I’m going to outline the essentials for building a niche store with BANS.
- First off your going to need BANS (Build a Niche Store) It cost $97 to purchase, but i believe its worth every penny, i’ve made my money back + more.
- Secondly you are going to have to get a EPN account (Ebay Partner Network) This will allow you to track your earnings, and it the thing which pays you,not the BANS program its self. (We’re ebay affiliates, and BANS is the easy to use program. (Just to get that straightened out:)
- Next you need a Hosting account, if you already have one Great, if you don’t i recomend HostGator, alost all the BANS users are using this hosting provider, its the best hosting around for our BANS websites, especially if you are creating lots of them. This is there hosting stats broken down, 9i recomend you pick this hosting package over the others hostgator has to offer)
- 600 Gigs of Web Hosting Space: - Great for creating and storing lots of BANS websites
- 6,000 Gigabytes of Bandwidth - Great if you are getting alot of visitors to your many BANS websites
- Host UNLIMITED Websites - Exatly what it says, Unlimited!
- FREE Instant Setup
- 99.9% Uptime Guarantee
- 45 Day Money Back Guarantee
- CGI, PHP 5, RoR, Perl - We need PHP, Which is good, even though most hosting companies offer these
- MySQL, SSH, SSL, IMAP, POP - MySQL is a must, as we will be dealing with this type database
- FREE Site Builder -
- cPanel Hosting - Cpanel is what i use on my hosting, (which isn’t hostgator, but i plan on using it when my hosting runs out)
- 24/7/365 Upgraded Support - Support always a plus
- No Contracts or Hidden Fees
Brilliant
- Your also going to need a Domain name, so read my article here about picking the right domain name.
- I also suggest you download this blue print from mark’s website here i’ll try to cover most things in this blue print, with my own little extras
I think thats all your going to need for now.
