Just Other Articles - Internet and Businesses Online

So.... You want to be on the internet.... You've got your website sorted out, you've done all the finances, and now you want a GOOD webhost....

The trouble is... do a search under google for web hosting -

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

you get 217,000,000 results - how on earth are you supposed to find a good one?

The sad truth is that not all of the hosting companies (including some pretty well known ones) will live up to that promise.

; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug.

Examples of combination products may in

You may find your website down about 5% of the time (and that's a looooonnnnnnng time if your only business is on the internet) - that's about 1 hour 15 minutes per day, or you may just get kicked off for n

lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

o good reason.

The first thing I got "sucked" in about when first signing up to a hosting company was finding the biggest deals - The ones with the biggest bandwidth (and I'll be honest - I didn't even kno

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

w what bandwidth was - but hey - as long as it was the biggest that was OK), the ones that offered you the biggest storage capacity, the most emails, the most MySQL databases, the most domains, the most sub

d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

Combination pro

-domains etc.... and of course - for the LOWEST price!

The 5 big reasons you choose a webhost are:

1) BANDWIDTH - Unless you are bigger than the beatles you are not going to need that much bandwidth - 2GB

ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc

should well and truly suffice. Don't look for the biggest bandwidth!

2) STORAGE CAPACITY - Try and go for a big storage capacity - if you are running a large shop with loads of photos you'll need a big s

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

torage (but having looked at a lot of medium sized shops, they get away with 100MB no problems - small shops (20-50 items) can get away with 30-50MB. Do look for a big storage capacity - but you will proba

nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

bly need no than 200MB.

One thing to note is that a lot of the hosting companies use the space/bandwidth that you don't use - so they might allocate 100MB to you - you use 10MB and they use the other 90MB.

and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ

There is nothing wrong with this - but hopefully the other 90 will be available when you grow!.

I have heard (whether this is true or not), that some of the companies kick you off if you get near to your

ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi

limit as well (e.g. if they promise you 700MB and you use 600MB), because they were only planning for you to use 100MB - and they'll send you an email saying your bandwidth is chewing up their resources - b

ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it.

Following aspects would a

ut whether that's true or not.... (best to stick with the main players).

3) EMAILS - who on earth needs unlimited emails??? I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the 1000 emails I've got with my p

dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod

lan - I have been contemplating putting my enemies names to them (you know john.doe@grizzlynut.co.nz) and then sending awful emails to other people I don't like, but other than that.... (ok - kidding about

cts are meaningful and rational?
Which therapeutic categories to select?
Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
Do combin

that! (kind of)).

4) MYSQL dATABASES - alright - this one is fun - if you have more than 1 MySQL database you can muck around and put all sorts of forms/chat rooms/shopping carts and more on your website -

tions increase the patient compliance?
What would be the developing cost?
How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen

but realistically - most of the time you'll need 1 (depending on the type of business you are running) - if you have a shopping cart - go for 1 (any more is a bonus) - if you have a portal (directory / cha

t?

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

t etc..) - go for more than 1.

5) SERVER UPTIME - This is the most important thing you need to look for in a web host. Like I said before, if you are down for even 5% of the time that is 1.5 hours - and w

ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust

ith the internet up 24 hours a day, you will soon end up looking like a turkey.

Remember - if you don't look professional - customers will walk and find a good competitor. You need to find someone that is

y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products

up at least 99% of the time (if not 99.5% of the time), and will guarantee that. If they can't guarantee it, it means they don't have backup servers in place - and that is a no-no.

If they guarantee 100%

.

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

uptime they are liars (who can guarantee that? It's like promising you will win lotto) - Stay away from those players!

So, to conclude.... don't look for those that have the biggest deals, for the smalle

elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

Companies that provide selfless information through particip

st prices - look for those that have good prices, good storage capacity and most importantly guarantee very good server uptime.

Regularly, I purchase about 18 ounces of a decent French Roast coffee at a specialty retailer for about $11. By comparison, 12 ounces of French Roast at Starbucks or Peet’s will set me back approximately the amount, so they’re 50% more costly, right? That’s how it appears, but I’ve been doing informal measurements and I can tell you they seem to cost exactly the same amount, given the actual quantity of drinkable brew that they yield, says Dr. Gary S. Goodman, President of Customersatisfaction.com, top speaker, seminar producer, and Fortune 1000 consultant.

Perhaps you have not considered the wealth of information that is available on your competitors. Public companies are required by law to give away all their financial information and most all of this is available on the Internet for free. This information is there for investors to know exactly what the company is doing so they can make a good informed decision of whether or not to buy their stock.

If you are thinking about adding pay-per-click to your SEO strategy, make sure you follow these simple guidelines to avoid lost revenue as a result of poor planning, and get the most for your advertising dollars.
