There are many reasons to host a website at 1USA.
Some reasons are:
Category: Website Design:
- We help the web designers do a better job. 1USA has the most experience of any Web Host because we've been doing
it since 1995 when President Clinton declared the Internet to be 'free' for public use. No other ISP or Web Hosting
company can make that claim.
Category: Website Design:
- Many "designers" can do the graphics but have troubles with the underlying programming code.
Here at 1USA, we code the raw code using Notepad and other tools. We know the html language inside and out. Again,
more than any other source. This talent provides you, the website owner, with a crew of talented Server Tekkies
to assist your chosen Graphic Desigers in developing your website.
Category: Website Design:
- We know the differences between Microsoft's Front Page, DreamWeaver, VisualPage and other such design programs
- and how well they build websites, or sometimes "not do it correctly" -- in a manner that the Search
Engines would hiccup when trying to spider your website.
We don't care which program you choose to design your website, the end result must be "search engine friendly"
for best results.
Category: Website Design:
- We know the differences between hosting on Unix servers, Linux servers, BSD servers, Windows servers; and what
can and cannot be done under each platform.
Category: Website Design:
- We know how to do CGI. While a regular html page delivers static information, CGI can deliver interactive, constantly
updated pages such as Forms for customers to enter their information, calendars, Classifieds websites, Today's
News, and a very long list of interactive capabilities.
Many times a Web Designer will have us write the interactive web pages on their behalf.
Category: Website Design:
- If you want to edit your website yourself, we can map your domain name to our www.1usa.Biz servers. 1USA.Biz
is made for people who want to do it all themselves.
Category: Website Design: Tech Support:
- Some people choose to host their website with other Hosts. They rarely (if ever) get the Hosting company on the
phone. Those poor people are "on their own". If they don't understand something, the job goes unfinished.
It's hard for them to communicate with their Web Hosting company... few even answer their emails!
Here at 1USA you can get us on the phone - from 8 AM until Midnight, 7 days a week. We believe in Quality of Service.
You are able to fine-tune your website when it is hosted here at 1USA.
Additional benefits that other Web Hosts cannot do for you:
Category: Page Construction: Analysis & Optimization:
- We make sure that each web page contains Meta-Tags for Keywords and Description, which helps the search engines
index your pages better.
Each page is important because FEW people will enter your website using the Home Page. They will usually type in
a keyword in a search engine, which links to ONE or TWO of your pages. It is therefore IMPORTANT to have your Company
name and your Menu appear on all pages. We suggest that you NOT design your website using "frames".
Category: Page Construction:
- 1USA can check the syntax of your pages - to make sure that what the search engine sees is legitimate and not
discarded.
Checking the syntax of the html coding is important, but FEW people do this. There is NO other Web Host that does
this for its customers.
Category: Page Construction:
- 1USA has a Link-Checker, which can check the links on your website. Are you linking to some other website that
is now dead or moved? Are visitors getting a "Page Not Found" error when they click on a link?
1USA helps you fix these links that go nowhere.
Category: Hosting
- If you later come up with a 2nd or a 3rd domain name, 1USA can map those domain names into your webspace. We
have a customer who maps 6 domain names into his website! This is another feature that other Web Hosts cannot do.
Category: Search Engines:
- Your website gets placed in the 1USA Search Engine. Yes, 1USA has its own search engine!
People everywhere use the 1USA Search Engine. It also appears automatically if someone mis-spells a page name.

Category: Search Engines:
- We register your domain name on Google and other top search engines. We do the "Top 10" once your website
is active. Some search engines will come "spider" your site within a few days, while others might take
a few months.
Notice: The word is Site, not Sight.
Category: Search Engines:
Advertising your Website:
- We list your Website on the www.1usa.com home page, and also on 50 other domains that we own. You immediately
have 50 links into your website from ours, and the Search Engines like Google will raise your grade accordingly.
Instead of being listed on page 3,000 of the Google search results, you might be listed on page 10 - depending
on the keyword that the person typed in.
See how this all fits together?
Category: Advertising your Website:
- If your service area is in one or more of our Hosted Domains, we provide you with a nice Advertisement on that
website.
If your market area includes Hamburg PA, we create an Ad to appear on http://hamburgpa.net
If your market area includes the Lehigh Valley, we include the Ad on http://LehighValleyPA.Com
1USA owns more than 50 such domains that we use for Marketing purposes - to help you get more hits on your website!!!
Category: Advertising your Website:
- If you design a nice Banner Ad that is 255 pixels wide by 55 pixels high, you can get into our Rotating Banner
Ad program.
The rotating banner ads appear on ALL public pages on www.1usa.com and other domains that we own.
This itself is worth $25 per month.
Category: Advertising your Website:
- If you want to generate some interest in your website, mail us a stack of $25-$50 Gift Certificates and we'll
include them in our Prize Giveaways.
This is a good tax writeoff.
Category: Advertising your Website:
- If you want, you can include a FREE Ad in our Classifieds, but it needs to mention a particular product or service,
and should run no longer than 12 weeks per ad. http://www.1usa.com/classifieds/ has more info.
Category: Email addresses:
Most web hosts will provide you with YourCompany.Com email accounts - but those email addresses only FORWARD emails
to your regular email account. When you answer an inquiry, it's a slap in the face to answer them with an AOL email
address, don't you think.
Wouldn't it be more professional to have your emails go out to your customers using your @Company.Com address?
Here at 1USA we do things the Professional way. However, the anti-virus publishers charge us $125 per year per
domain name in order to get that capability. Consequently there is a $125 setup charge, plus $3 per month per email
address.
Also, Other web hosts might charge a higher price for a larger mailbox, but 1USA doesn't. On 1USA, there is NO
LIMIT on your mailbox size. There is, however a limit of 30 Megabytes PER EMAIL. If you need to receive a file
that is larger than 30 MB, contact us and we'll teach the sender how to do that.
Category: Email addresses:
- No Advertising on your emails like AOL, MSN, Hotmail, and other services.
Category: Mailing Lists
1USA has the capability where you manage your own Mailing Lists. Just make sure that the recipients know who you
are and don't cry Spammer!
Email abuse is cause to shut down the offending account.
http://home.1usa.com/mailinglists.htm has more info.
Category: Financial
All expenses that you pay to 1USA are 100% tax-deductible as an Advertising Expense, so don't be afraid of any
costs. If you nickel & dime your website to death, it will probably go nowhere.
...which leads into...
Category: Website Promotions:
- 1USA can syndicate content from your website. If a story is written correctly, it can be promoted in 300 newspapers
and on 3,000 other websites.
Category: Website Promotions:
- 1USA can guide your advertising effort and provide advice on those Pay-Per-Click advertisers, Premium placement
on Google and other search engines, and can advise you on other types of advertising as well. Have your Advertising
Agency contact us for details.
Yes, 1USA is this good... because we know our stuff... which gives US a competitive
advantage.... which in turn gives YOU an advantage over your competitors.
People who host their websites at another WebHost and don't get these features are at a disadvantage, don't you
think?
