i know where to buy hosting, domain, but for clickbank vendors,
just to meet the clickbank requirements, which is two pages, a pitch page and a thank you page, i really curious about where do most vendors buy their hosting and domain?

now i use godaddy quick shopping cart, so i cannot add pages to it. i guess i have to buy another hosting and another domain.

where did you (clickbank vendors) guys buy your hosting and domain?

    There is no special hosting for "clickbank vendors", as far as I know.

    Just buy a normal hosting (NOT godaddy!!!) and set up your site. Hopefully, your business will grow, so think ahead and buy a hosting package that is either easy to upgrade or it already has the possibility to host multiple domains.

    You might want to research how the various web hosting companies respond to spikes in traffic. With a clickbank product you will experience such spikes when affiliates send out a link to their lists. I have read of some hosting companies who don't deal too well with such spikes in traffic..

      hostgator or bluehost seem to be used by a lot of affiliates. If you keep getting a lot of traffic get a virtual or dedicated so you can control the resources more.

        None of the usual - shared - hosting packages are able to cope with a HUGE spike. However, at the beginning you would be OK with it... and by the time you will have millions of visitors, hopefully, you'll be able to pay for a dedicated server

    I use hostgator and hostmonster. You want a host that allows you "unlimited" domains per hosting package, which those do, (although hostmonster limits you to 100 databases). Then you can host all your sites with the same host for one monthly low fee. Domains, I buy at Namecheap but you can buy them anywhere you want to. Normally, it's not a good idea to buy your domains the same place you host. Keep them separate.

      I don't think there's anything 'special' for them. Normal hosting, I think. Hostgator et al.

      I've used Hostgator, WiredTree, LiquidWeb and a whole lot of other hosts. LiquidWeb is the best for VPS, Hostgator for their support and overall.

    ok, but now i am not sure if i should start my clickbank vendors' life yet or not. cause my website funlearningchineselanguage.com has not sold out any CDs yet. although i joined shareasale and got a lot of affiliates, and the ranking on google is good with the keyword "kids learn Chinese audiobook" , i feel so bad and discouraged and guilty that my husband pays the babysitter watching our son while i am trying to sell our CDs online(we have 2000 CDs at home) and made so sales at all everyday. then i saw clickbank, i was wondering if i can sell the audio files of our CDs, but even if i sell good on clicbank, the 2000 CDs at home still will be at home. we have invested so much time and money from last year till now. even if i sold out all cds from my house, i dont think that can gain profit, i can only say they can make up some money we spent. yup, we sold some on amazon, but it is not our CDs, the createspace produced them on demand and sold them and took a big part of the money. i tried to sell on ebay, we got no good luck and sold it with an unreasonably low bidding price. anyone here is kind enough to suggest anything to me? i built a blog on blogger and wordpress too, then i dont know what to do now.

      A recent trend I've experienced is vendors who market down-loadable software for price $XXX, then for additional $X will ship the CD. Many people like the ability to have an immediate download and then receive the CD in the mail for backup if nothing else.

      This would allow you to get quick sales, plus slowly recover the cost of those 2,000 CDs.

        Ok,

        I have some recommendations for you. Feel free to take or leave it.

        Looking at your site, possibly consider using a larger sized lettering, and fixing some of the copy.

        Consider adding a blog, and you could definitely work first to really drive some traffic to the site.

        I took a quick peek at your backlinks - which tells me no one is linking to you or pointing to you as the solution to their problem.

        Your ranking can be good - but what is more important is the actual traffic finding your site.

        Do you know how many visitors a day find your site? Do you have google analytics or some tracking installed?

        If only one or two people a day are being directed to your site, that is not a whole lot and it will be really hard to determine why the product is not selling.

        Right now I'm guessing the only way to find your site is if I google "kids learn Chinese audiobook" - but you know what? I don't see your site on the front of the google search even for those terms. I live East Coast USA (this search result will change sometimes based on location).

        Anyway, I have a feeling you are not selling because no one can find your site or know you exist yet.

          thanks for searching it online for me. thanks for every advice, i will improve it.

    I would go for either Hostgator or Bluehost which has been my Service provider for 3 years now. I have over 63 websites on one account of different wordpress blogs and sites, and some of them are CPAnetwork Movie and tv sites, Membership Games sites such as Modern warfare 2 fanpage site and facebook games such as farmville and mafia wars, and Clickbank vendor products i have of my own also. There has been no problems with spikes
