Unlimited File Backup/Restoration now at ArisHost
In addition to its free tape backup system, ArisHost now offers its registrants a new backup and restoration service feature. For only $2 per month, ArisHost clients can restore lost or altered files with a click of a mouse. The new feature allows clients to choose a backup point from 1 hour to 4 weeks prior to restoration. They can also use it as often as they want - that's limitless and instant backup!
"We always try to think in terms of what our customers need and could probably want..." according to an ArisHost Official, "... for better service and complete Internet Solutions."
To get the Unlimited Backup/Restoration feature, new signups and existing ArisHost clients just need to select the service from either the signup page or their control panel.
*The ArisHost ISP Reseller program is now available to ArisHost registrants. Get ISP services and resell at your own rates! Details are at the ISP Reseller page.

Marketing your Site (a series)
III. "Who goes there?": Knowing your Customers
A recent poll from Purdue University shows that more people now prefer to use the Internet to learn about or get products and services. Out of roughly 2,000 respondents, a third (34%) goes online for product research and 56% say they go to the Net to buy. Which brings us to the point-- the Internet is now the most valuable marketing resource.
No question about it, consumers will visit your site and check out your wares. Now, how do you make them stay and keep coming back? Two words: Customer Relations. But don't be scared, at its very root, customer relations is just the practice of knowing your customers. And the whole process revolves around just one basic principle - becoming a customer yourself.
Here's what you do: go to your site and give yourself a task, say, finding out about a product. Take careful note of your experience. Do you have a hard time getting information? Is the information you get what you want? How long does it take? What's important here is that you evaluate the customer experience and get data on how to improve it.
Another good habit to pick up is communicating first hand with your clients. Always find time for this, it just means good business. Check your customer database, grab a couple of e-mail addresses and start writing. Ask them about your products, services, etc. Go out of your way to learn about their needs and wants. Even the most complex statistical equations and complicated analysis tools can't give you this kind of information.
