Others use it to start an online home based business  as they can easily find out anything needed for starting a home based business. If you are intending to launch your own home based online business opportunity, this article is for you. It shows you 3 notes you should know before beginning.

1. Choosing an online home based business opportunity:

To help you identify a good opportunity, I make a list of the questions that you should use when choosing a business opportunity.

- Has it been in business at least 5 years? (Yes is good)- Does it have a track record? (Yes is good)- Is it a global opportunity or a local one? (Global opportunity is good)- Does it have a phone number AND a real mail address? (Yes is good)- Do you get responses from the representatives of that opportunity fast? (Yes is good)- Does it provide you with marketing training courses? (Yes is good)- Have many ordinary people been successful with that opportunity? (Yes is good)

2. Registering a domain:

To start an online home based business, you have to own a domain name. It just takes you five minutes to register one. However, there are some points you have to keep in mind in choosing a domain.

Firstly, the domain name should include the main keyword related to the theme of your website. For example, if your site is about the shoe for golfers, the domain name should include keyword 'shoe' or 'golfer' or both.

Secondly, it has to be short, easy to remember and easy to type in the address bar.

Lastly, it should not contain hyphen because a domain name filled with hyphens makes it look unprofessional.

3. Registering a hosting account:

A hosting account will directly determine your site is down or up. So, you have got to carefully choose a web host company to go with. Below are some things you should bear in mind when choosing a web hosting company.

Firstly, choose a web host which is fast and reliable. To do so, you should check to see if they have a track record of high uptime rate. This rate should be 98% or higher.

Besides, a web host also needs to load quickly because if it is not, you will be lost a lot of visitors. Visitors nowadays are in hurry. They just give you several seconds to show them your website so the faster your website loads, the more potential customers you get.

Secondly, choose a web host having a good customer support. You never know what will happen in coming days. Therefore you have to make sure that you will get help right away in case of emergency. Hint: Send them an email to know how long they write back. 

Lastly, choose a web host which gives you an option to upgrade in case of need. You may need more disk space and bandwidth as your site develops, so you need to ask them to see that you will be able to upgrade or not. Starting an online home based business will give you the control of both your work and your life in general. No other things in life can give you the wonderful feeling of freedom as an internet home based business opportunity does. So, if you feel that it is the right time for you to start one, just go for it. The time is very valuable so you should not spend it doing the things not helping your dream come truth.
