Why I Recommend XSitePro

Web Hosting Merry-Go-Round

Wow, web hosting is something else!  I’ve been going around in circles this week.

Because I’m creating a lot of niche affiliate sites, I have hosting with a number of different companies.  I prefer to spread the sites around a little bit for the sake of inter-linking and in the event a server goes down for awhile.  That way, just some of my sites will be offline but not all of them.

I’m not talking about YouTube videos here.  Membership sites often have tons of video training but only allow streaming online.  I also find there is a treasure of information provided in videos used in the big time product launches or even on the sales pages that don’t have a download link.

Well Rudy Dhondt, an internet marketer, figured out… Continue reading
