Open Source Content Management

Hi Guys. I'm new to the site and would just like to say hi. I've recently registered my business and am a virgin entrepreneur so if you have any advice I'd really like a few pointers I do have one question though - I need a website but I don't really know who's the best at web hosting - any suggestions?

Hi Monique,
We have also started our business not too long ago and we have made very good experiences with Afrihost - I can only recommend them as your hosting company. Their prices are good and their support is excellent - when we had a problem with the server they got back to us within minutes and that also after hours - great!
Please let me know if you need any other info as we do offer webdesign too.
Have a great day!
Anke

Thanks Anke - Afrihost is definitely one of the options I'm considering - good to know that they're professional. Will be in touch about the web design when I'm ready - still getting my logo designed ...

No problem Just let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi guys
I have a UK host and I must say, i am not reaching my SA market, so I am looking for a good host for the three ECommerce sites I have, are these guys recommended?

@yourfitstore.com - changing hosting is not going to make much difference in terms of 'reaching my SA market'.

You need to do search engine optimization.

Hi
Got it, I will have a dot com and a dot co.za site with the same name, SEO them both and will attract both countries.
But, I have a need for three other sites to register and still looking for a SA hosting company

@yourfitstore

If you are planning to have essentially two copies of the same site then watch out for duplicate content, it will hurt your search engine rankings.

What i wanted to do was have the suppliers from the UK on the UK site, the SA suppliers on the SA site, not duplicating the products as such. Although, not sure if Google is finding me in SA?

this forum thread is starting to go a little off topic - Monique was originally asking about hosting.

But - the best would be to setup up Google Analytics and take a look at the reports. You will see how people are finding your site, where they come from etc etc...
