Summary:
Running an online business can be complicated and time-consuming. You typically need to get web space and a URL, design your site, secure a product, market your website and products, return emails on questions, send customers newsletters, send out more emails thanking people for their orders, check your return on investment, etc.
Most web hosting services offer limited services, and many assume that you've been through the process of putting together and running a site before and that you have a good bit of technical know-how.
ThirdSphereHosting assumes that you know very little about web hosting and that you'd like the whole process of running an online business to be as simple as possible. With that in mind, they pull together all kinds of website-related services that you would normally pay extra for to make your web business successful and include them all with your web hosting package.
The Service:
A website hosting service.
Pros:
Reliable web host with little "down time".
An integrated package of tools, including webspace, website design, automation, marketing, scripts, etc. Helps you avoid problems associated with incompatible software.
Offers plenty of tools to help you build and run your site.
Allows you to fully automate your site so you don't have to spend your time on mundane tasks. This is very important because it greatly reduces the time you have to spend to make a sale, thus vastly increasing the amount of money you can make.
Helps you set up an affiliate program, so you can multiply your sales by letting other people sell your stuff for you!
Easy to use. No advanced technical skills (programming, HTML, etc.) required.
Affordable for all of the features it gives you ($24.95/month on the day I wrote this review).
Cons:
This may be more than you need. If all you need is a little bit of webspace, why pay for the rest of this stuff?
If you are already used to doing things the "old-fashioned" way, you might not want to bother converting to ThirdSphereHosting's integrated approach.
It's not the cheapest way to start a website.
