The location of the website is the key to the personal website.

First of all, we can divide the purpose of the personal station into the following kinds:

1. No-purpose

See others have their own site, so follow the site, no purpose, no content, mostly for no purpose or simply to set up a BBS, the server is generally a virtual host, the life period is generally very short, 1 years after the expiration of the server was hung.

2, amuse oneself type

For the purpose of entertaining oneself, the pure display personal some life experience, the sentiment, the audio and video as well as searches hides some likes the thing, the common website for individual's blog and so on, generally uses is the Free Application Big website space, or spends very few virtual host, the life period is long, but is not stable.

3, entertaining people to amuse themselves

In order to entertain others for the purpose of amuse oneself, to free for the vast number of users to provide a variety of resources for fun, such as the general Web site to download the film, the majority of data downloads, common in the Education network, the server generally for their own desktop computers, such as some FTP servers, to provide data is calculated in G. Life is not long, with graduation may be the site has been hung up.

Have to mention is such a site also includes, for the vast number of users to provide free original open source code of the site, once Dedecms,yemao, as well as some forums, unfortunately, travel works in the mainland has rarely been able to see again, the classic wdb. Such sites may eventually be transformed into for-profit websites.

Thanks to Emuch's website, this is probably the best academic resource free website in China.

4, entertaining oneself entertaining person

Not to profit for the purpose of serving the public's Web site, of course, will be charged netizens donate, but will not force netizens to donate, so that the cost of basic can guarantee the normal operation of the site. Life time is longer. Here also includes some technical web sites, such as Maxthon, Dedecms should now belong to this type of ILIKEIT, so it is outdated.

The above 4 kinds have one general characteristic is not to profit for the purpose. Below is a description of the following types of personal web sites for Profit:

1, Technical type

Such sites are based on the sale of original code, the first is written by individuals, and then slowly formed a team, and finally developed into a company, such as domestic dvbbs,yuzibbs,discuz,phpwind,leoboard, there are many CMS.

2. Resource type

Mainly to provide film and television downloads as a means of profit, is generally combined with some BT download software, the use of community broadband as a network access, and then developed to later need to rent telecommunications servers.

Mainly to provide information services as the main content, such as academic journals, or some search engines do not search for resources.

3, Domain name space service provider

Although these sites to the company, but a large part of a person's company, because the domain name is not their own, the server is not their own, are the first level of commercial agencies to earn the difference in profits. As development may hire its own servers in the telecommunications room to provide virtual hosting services. The profit is more objective

4, pornographic website illegal OH

Provide bad information, through the sale of browsing, download account to profit, in fact, this is also a resource-type site, but is illegal resources. Profit is considerable

5. Advertising Type

By setting up personal websites, placing ads. This includes 2 types, one is to put a lot of raping people's eyes, pop-up ads to earn clicks now such sites have been reduced a lot. Low profit, annoying!

There is also a Web site to change the flow of income, increase the visibility and reputation of the site, and then put ads. Income is very objective!!

6. Speculative type

By registering some of the more specific domain names and e-mail accounts to sell profits, the risk is high.

7, the sale of Web-type

Make a popular feature website and sell it.

The above is my summary of the current Internet personal building station situation, not particularly comprehensive, you are welcome to add!

Building a website is a time-consuming, energy consumption, the cost of a thing, in the establishment of personal sites before you want to think of their own type, now for individuals to build a website, if you do not have the support of the principal, not a good idea, do not have their own characteristics, so it is difficult to "stir up trouble". Although the opportunity is many, but like in the net swims inside "wasteland" the age already past.

Build the website, you first think well!
