Profession as a webmaster

There are so many professions out there in the world, why choose to be a webmaster? With the internet, evolving and with so many companies trying to venture online, webmasters are highly soughted or will be in future. The reason why i chose to be a webmaster is because i think that’s the only thing that i am skilled in. I am not good in maths, not good in history, not good in languages, neither am i good with science but starting a website is the only thing that i feel i am good in, thus i decided on this profession 3 years back.

Competitors

With the internet and world wide web growing at such an immensive speed, many people are working towards “online”. There are hell lot of IT web professionals now as compared to in the past and this is no good, because it means more competition. So the only way to differentiate with others is the ability to upgrade yourself and be better. In this industry, there’s nothing such as the best or number 1. You could be the leading party at one time, but not forever.

What a webmaster must also know?

As defined, a webmaster is someone who manages or maintains a website, that includes updating content stuffs like that. However, in order to build up your value as a webmaster, there are certain things that you need to know too. Web programming and designing is what i feel a webmaster should also know. In many scenario, a web developer / designer is also considered to as a webmaster. Despite on just having technical skills, you also need to know web marketing such as promoting your website etc. Search engine optimization skills and link development skills are also a bonus.

Job scope V.S Salary

Getting monthly for just updating or maintaining website. Compared to the amount of effort put in, i think it’s far more than reasonable. Please note that this is just my perspective as a self employed webmaster. I do not have any working experience out there in the industry as a webmaster, so i don’t really know how much work a webmaster have to do in a company. So, if there’s any coporate webmasters out there, feel free to update us.

Web Hosting Reviews

Everyday, millions of websites are being developed and due to such big demands, alot of web hosting companies are competing with each other in a price war. You just registered your domain and wanted to find a good web host, but you do not have any idea which to choose?

MyBestRatedWebHosting.com is a blog that provides reliable web hosting reviews, which help users to decide in their web hosting providers. You can see BlueHost review, LunarPages review, and many others established web hosting companies’ review.  Just by dropping over to that blog, there’s a Top 10 web hosting providers list and the best hosting company of the month. As for how the rating system works, certain factors such as reliability, the price, use of control panels, customers support quality are considered and a overall score will be estimated based on it. Instead of just having the web hosting consultant to give reviews, you could also see reviews from existing users. Vice versa, as a existing user, you can leave comments to recommend your favorite webhosting as well.

One thing i like about this web hosting review blog is that, instead of just giving reviews, it contains quite a few very informative articles like “the type of web hosting that is best for you”. They teach you the differences between sharing hosting, VPS, dedicated server and reseller, what are the advantages or disadvantages of each individual package, what to check on the uptime of your hosting provider etc.

Also, there’s an article with a comparison chart of the plans of different web hosting company and the chart seems to be quite updated (Last update is at 06 July 08). The article that gets my most attention is the “Web hosting cheat sheet” It gives you the recommendations of the ideal hosting solution for different type of website you developed. Example, if i were to host a blog or forum, who should i choose, stuffs like that.

After all, this is quite a good blog, if you want to find out more about which hosting is ideal for you or you want to learn stuffs regarding webhosting (like what is a reseller), Check it out!
