I don't know about things to make your site "stick out", but their hosting packages seem a little pricey, especially on the high end of things.

Well, comparing them with my companies I get this:

beyonddomains - SilverPlus - 50MB / 5GB / 10 email / 50MB - $28.50 /mo
SilverStar WebDesigns - S0 50mb / 5GB / 25 Email / MYSQL - $14.95/mo

beyonddomains - Gold - 250MB / 10GB /50 email/ $27.50 /mo
beyonddomainsGoldPlus - 250MB / 10GB / 50 email/ 250MB SQL - $52.50 /mo
SilverStar WebDesigns - S2 - 200MB / 15GB / 50 Email / MYSQL - $27.95/mo

beyonddomains Platinum - 500MB / 20GB / 100 email/ No SQL - $30.00 /mo
beyonddomains PlatinumPlus - 500MB / 30GB / 100 email/ 500MBSQL - $87.50
SilverStar WebDesigns - S5 - 500MB - 30GB / 250 Email / MYSQL - $56.95

See Also:
SilverStar WebDesigns Reseller plan (host 1 or more domains)
BRS1 - 1GB Space, 20GB transfer, upto 20 domains - $25/mo.
BRS2 - 2GB space, 25GB transfer, upto 40 domains - $35/mo

MartialTalk also offers hosting packages to it's members
MT75 - 75MB / 5GB / 25 Email / MYSQL - $10/mo ($120/yr)
MT150 - 150MB / 10GB / 50Email / MYSQL - $17/mo ($204/yr)

It's not the job of the host company to make you stick out. They may provide a few tools, but ultimately, it's in your hands. Most people focus on the search engines as the "be all". They aren't. They are only 1 part of the total promotion.

Search engines are constantly changing their rules, so it's almost impossible for 1 person to keep up on them all. There are some long-time rules though that seem to always work.
- Clean code under the hood
- Minimize FLASH.
- Use ALT tags on graphics
- Use META tags to your advantage
- Use the TITLE tag.
- Good clean copy on all your pages. Use real text, not images of text. Pictures aren't indexed, but text is.
- Don't try the old "hidden word" or "lots of repeated word" tricks.
- Reciprical links are your friend. Link to others in your niche, and have them link back to you.
- Easy to understand navigation. No "Mystery Meat".

That will give you a clean, professional site, and start some traffic moving.

Do you have to link back to the exact page? For example, many of us have a links page.

Also, can you give us a couple of examples of websites hosted by you under the $10 per month plan?

Thanks,

I don't believe so. I normally jsut link to the main page, and ask them to do the same. Most links pages don't have alot of 'meat' in them, whereas your index page if properly designed, will.

Also, can you give us a couple of examples of websites hosted by you under the $10 per month plan?

Thanks,
A quick cut-paste of the MA sites currently hosting on that plan. KenpoTalk is on the larger MT package at the moment. Theres alot of room to grow in those packages.

Average size of those accounts is about 20mb. Most are under 10, largest out of the list is Martialartsphotography at 130MB (it's on the 150 plan), KenpoTalk at 90MB, and Sikaran.net at 60mb. Rest are under 50megs. Note: space reported here includes any email currently in their inboxes as well as stats, webspace, etc.

Question about Domains and MBs...

When you purchase a plan with x amount of MBs, can you host more than 1 domain on it? I can easily see the scenario of having my martial arts website using half of the alloted MBs and my day job using the other half.

Thanks,
Andrew
