• What your specific niche/topic for your online business.

Make sure you consult with other people. Tell them you are starting an online business, and get feedback from others. Every opinion from other people especially experienced domainers are valuable to consider.

Before you register a domain name, here are some other things you need to know:

Choose dot com. Dot com name shows that you are serious with the business.
Choose the name that represents confidence, reliability, strength and trustworthiness.
Choose short domain name as possible.
Avoid choosing numbers in your domain name because it might be confusing.
Include one or two keywords in your domain name, and use broad keywords that cover a lot of territory so you can expand your business into new direction that you may not be aware right now.
Check your keyword popularity before you make a final decision. Using WordTracker or Overture will help you to find the good keywords. Use the keywords with the most searches.

Bandwidth (data transfer)
Bandwidth is the amount of bytes transferred from your site to visitors when they browse your site. Always look for details on how much traffic the package allows.

Disk space
Most sites need less than 10 MB of web space, so even if you are provided with a host that tempts you with 200 MB or 500 MB (or “unlimited space”), be aware that you are unlikely to use that space, so don’t let the 500 MB space be too big a factor in your consideration when comparing with other web hosts.

Technical support
The good technical support should be function 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (24/7). You will be surprised at how often things go wrong at the most inconvenient of times. Incidentally, just because a host advertises that it has 24/7 support does not necessarily mean that it really has that kind of support. Test them out by emailing at midnight and on Saturday nights, Sunday mornings, etc. Check out how long they take to respond. Besides speed of responses, see if they are technically competent. You wouldn’t want to sign up for a host that is run by a bunch of salesmen who only know how to sell and not fix problems.

Other services that are important to consider:

FTP, PHP, Perl CGI-BIN access, SSI, .htaccess, telnet, SSH, crontabs
SSL (secure server), MySQL, Shopping Cart
Email, Autoresponders, POP3, Mail Forwarding
Control Panel
Multiple Domain Hosting and Subdomains
Price
Other Features

I hope this information helps you to find the best web hosting for you and all Anne Ahira mania.

To become popular of an entire social community, you need to get into everything that matters to them, both individually and collectively. Your mastery of community must show your understanding about, not only their interests but also about the social media itself. This is not an easy task to do.

Many viral marketers have tried to use social media like Digg by creating and spreading relevant content through influencers, active social media with strong reputation and community commitment. If it is well done, the popularity will be achievable. Problem : The topic or interests are various. No matter how brilliant you are, you will only talk about interests of a segment, not the whole community. So how do you win the heart of all the community?

The answer is simple : You can tap the community brand and also the individual. In this case, the community brand is Digg and the individual is Diggers. This two labels are familiar to all users without exception. No topical barriers to overcome and each user is naturally interested in the content related to the community and the individual. This is the way you win their hearts or at the very least their attention or support.

Here is an interesting example, Kina Grannis and Gotta Digg: Viral Marketing Through Digg.com Kina Grannis is an American singer participating in Crash The Super Bowl, a contest to get an Interscope recording contract and a chance to air a 60 second music video during the Superbowl. She will get to the final round, based on the public vote. What Kina did was to write a song about Digg and perform it while recording it on a video, which was then submitted to Digg last night with the title Cute Girls Sing Awesome Song About Digg. As you can probably imagine, the song did incredibly well and got to the Digg frontpage in 1 hr and 12 minutes.

The video was located on her blog post, which includes a plea for votes from the digg users who visited her page to view the video, which you can see below:

And here is the lyrics of the song.

When Im feeling lazy, at school or when I work
I sneak to my computer, and then I like to shirk
I don’t go online shopping, I don’t email with my mom
I open up my browser, and go to digg-dot-com

Chorus:
Gotta digg, gotta digg, gotta digg
Gotta make this story big!
Did you hear that awful sound? Another servers down!

I always dig up Apple, and I bury Microsoft
But when I said I was a girl, all the diggers scoffed
And when I see those stories about Senator Ron Paul
I don’t even RTFA; I just digg them all!

(back to chorus)

The fanboys can be tiresome, they always are outspoken
And if you’re listening Kevin Rose, the comment systems broken!
I know digg isn’t perfect, but be thankful for what we’ve got
Its just like daddy always says: At least its not Slashdot!!!

(back to chorus)

The response was incredible. Everybody loved the song and marveled at how girls like Kina seemed to be a fan of Digg. Most of users thought Kina was cute girl with a great voice. The story was then picked up by Techcrunch and Techmeme, which probably helped the video to spread even further.

At the moment now, the video has over 70,000 views and is on the second page of Youtubes Most Viewed Today list. So, what do you think about this story? May be you can use it to spread your idea and get attention from social media communities in order to achieve popularity. I am Teddy Siswanto, student of Anne Ahira.
