You are More than a Paycheck (So Find a Host Who Values YOU!)

October 21, 2016 by Angela Leave a Comment

Owning a small business is more than just a job–in fact, you could even say it’s more than just a career. It’s a life calling. It means pouring your heart and soul into a company, striving to provide your customers and clients with the best product and the best service possible, and working hard to lead and inspire your employees. In today’s world, one of the most crucial elements of running a successful business is creating a successful online presence. That’s why choosing a web host is a big decision.

Unfortunately, not all web hosts offer the services that you and your company deserves. Many hosts, in fact, prefer to make a quick buck by taking advantage of business owners who haven’t done their research. A sub-par host, though, can have negative effects that ripple throughout your entire business. It can turn away potential customers. It can devalue your brand by making you look unprofessional. And, of course, it can eat away at your budget without providing any real value.

A good host, on the other hand, can enable true and lasting online success by facilitating an easy, professional, and user-friendly experience for your customers, clients, contacts, the press, etc.

So with all these being said, what is it that makes RFE Hosting special? We work hard to prove to each and every one of our clients that they are special to us, and that we truly care about their success. This means sparing no expense when it comes to investing in the best equipment, technology, and staff. It means offering our customers an unparalleled level of individualized support available at all hours of the day and night. And it means backing these claims with a money back satisfaction guarantee.

So why stay with a host who doesn’t value your company? Visit RFE online today to learn more about the services we offer, and check out our online reviews to see why we are the company that your company deserves!

4 Criteria for Choosing the Best Hosting Company

October 11, 2016 by Angela Leave a Comment

The phrase “hosting company” brings up over twenty-four million results on Google: so as virtually any small business owner knows, choosing between all those options can seem like an overwhelming decision. As history has shown, however, a quality web host can help facilitate online success–and, conversely, a sub-par host can do a lot to undermine success. Although choosing a host is important, it doesn’t need to be stressful. The following four criteria can help you tell the good, from the bad, from the ugly.

Customer Service. We’re leading off with customer service because, in most cases, none of the other criteria will even matter if your hosting company doesn’t have your back. A good hosting company will care about your company’s success and work hard to ensure that you have the right hosting service for your needs.
Uptime. Your website cannot build your brand, make sales, or inform customers if it is not online–and, in fact, having a non-functioning website is one of the best ways to turn potential customers away. This is why choosing a company with an outstanding uptime is crucial.
Scalability. Over the years, there will be times when your company grows and times when you may need to temporarily downsize operations. A company that offers a wide variety of hosting options will be uniquely prepared to handle the ebb and flow of your online needs.
Reputation. Last but certainly not least, you should rely on the advice of those who have come before you. After all, any company can claim to have certain values, but the only way to know for certain whether or not they adhere to those values is to get input from current and past customers. Checking out reviews is a great way of doing just that.

Here at RFE Hosting, we strive to be the best hosting option on the market, and a big part of this involves valuing the four criteria mentioned above. Visit our website to learn more!

How To Add Images To A WordPress Post

March 30, 2016 by Angela Leave a Comment

There are lots of good reasons to add photos to your blog and/or website. The most obvious reason is that they make the content better. After all, nobody wants to read through thousands of words of text without a few pictures to make it more entertaining–and many pictures can in fact enhance or explain the content that is being shown. Another, equally compelling reason to add images, however? Content that features images does better in terms of SEO than content that relies entirely on text. If you’re new to WordPress, the odds are you’re getting used to a whole lot of information all at once, so here’s some good news: adding photos and images to your WordPress posts is extremely easy! Here’s how:

Adding Images to WordPress

The process of adding an image to a WordPress post is slightly different depending where you are getting the image from, so here are three different scenarios all with specific instructions.

Uploading an image from your computer. Simply place your cursor where you want the image to appear, then drag the file from its folder directly over WordPress.

Uploading from your media library. If you’d like to simply attach a photo that is already in your WordPress media library, all you need to do is place the cursor where you’d like the image to appear, then click on add media, which is located directly above your editor. Select media library, then find the image you wish to use and select it. You will be given the chance to edit its settings before uploading; you can use this if you’d like or just ignore it.

Using another photo from the web. Once again, begin by clicking on add media. Then, select the insert from URL tab and provide the URL of the image you wish to use. Please note, however, that with this method the image will still be hosted on the original website–meaning that, should the owner take the image down, it will no longer remain on your website either.

With these three methods for adding images to your WordPress posts, you’ll be on your way to creating great, SEO-friendly content in no time!
