I want to ask everyone something.

I have seen this on one site and I think it is a good idea. Would you hosting customers find it very helpful if your web host had a members only site that had all kinds of information that helped you in subjects as these:

- Search Engines
- Merchant Accounts - Ecommerce.
- Html
- Graphics
- Cgi Scripts
- Tracking
- Much More

Something that will help you effectively marketing and promote your business so you can become a success?

Would this make you buy their service faster, a reason that would make you buy from them, an incentive? Or would you even care about it?

Thanks in advance, and please let me know how you feel. Smiling

I think that if this was well marketed and presented it could be an interesting and certainly worthwhile incentive to some potential customers.

I agree with JP. It would have to be well setup, maintained and kept current. Not just another rehash of the same old same-old stuff about META tags, search engines, buying ad space etc.

That stuff is OK and certainly needed for newbies. But in short order you need more "advanced" info. IOW, it could be a good marketing tool for first-time website owners. But you'll need to add more meat to it to be attractive to more experienced website owners.

Normally I find that hosts give to much "basic" HTML info. They could simply link to one of 5000 webmaster sites.

Work on a good FAQ, full list of how to use the features that come with the account. In a easy to read and FIND-ABLE format.

It sounds like a very good idea. That would be an added bonus for clients since you would most likely be the only host providing this feature.

A big portion of the site will be links to the best sites I have found and I know a tons of places for each subject. I will make my comments on each subject and include any articles I have written on the subjects.

Do you think this would still be helpful?

Thanks
Curtis
