Why You Might Need VPS Hosting

Dec

24

VPS stands for Virtual Private Servers and acts as a data and web file storage operated by a cloud or web hosting provider. Using virtualization technology, VPS hosting splits a single physical machine into multiple private server environments where they share the resources. When compared to shared and dedicated hosting, VPS hosting sits in between the two in terms of performance levels, flexibility, and control.

What is VPS Hosting?

There are three main types of VPS hosting:

Unmanaged/Self-Managed VPS Hosting: A hands-on approach that requires technical expertise or in-house resources to manage server-related tasks. With unmanaged VPS hosting, the business owner takes care of all server responsibilities while the hosting provider manages the physical server and its availability, making it more suitable for established businesses with the necessary IT skills.
Managed VPS Hosting: A hands-off approach that lets business owners focus fully on other business tasks while the hosting provider handles server-related responsibilities like core updates, maintenance, and software installation, so business owners can focus fully on other business tasks.
Semi-Managed VPS Hosting: The middle ground between other options, with the basic unmanaged hosting provided and the added services of core software installation and support.

You should consider switching to VPS hosting if you need to:

Handle more website traffic: Reduce page load times and wait times as your website traffic grows since it can handle a higher volume of requests compared to shared hosting.
Customize applications: Gain more control over your server environment to install custom software and integrate better with existing programs like CRM systems.
Reduce server errors: Enhance your website’s performance as you add more content or complex functionality, as VPS hosting can handle compute-heavy websites better because they’re not competing with other sites for processing power.

Benefits of VPS Hosting

There are many reasons why VPS hosting is preferable. For example, VPS hosting provides:

Protection from resource-intensive attacks
Extra security through the addition of firewalls, antivirus, and other software measures
Fast and reliable performance due to having your own bandwidth
Round-the-clock support focused full-time on server maintenance and reduced downtime
Optimized environment for performance and security

Dec

It’s more important than ever for businesses today to reach a wider audience, especially if you’re looking to take your company global. Localization can help you do just that by adapting your products and services to different cultures and languages.

Website design and development: Designing and developing websites that are culturally appropriate for different markets.
Content creation: Creating content that’s relevant to different cultures.
Marketing and SEO: Marketing your products and services to different markets and optimizing your website for search engines for different markets.

By making your products and services more accessible to foreign markets, it’ll help grow your sales and build a positive brand reputation. Our localization experience began in the 90s when we were originally known as “Double Byte Specialists” and localized and licensed software between the U.S. and Japan.

Today, we use our two decades of expertise to help small businesses reach their Japanese customers with custom development, custom design, and marketing services. If you’re looking to do the same, look no further! Get started by requesting a free consultation with us by heading over to our Localization Services page. We hope to hear from you soon.

The Importance of Referrals in a Business Association Group

Dec

10

Networking is more important than ever in today’s fast-paced business world. Business association groups provide an easy opportunity to connect with other like-minded professionals, share insights, and collaborate on projects. But the real power of these associations lies in referral potential.

What is a referral?

A referral is a recommendation from one person to another. In business associations, referrals are when a member recommends another member to a potential client or partner.

Why Referrals are Essential:

Generates Quality Leads: Referrals often lead to higher-quality leads because they come from trusted sources.
Accelerates Growth: By leveraging referrals, businesses can expand their reach and accelerate growth.
Strengthens Relationships: Referring someone helps strengthen relationships within the association.
Improves Reputation: A reputation of being a reliable referral source enhances your professional standing.

How to Develop an Effective Referral Culture

Communicate Effectively: Clearly express your client’s or partner’s needs.

Website Design Basics: A Beginner’s Guide

Nov

26

Today, a website acts as a potential customer’s first impression of your business, so a visually appealing website is vital. Your website’s design will play a large role in attracting visitors and encouraging them to take action, whether it’s buying your products or signing up for your email newsletter. Here are a few web design basics we think every business owner should know:

Less is More

While putting everything out there on your website is tempting, not everything needs to be on your website. By embracing a more minimalistic approach, you can create a more engaging and effective website. Prioritize clear and concise keyword-rich content, and use plenty of white space to improve your website’s overall readability and aesthetic appeal. Remember to choose relevant keywords for your business and target audience that naturally fit into your content and avoid keyword stuffing.

Prioritize Readability

One of the easiest ways to keep visitors coming and staying on your website is by making it easy to read. To do that, use:

Easy-to-read fonts
High-resolution images
Contrasting colors
Subheadings
Short paragraphs
Shorter sentences

Use Consistent Branding

Maintaining a cohesive visual identity across all pages of your website establishes a sense of professionalism and trust with your audience. To keep your brand consistent throughout your website, use:

A limited color palette that reflects your brand identity
Your company logo in your website header and footer
Consistent typography (font, sizes, line spacing, letter spacing, etc.)

Optimize for Mobile Devices

The majority of people use their cell phones to visit various websites today, so making sure your website is mobile-optimized is vital. A site that visually breaks on mobile will deter visitors from returning. In fact, search engines like Google will penalize sites that aren’t mobile-optimized by ranking them lower in search results, leading to decreased visibility and fewer visitors overall. The easiest way to optimize your website for mobile devices is to use responsive design elements and a grid system, which will ensure your site will adapt to different screen sizes.

While a well-designed website is vital for business owners today, designing a website as a non-designer can be intimidating; knowing your website needs updating or improving is easy, but knowing how to improve it isn’t always easy. That’s why many businesses trust companies like ours to build and design websites for them, making it easier. If you’re looking for professional design services for your website, check out our affordable web design packages.
