Picking The Right Internet Providers For Your Business

By Carol Dominguez


The dream for many today is to open a small business, be their own boss and have total control over their future. This is a dream that more and more people are realizing and having success with thanks to the internet and social networking. If you don't think internet providers play a role in this too, think again!

If you are on a very tight budget starting up your business, you may assume you need to use dial up or a no name DSL provider. This is not true. Searching for DSL providers by zip code will allow you to compare speeds and packages available in your area.

You may be quite surprised to discover that DSL providers like Verizon and Att may be even less expensive than a company you were going to use that no one has ever heard of. Doesn't it make sense to put your business in the hands of an established provider?

The type of your small business will play a role in how important the internet is to you. You might use it to send and receive shipments, keep employee or delivery schedules or promote your business online with social media sites or your own web presence.

An unreliable connection can result in you losing money. One application where this can occur is if you give customers the option to chat with you if they need assistance, and they are disconnected before you can give them an answer. However, this may not occur with an internet type like cable.

While DSL may be quite practical for some small businesses and certainly the most affordable option, it may not be the best choice for a business that relies on online connection to thrive. You may expect cable internet to be out of your price range but that may not necessarily be true.

Shopping for cable internet providers by zip code means that you can more easily compare their services. These days, most ISPs offer bundling options which allow you to have phone and internet service under one company in addition to TV. So a business that needs all three can save money by going for this option.

Even if you don't run your business online, you will need the internet if you want to market it, simply because internet advertising is cheaper than more traditional types like newspapers.
