Unique Personalised Gifts
Its never easy trying to find a special gift for a loved one. Shops are full of so many choices to be made, and yet finding a truly unique personalised gift takes time to find, especially if you want to be a little different from the norm.
Personalised gift idea
Giving a gift that comes truly just from you makes a gift really special. Remember when your child or friend gave you that first picture or gift created especially for you, you remember that forever. Here in our Small Business Shop we have some very unique gift ideas, custom made for that someone very special in your life.
Personalised DVD or CD Covers
Most of us these days have a digital camera, or use our mobile to capture those special moments in our lives, of family, friends and get-togethers. We often end up collecting and storeing these captured moments and so often that is the end of that. Why not use these photos to create a special gift for that special occassion?
Collect and assemble some of those special photos on a CVD or DVD and we will create a unique personalised cover for you to give as gift to that special person in your life.
Just tell us what you would like to see on the cover and we will send you the printer ready cover to print and use. A very special gift that will be treasured forever.

Branding your Business online
The next step to Branding your Business online after purchasing and registering your domain is purchasing a hosting package to suit your business needs. Hosting is the step between your business and publishing it to the worldwide web. Offline a business takes its marketing materials to a publisher to be published and then distributed, online its to a hosting provider where your marketing material is made public online.
Hosting
There are any companies online that offer hosting packages, with varying features and prices. Most anyone can afford to buy basic hosting pack as prices have fallen over the past few years. However, one should not only be dictated by the price alone but also by the services that the hosting company provides.
Best Affordable Hosting
Identifying your business needs goes a long way to selecting the hosting package that will suit your budget and your specifications. At Small Business Consulting we can help you assess your hosting needs and suggest the best possible solution, however simple or complex it may be. If you are an internet marketer your needs will go way beyond a simple fun site that often you can get for free.
Hosting Features
Here are some hosting features in order of priority that I consider to be of paramount importance when considering and selecting a web hosting provider. As a user of various hosting companies I realise these to be important:
Customer Support
I remember when I first started how important this service was: good, reliable customer support, providing technical assistance and solutions as and when needed. Even today when something goes amiss it is important to have assistance from customer support.
Backups
It is important to know that the hosting provider can provide backup and has a regular backup routine in place. This however should not stop you from setting up your own backup and maintenance routine.
Web Space
Your account will require a certain amount of web space, and as you grow you need reassurance that you can also expand according to your needs.
Reliability and Access
No hosting company can really guarantee 100% uptime, those really unforeseen downtime’s do happen as well occasional short downtime for major maintenance. A good hosting company will deal with emergencies immediately and there should be very little disruption to the running of your online business. Speedy access to a website is also an important feature to considered in order that visitors are not lost by slow working websites.
At ChiHosters we provide an excellent service with hosting plans starting at:
* No Limit Shared Hosting: U$35 per year.
*Semiomantics Pro Hosting for Advanced Semiomantics Publishing: U$ 29.95 per month
* Hosting Reseller Plan (WHM): U$99.99 per month
* VSM 20GB Allocated Virtual Managed Server: U$150.00 per month
Sell WHM Reseller Packs
•Increased configuration and flexibility
•Increased uptime and security
•Full Root access
•100% Management and Monitoring – This means we worry about your server, and you worry about your sales!
•The ability to sell reseller accounts
•Based on a Dual AMD Opteron 275, 8GB ram and 20GB HD space dedicated to you.
Other options are also available on demand. Discussing your specific needs with a Consultant or hosting providing can result in a unique and satisfactory hosting solution designed especially for you.
