I use Webs.com for my business also, like LisaCarey & Brittanyls have posted here. I don't use hardly any of the features there and I like it that way lol. If I ever decide to, I can do that also. My husband uses MSN hosting. Mine has always been free and his has too. He'll have to pay starting in February though, it's $14.95 a year. That's pretty good for having it free for over 3 years already. That includes the domain name. It's all a tax write-off anyway as a business expense.
I asked him, are you sure it's $14.95 a year and not a month? Then we looked and it's per year. Even if it's $14.95 a month, it would totally be worth it. He has the exact domain name he wants. His is always on the first page of Google ~ Mine can be found on the first page or two, which is fine by me :)
And yes, these are "serious" websites that we sell through. We only take customers in person and by appt. here at our home for his PC stuff, which is under monitored surveillance 24/7.
He won't ship PC's and I won't sell my photos unless I'm emailed and paid personally through Paypal or in person. They have to email or call me though, then I can email them lots of "low-res" sample pics that won't get jacked/copied. They'll look like crap if they do try to copy ~ I have to protect my copyrights. I do sell them at shows alongside my handmade jewelry as well.
I tell potential customers that it's best to come here. I have a huge collection so when pple come into town and are serious buyers, they actually have to come to our home, and that happens quite a bit, so that works for me.
I also get emails stating they aren't anywhere near here and want to purchase. I then email them the aforementioned low-res samples, and a good percentage do buy that way.
