I’m searching for a hosted mail/site and contnet management solution for a small business.
They currently have an email and web space account on a shared domain.
Now they’re ready to get their own domain name and add something to self-manage the content.

They currently use NetIdentity but have found them nearly impossible to reach to answer questions. Does anyone know of any competitive services offering these features?

- Hosted web mail account (can be forwarded) no IMAP pr POP3 access needed

- Own domain name
- Web space

- An easy online content manager (WYSIWYG preferred)

- Reasonably priced

- Customer service that answers in a timely manner

Thanks
Thanks but can you give me some keyword combinations to google with to find these types of hosts with deeper levels of service?
I’m really looking for more than a domain host. I’m looking for a real small business host/content solution. I’m not sure I’m using the right terms. My results appear to be too broad. Loaded software (Dreamweaver) is not an option ($800+ a learning curve and cannot make changes on the road.)

It has only been recently that the larger credit card companies began aggressively marketing small business credit cards. If you are a new entrepreneur and have decided it’s time to get a small business credit card, you are in luck!

Most new businesses are sole proprietorships and credit is an important part of growing your business. The credit card issuers look at your personal credit history to see how you’ve managed your personal debt. A good personal credit report can prove that you take your obligations seriously.

As with any credit decision, you need to review what your requirements are before you apply for a small business credit card. The financial institutions are offering numerous incentives for your loyalty such as rewards, cash back, airline miles, high credit limit, and an option to pay over time or in full.

A small business credit card can assist with your cash flow. If you purchase supplies to do a job and bill the client upon completion, a small business credit card allows you that needed extension of time. You should keep this in mind and perhaps apply for a higher limit credit card. Consider the invoicing cycle. If you think it may run over thirty days, you would want to apply for a card that offers the option to pay over time. Look at a lower interest rate small business credit card.

If you have been in business for at least two years and just want to add to your cash flow. The Small Business Capital Line offered by American Express may be what your looking for. This offer includes an unsecured line of credit with a minimum of $10,000. Their easy application process doesn’t require any supporting forms for most applications and gives you 100% access to your cash. This offer includes a competitive APR.

If your new commercial endeavor includes travel, a small business credit card with rewards that offers savings for airline miles, hotel and car rental would be ideal. An added advantage is you can keep track, remotely, of an employee‘s expenses through online viewing of your account. This is a big plus when on a tight budget!

The SkyPoints Business Credit Card from Delta and American Express, lets you earn double SkyPoints for everyday purchases and Delta purchases too. You can receive up to 75% discount on airfare when you redeem your SkyPoints. There is a small yearly fee for this program, but the first year fee is waived, offering an immediate savings of $49.

Credit card companies have formed alliances with a number of retailers, both online and off line. Some rewards perks are discounts when using your small business credit card at specified locations.

The Chase Platinum Business Card offers additional savings through their Visa Business partner Advantage. Receive savings of up to 20% from leading retailers with special offers on computer equipment, office supplies, and many other items.

Choosing a small business credit card is made easier by the internet where you can compare offers side by side. Each of the small business credit card programs offer extra value. It’s your choice which program fits with your financial needs.

The potential benefits and advantages of using credit cards for any small business are too significant and probably too numerous to be easily ignored.

Business credit cards are in fact an excellent tool for managing small business expenses. At first this may seem to be a strange statement in view of the well known fact that it is much easier for spending to spiral out of control when using plastic than when somebody is paying hard cash. Indeed this is one of the key factors in human nature that has helped make the credit card business so successful and prosperous. However the truth of the matter is that impulse spending or reckless expenditure is usually very unlikely in business spending. If anything most small businesses have to count their pennies carefully to survive. So the downside of plastic money or credit cards does not come in play at all.

Purchases Are A Critical Area For Small Business – Credit Cards Can Help

Spending and purchasing is an important part of any business big or small. In fact expenditure and purchases usually have such a major impact on the bottom line that the general financial performance of a business depends on it being run properly. To start with timely information is so important that it has often meant the death or survival of many a small business. It is often important to know where the money is going so that problems can be detected early and action and decisions taken in a timely fashion to avert more serious financial problems for a small business.

This is exactly where one of the key advantages of credit cards for small businesses comes into play. The magic here is in the expense reporting that comes in the form of detailed and itemized monthly statements. Analysis is further made even easier with the inclusion of category breakdowns.

So, if for instance expenses are running overboard in a certain area and which will definitely have an impact on profits, then it can be seen early and dealt with. Quite often runaway costs or expenditure are the symptom and not the disease, so the small business manager gets a chance to identify the “disease” early and deal with it accordingly.

Business Credit Card Reporting System Ideal For Small Business Owner

Anybody with some small business experience will deeply appreciate this advantage because the reality on the ground is that the principal decision maker or decision makers in a small business will usually tend to be very busy and involved in dozens of different critical activities in the business that identifying potential problems is never an easy thing. But with business credit cards and their detailed reporting system through statements, the ball game changes dramatically to the advantage of the small business owner.

What makes things even easier and more convenient is the fact that most business credit card issuers provide statements that are available online and can be downloaded and merged with some popular small business accounting software. This saves on valuable time for the often-understaffed small business operation. In fact with this online option, daily monitoring is made possible.

The result of all this is that just by obtaining a business credit card, a small business turns its’ accounts department into a paperless but extremely efficient reporting unit that is actually run by somebody else who end up footing most of the overhead costs that go with it.

When you add other advantages that go with business credit cards like cash back rewards and frequent flyer airline miles, then the importance of every small business using business credit cards becomes obvious.

An obstacle many small businesses face is losing money and productivity because of poor organization. Business disorganization comes in many different forms, but each has the same result, lost time and money. One major problem with organization in small businesses comes from project delivery and filing. This is especially true of service-based businesses. Most businesses specialize in one or two services with little differences between projects. However, even though many of the procedures for completing a project are the same regardless of the project, businesses fail to find a way of streamlining those procedures.

 

Examples are usually the easiest way of learning a new concept. Let us consider a small business that sells lamps. This particular business receives orders from all over the country. Each time this business receives an order, they must create an invoice and file an order sheet for their records. These records require that the name, address, and other information be entered. What this business fails to realize is that this process can be greatly simplified with a little database know-how and some basic programming.

 

There are a few things to consider before getting started on this process. First, are there repeat customers or are most purchases from new customers? Let us assume for a moment that most purchases are from repeat customers. In this case, a form could be set up in the database to automatically fill out all the billing and shipping information when the buyer’s name is entered. Suppose, however, that most of the customers are new. In this case it would be impractical to have the database try to fill in the information based on the person’s name. In this case, have the state and zip code information automatically filled in upon entering the city would be of great use.

 

Since more than one form must be filled out in either customer’s case, it would be of great help for the database to automatically fill in the information from one form into all necessary, subsequent forms. This would require the employee to fill out only one form instead of multiple forms with the same information, allowing the employee to get back to other important duties.

 

These simple tricks can help a business to save valuable time and money. When running a small business, every hour and every dollar matters, so it pays to make your business more efficient.

I was wondering if subscriptions to investment newsletters can be deducted while filing taxes. Normally – these need to go over a 2% of AGI cap for them to be deductible. However – if these can be considered a business expense – then it might be deductible – right?
