WebsiteMagick: Here is your quote: "Again as I've said many times if you have a serious business use professional hosting services right form the start. If you have a hobby, free hosting is fine as your business wont be affected by your hosts advertisements on your site, downtime and lack of support services."
Here is my response. Thanx~The Apache Server is doing just fine, although I do like microsoft. Without "begging the question" or entering into a negative engagement, (arguing), ridesober.webstarts.com, is a great site for people who have a driving drunk, problem, as it is a rather homebody site. It's always nice to be home, if one has ever been arrested for DWI.
Secondly, although, I'll eventually upgrade the site, it's a good example of what one receives for free. And I can also post my affiliate link there.
http://www.webstarts.com/?aff=rox. So I like the advertising.
Thirdly, after reviewing your text box advice, if you search, Google, Yahoo, Bing and others, using the keyword mcbikergear, you will find # one (1) listings for the site
http://www.mcbikergear.com, and in those listings, not only text but also images. I understand what your saying though, as perhaps the background logo, is being registered as an image in the main Home~Page text box.
Fourthly, I have to say something of the professionalism of my site, as compares to WebSite Magick. Although, your capabilities for website design may be extreme in availability, and offer great website design service, your service is not a professional replacement for a simple opportunity for the layman, like myself.
After doing the math, If I had the money to pay for professional website design, as with WebSite Magick, and your service would have designed
http://www.mcbikergear.com exactly as it is designed today, it would have cost me over 50K, considering the time spent at your rate of $25 per hour. Add another $2500 in time/money at $45 per hour for the shopping cart, of which PayPal, on http://mcbikergear.com is perfectly suitable, secure and free.
Fifthly~Compare the above costs for a brand new online business
http://www.mcbikergear.com, to $150.00, for the ultimately professional host, Webstarts , and of course the incomparable, PayPal, of which the PayPal Business Standard is free. Add this, to your $20 coin purse, for images that are either free or cost minimally, from DepositPhotos.com, and one would have to say the professionalism, beauty, ease of operation, savings, and enjoyable shopping experience, at http://www.mcbikergear.com, and community information of http:/www.ridesober.webstarts.com, far outweigh any advantage you may perceive at WebMagick. Not that I wouldn't keep your company in mind as with others, for any future benefit.
Although there is everything that can not be absolutely guaranteed anywhere, updating services are a part of all servers format, therefore any server can experience "downtime" at anytime. As far as customer service is concerned, the best is "Live Support", but one also wants effective email feedback and response. I can testify that my host is superb in both, but those are just two of the many benefits available. Ease of access is imperative with the hosts phone number readily available at 1-800-805-0920 and the same is true for mcbikergear.com at 1-877-613-4733,

Lastly: Personally speaking! How do you ask for a sale? And, are you practicing, faithfully, good salesmanship? If someone was trying to sell you a vacuum cleaner, and introduced themselves by talking about the latest UFO report, would you not sort of perk up and perhaps expand your attention gap. Perhaps! But
ridesober.webstarts.com is sponsored by
mcbikergear.com, therefore its mission is to prevent DWI/DUI. The company mcbikergear.com offers leathers and gear to motorcycle entusiasts, which are notorious drinkers, but are also licensed to operate motor vehicles on US highways, streets, and roads. Let me ask you a question! Where would be the best place to give away a message of safety, and compliance with the law.? Now let me answer it! Obvoiusly, where the situation would be the most detrimental! That is the reason for the poll, because it get's people interested in doing one thing, saving lives, and maybe there own! And secondarily, they can preview the results of the effort at ridesober.webstarts.com, which can also result in an affiliate action. Meanwhile have you read Og Mandino's The World's Greatest Salesman, why not?
Hope you buy a jacket!
