first step for a small business to have a successful low cost internet presence is in choosing a good and reliable hosting services provider. Peter Publishing searched through the vast amount of information on hosting services and reviews and complaints available on the internet and examined many hosting services. They then screened them and shortlisted 3 hosting providers for speed of page downloads and quick response to technical support. And from there they selected LiquidNet Ltd., UK and became a reseller for LiquidNet Ltd., UK.
