shrewdies.net

This website, though user-friendly for inexperienced webmasters, covers technical issues. I also run shrewdies.org and shrewdies.com, which cover business and management issues.

Web Business Hosting

Strictly speaking, hosting refers to running the computers that connect to the Internet, and hiring space to website owners, usually with additional services, such as domain registration.

With the advent of companies like WordPress.com, who will host your website for free, the situation becomes less clear. Also, other companies that provide web business development support, make it difficult to know exactly what the hosting options are.

I will help you understand your hosting options, but mainly I concentrate on getting your web business working. I believe self-hosted WordPress websites are the best solution for most web businesses, and I can help with any technical issues that you have with such sites. With experience of many other alternatives, I can help you decide if this option is right for you.

Launch To Lucre Or As You Need It

Most of the site is my platform for guiding new starters how to build a website and fulfil their goals. I remove the mystery from this process so that you can quickly launch your web business. Along the way towards earning some lucre (or Launch To Love for non-profits), we effortlessly complete many technical tasks. Sometimes, problems can arise and I help you fix them.

Even if you are “just passing” I can answer most questions about building your website. There is absolutely no obligation on your part – membership of this site, including the forum is free. If you want to spend money on web building tools, please feel free to discuss them in the forums before you commit. There are some great tools available, but also some that are a complete waste of time. You might as well discuss these before you spend your money.

Purpose of shrewdies.net

I am convinced that every web business owner needs one important thing before they start – a clear purpose. I explain more about this elsewhere, but now is a good time to be clear about my purpose…

shrewdies.net is here to help webmasters, or web business owners who need webmaster skills, by providing practical guidance for technical aspects of building and optimizing WordPress websites.
