Are You Still Paying Hosting Fees for a Website?
March 1st, 2008 by GlennOM4 will give you a free website with no hosting fees.
Head on over to OM4Business or OM4Tourism (if you are a tourism business).
There is no catch. No setup fee. No hosting fees. No ads. Very powerful websites, none of this cut down stuff. You don’t have to buy an upgrade to get the real deal. Self managed content (Wordpress underneath). Self managed design. All sorts of features designed so that you can market yourself online. Your own domain name, and your own domain email addresses. And we offer education and support.
If you want to understand how we can do this, there are two answers.
Answer 1: You get a free site and free hosting and free education. If you want to outsource some of your online marketing work (such as email marketing, search marketing, content marketing, keyword analysis), you can outsource it through us. Optional, and not free. Enough people use our services, our business works.
Answer 2: A bit of a longer story, but told beautifully by Chris Anderson at Wired Magazine. Free! Why $0.00 Is the Future of Business. There are not many services like ours to my knowledge - free blog platforms, but not a fully fledged free business website. There are a huge number of companies paying setup and hosting fees for a business website. Chris’ article makes me think it may not be too long before what we do becomes a lot more common.
Historical note: Chris Anderson wrote an article in Aug 2004 Wired Magazine called The Long Tail. Soon after I read that article, I resigned from IBM’s consulting division to launch my own business. I had an A0 sized poster made up of The Long Tail. I’ll have to get a poster of this one too.
