Do you own or run a number of websites which you generate

income from by displaying adverts from the big networks,
I am sure like everyone else you have experimented with

different types of advertising banners, text ads, pop ups,
cpm, pay per clicks and of course the different networks

google adsense, yahoo/overture, bidvertiser, clicksor
..so I’m sure you are all aware of the time it can take to

change all your advertising over to a new network if your
working with a number of sites with large amounts of pages,

with your own ad server tasks like this can be done in
a matter of minutes enabling you the freedom to try out which

ad type and ad network are the most profitable for you
without spending weeks changing code. But that’s not all,  there

are loads of ways that
having your own ad server can save you time and most

importantly increase your revenues. You can use an ad server
to decide what user sees what ad,

Geo Targeting
Target country, region, or city.

Time targeting
Ads displayed at certain times of day, or days of week.

Specific page Targeting
Display advertising on specific pages of your site.

User agent targeting
Just show advertising to viewers with a certain browser or

computer operating system.

Frequency capping
Only show ads to a viewer a certain number of times per day

or per session.

Webmasters can make more with there own ad server

than with any one ad program!
By letting you run ads from different

advertisers at once. Its that simple.
By loading ad program tags into the ad server, rather than

directly on your website, you can run campaigns from many

different sources together.

On Top of that having an ad server allows you to view the
performance of your ad campaigns the second they hit your

websites. With full real time stats reporting keeping you up to

date on you earnings you can move around ad campaigns to

the parts of your sites which make the most money. Any

webmaster with more than a few websites with ad space

should consider using an ad server to save time and ultimately

make money.
The days of paying crazy money for ad servers is over,

company’s can no longer get away with charging £100 per

month for an  ad server. A lot of this is down to The Open Ads.

Openads is a hugely popular ad server. It gives you the tools

you need to make the most from online advertising.
With Openads you will be able to manage sophisticated

advertising programs and stay in control of all the advertising

on all your websites.
Openads is now capable of serving billions of ads each month.

The Open Ads Ad server can be found pre installed with

hosting and a .co.uk or .com domain name for only £74.99 per

year at Henleyhosting.co.uk

There rolling off the shelfs with some offering walkmans cameras gps satnav and other handy extras, and now of course mobile Internet access is in the hands millions of tech savy people — . A huge audience but bear in mind that most of them are viewing sports scores or downloading video clips ring tones, and not a lot else, but thats because theres not alot else.

Google, Microsoft and Yahoo! have recognised the potential of this market and are making great efforts to promote mobile ecommerce to users and advertisers. Most famous brands like Coca-Cola, MTV and Nike now have a mobile portal featuring content designed specifically for handheld devices.

As you all know this year the new top-level domain name, .mobi, was launched to encourage and organise the development of websites that are compatible with mobile phone browsers its clearly working as 10s of thousands have sold already.

Keep it Short

Although some domain names can be up to 63 characters, you have to keep in mind that people need to be able to remember it, and easily type it into their browser. Try to register the shortest name that your customers and visitors will associate with your Website. The general rule of thumb is to keep it under seven characters if possible. (Not including the suffix.)

Dot What?

There are many different extensions available right now. For businesses, we recommend a .com, .co.uk or .biz suffix.

Register Your Domain NOW

You must register as soon as possible, or risk getting stuck with “the-domain-name-that-no-one-wanted.net”. You do not have to have a Webmaster or an ecommerce department or a web design consultant… you don’t even need a web page. Just get out there and register before you lose the opportunity to get the name you really want.

One May Not Be Enough

Sometimes it is a good idea to register several similar domain names, particularly if you own a trademark for a certain name. If you have “yourname.com”, register “yourname.co.uk” so no one else takes it. You can register your full company name and a shorter, easier to remember version. Some people even register common misspellings of their company’s name. You don’t need a separate web page for each, several domains can point to the same website using domain name mappings.

Character Types

Just a reminder: domain names can only use letters, numbers, and dashes. Spaces and symbols are not allowed. Also, domain names are not case sensitive.

Dont Shell Out Large Amounts of £££

Some companies still sell domain names for as much as £100 Henley Hosting domains start at £4 per year!

And remember, if you think that you have found the right domain name, but you’re not quite sure if it’s the one… register it anyway before someone else does!

You can use the box at the top of this page to check if a domain name is available, or sign up/login to your Henley Hosting account and select the domain name link, which can check one name with multiple suffixes at once.

