Daniel asks…

how do i build a smart web site structure on Yahoo! small business?

I have a site that will leverage both http and https, and is hosted on Yahoo! small business services. I want to avoid the message “this page contains sercure and nonsecure …” when a user visits the secure section of the site.

At first glance, I figured that I could place all of the required content into a folder under /ssl and everything would be just fine. However, that poses some serious content management issues.

So, if I want to only maintain content in one place, can I place all of it under /ssl and be just fine? If so, how do I modify the include_path to point to something like /ssl/include vs. the standard /include?

Am I missing something?

admin answers:

All your links to images, etc. Need to be secure. If you have anything that is from an http request it will throw that message. Everythign must be https://

Charles asks…

I’m trying to startup a webpage for my “Event Coordinating” Business..?

I was looking in Yahoo Small Business web hosting, but I could not figure out what plan is best for me to purchase. Just to give you a bit of imformation about my business. I’m not really interested in multiple e-mail accounts unless it’s just a perk with a reasonable package. I will have a lot of graphics because of pictures of my designs for (receptions, weddings, etc). That’s just the basics. If anyone could help me. It would be greatly appreciated.

admin answers:

I run biopharmnetwork.org. I started by buying the domain at GoDaddy [sic] because I have dealt with them for my wife’s business over 10 years. I then used the domain to set up a site on Google Sites. Google sites is free, without advertising, and you get free e-mails. You don’t have to buy your domain through Google’s affiliate – they charge more, have less domains, and from the help forums I get the impression they seem to make mistakes. Google has clear instructions how to set up your domain at GoDaddy to use their sites and e-mail, plus plenty of other documentation.

GoDaddy has good human customer service and technical support. Google doesn’t seem to have any.

I want to do more than Google will allow and while their page editor is easy to start with my group has grown to 20,000 and I found some limitations, so I paid for the lowest level of hosting at GoDaddy ($70/yr). That’s working out fine, and is probably as cheap as any non Google host without advertising. I am in the middle of transferring some content from Google to GoDaddy and will leave some on Google. Take a look at my site – as a club site it is meant to look a little home made – then check out Google Sites and GoDaddy. E-mail me with any questions. I’ll send you a phone number if you want to talk it through.

I agree with the previous answer – you need to present a professional face to your customers. To be cost effective, you will need a clear concept of your site before you talk to a developer. I would look first at GoDaddy’s development service and use that if it seems OK, to keep a single point of responsibility (as a project manager, l love single point of responsibility). I don’t think many professional developers would work on Google sites, but I believe Google has a few listed as outside resources.

If you don’t have a domain name yet, make sure you pick one that somehow conveys the essence of your business and is not too long.

PS: Out of curiosity, I went looking afterward for independent reviews of web hosting services. The last two links get you there. I have no experience with any of the services mentioned. M
