Get Hosting at FullSail Systems
Let us help you identify what you need

Getting Started

 

As a start-up, we know that the beginning can be hard.
Therefore we try to help you with the following section. We will provide you with a step-by-step guide to better understand your own needs and what this means in terms of hosting services.

You’ll be surprised how easy it could be.
Let’s start with an overview of our step-by-step process:

Process Overview

Finding the right product is as important as choosing the proper technology and platforms.

We are your biggest fans and we believe that technology in itself cannot guarantee your success. Our technology delivers hosting performance to match your digital strategy.

 

 

Step 1: What Intent do you have?

We know that your web application is unique so try your best to group yourself with INTENT

In this first step, it has been shown in SEO research that conversation success of a web presence is related to “search query intent” (or intent). Your intent can play a major role in selecting the right technology for your success. The questions throughout this process have been designed as a guide, helping you define your objectives, technologies, and platforms.

Therefore, we encourage you to ask yourself the question:
How would a client search for my web presence?

Try not to fall into the trap of asking the questions: “What do I want to achieve?” or even more importantly “What keyword search will help me rank?”

With this in mind, please try to group yourself into the following four categories below:

Informational

Description:

People entering informational queries seek to learn information about a subject, topic or person. These are the most common types of searches and typically have the largest search volumes.


Informational
Web Presence Example:

Blogs
Wikis
Static web pages


Real-life examples:

Wikipedia
Google

Navigational

Description:

Searchers with navigational intent already know which company, brand or product they are looking for, but they need help with navigation to their desired page or website. These searches often involve queries that feature brand names or specific products or services.


Navigational
Web Presence Example:

Company (BIZ)
Personal / Private
Professional Services


Real-life examples:

Siemens
INTEL

Commercial

Description:

Commercial queries exist as a sort of hybrid intent — a mix of informational and transactional. These searches have transactional intent. The searcher is looking to make a purchase, but they are also looking for informational pages to help them make their decision.


Commercial
Web Presence Example:

Brick&Mortar w/ eCommerce
Wholesale w/ eCommerce
B2B / B2C
Professional Services w/ eCommerce


Real-life examples:

HomeDepot
AT&T

Transactional

Description:

Transactional queries have the most commercial intent as these are searchers looking to make a purchase. Common words associated with transactional searches include [price] or [sale].


Transactional
Web Presence Example:

Online eCommerce


Real-life examples:

Amazon
Netflix

Step 2: What web technologies do I need?

Think of web technology which supports your intent

As stated before: Your technology should follow the purpose. Once the intent is established it would be time to compare it to the most suitable web technologies. We know that there are many web technologies available so if the technology you are using is not listed try to find the closest match.

Below you will find our most commonly supported web technologies. Please keep in mind that we do have some limitations and you can find this list at the bottom.

Step 4: What kind of resources needs do I have based on usage?

Estimate resource requirements

Last but not least please estimate your resource requirements for your specific web presence.

Ask these questions to determine your usage requirements:
  • How many visitors do you expect on average per day?
  • How many pages do these visitors visit per visit?
  • What is my average page size in kilobytes (kB)?
  • How large is my current hosting storage arrangement?
  • How is my web application structured? Will or do I have subsets to my web application?

These questions and answers will drive the decision of which package best suits your web application. Please check out our technical Resource Center - Topic bandwidth calculator to help plan resource usage to fulfill traffic demands of your web application.