We are pleased to announce that the official European domain name extension .eu has now gone live. Businesses and individuals alike can register domains in real time using the Henley Hosting registration system.

“Uptake of the new . domain name has been huge, we have been processing tens of thousands of registrations over the last few days. Most businesses feel that leaving their .eu equivalent domain name unregistered means that competitors may register the domain name instead of them. That’s a risk most businesses simply won’t take, particularly at the low prices we charge.”

To register your .eu now before someone else does go to our home page www.henleyhosting.co.uk

As a domain name owner you are required to provide contact information so that other Internet users can contact you if needed. This information is often referred to as the WHOIS information.Unfortunately this information is regularly used to send unsolicited emails (spam) or could be used by competitors or other third parties to find out your address and contact information.

The good news is that we are able to protect this information for you using our domain name privacy product. For just £4.99 per year we will protect your real identity in the domain WHOIS databases by providing generic contact information using our domain name identity-secured.com. So rather than your address, your phone number and your name being displayed all they see is identity-secured.com.

Using our domain privacy product does not impact the ownership of your domain name.

People may still contact you by using a contact form on www.identity-secured.com, at no time will they see your contact information and you do not have any obligation to respond to them.

We would recommend all businesses protect their online identity.

You can order Domain Privacy on any .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz or .name domain name.
If you are a reseller why not pass this service onto your clients at a premium price? Domain privacy is simple to setup and requires no ongoing maintanance.

For .co.uk, .org.uk and .me.uk domain names you may use the free Opt-out-of-WHOIS feature. Using this feature your address details will be removed from the UK domain name WHOIS database. This feature is free on all UK domains.

Although mobile devices and the networks that support them are improving, it seems like the mobile Web is almost a secret these days because sites can be hard to locate and have little content when you find them.

And yet, with four mobile phones purchased for every one personal computer, there’s a world of people whose main access point to the Internet is a mobile device.

There is finally a solution: dotMobi.

dotMobi is the first and only top level domain dedicated to delivering the Internet to mobile devices. dotMobi will revolutionise the use of the Internet on mobile devices. dotMobi is designed to guide mobile users to made-for-mobile Internet content and services that can be accessed with confidence.

How should I use a dotMobi Domain Name?

Anyone can register a .mobi domain name and we encourage businesses and individuals to reserve their .mobi domain name now while it is available.

The idea of the .mobi domain is that websites published on a .mobi site must comply with mobile phone standards, this is to ensure that the end-user experience lives up to the promise of the dotMobi brand. An online compliance checker is provided on the .mobi site to ensure that your site is compliant.

How often do people ask – “have you got a web-site?” Your answer “I don’t need one” or “Yes, but it needs a bit of updating” or “I’ve got one but I don’t get any enquiries.

This is a common experience and many who built websites a few years ago would not have been able to take advantage of the many tools available.

Having a website is an imperative in modern businesses – the “I don’t need one” doesn’t wash with anyone – you expect it of others in business so why would you be any different?

In need of “updating” – speak to us we can either ease the pain by proving you with a content management system so you can update your site or contact us for a consultation and we’ll do it for you.

Don’t get enquiries? Either your message is wrong, or more likely it’s in the wrong place for “SEO” – Search Engine Optimisation. Search engines like Google use a set of rules to determine where in the list of responses your site comes (if at all) – speak to us and we’ll help you get those enquiries.

Everyone is aware of the internet. Most will be aware of the uses of ’social
networking’ sites like My Space and Facebook, some will be aware that
internet shopping is becoming increasingly popular.  But many small
businessmen or tradesmen will shy away from using the internet for their
businesses - viewing it as inappropriate and therefore not for them, or, in
extreme cases “I’ve got enough business already - why do I need the
internet?”

The fact remains that having your own website is the most cost-effective and
credible form of marketing and advertising in the modern age.  Even
relatively small businesses invest thousands each year in newspaper
advertising and local directories when the most popular method of sourcing
and enquiries by prospective customers are search engines like Google.  So
here is the 21st Century news.  If you don’t have a website they won’t find
you.  If you don’t have a website your business will lose credibility - if
it isn’t doing so already.

The truth is that if you knew how little websites cost then it is only fear
of the technology that is putting you off.

You can have your own web-site (.co.uk) including email and build one quite
easily yourself from a start price of £32.99 per year.

So how much did you spend last month on your newspaper advert?
