Virtual Personal Networks

The Virtual Personal Network is the central core of everything... and because it's the central core there needs to be some functions involved that not all websites or web pages have.

• It needs to have the ability to connect with Social Networks
• It needs to be able to notify the Search Engines when new content is posted
• And this is the area where your prospects are able to enter into your Sales process.

Don't let the thought of hosting your own Virtual Personal Network (VPN) intimidate you, it's really very simple.  If you are going to use Wordpress there are many servers available where the blog can be installed at the click of a button.  For starters you need a basic Linux server at the lowest price point.

Personally, I recommend Hostgator. .. it's what I use.  They have many different hosting packages and for starting purposes their least expensive package (presently $4.95) works just fine; they have a 45 day "Money Back" guarantee.

Hostgator also have excellent support to help get your VPN up and running.  As you can see, getting a server is not expensive.  I always think of it as rent for the business I am building.  You can also purchase your domain name there.

If you've not yet chosen a business in which to get involved, then you may need to do some market research. And if you've chosen your business, but not yet decided upon you domain name, I've found Instant Domain Search very useful... and it's free to use.
